Installation and connection
65
Connection to the water supply
The washing machine should be
connected to a mains water supply in
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations.
IMPORTANT Australia and New
Zealand
This appliance must be installed
according to AS/NZS 3500.1. Backflow
prevention is already integrated in the
appliance.
The machine is designed to operate
with a flow pressure of between 100
and 1000kPa. If it is higher than
1000kPa, it is essential to fit a reducer
valve.
Connection to the mains water supply
should incorporate a mains tap with ¾"
threaded union. The tap should be fitted
by a qualified plumber.
The connection point is subject
to mains water pressure. Turn on the
tap slowly and check for leaks.
Correct the position of the washer
and union if appropriate.
The washing machine is not suitable
for connection to a hot water supply.
Maintenance and care
Only use a genuine Miele hose should
you ever need a replacement. These are
tested to withstand pressures up to
7000 kPa.
In order to protect the water inlet
valve, the two dirt filters (one in the
open end of the inlet hose, the other
in the inlet point in the machine)
must not be removed.
