Connecting the water inlet
,
Water in the machine is not
suitable for drinking.
–
The machine must be connected to
the water supply in accordance with
local and national regulations.
–
High iron content can leave a rust
film on stainless steel labware and
the machine itself.
When the chloride content in the
domestic water supply is above
100mg/l, the risk of corrosion
damage to stainless steel labware is
greatly increased.
– In certain regions (e.g., mountainous
areas) the water composition may
cause condensate to form, requiring
the use of softened water in the
steam condenser.
– An acceptable water pressure (flow
rate) is 10 - 147 psi. However, the
recommended pressure is
25 - 60 psi.
If the water pressure is below 30 psi,
the fill time will take longer.
If the "Fill/Drain" indicator fault code
"F..E" lights, contact the Miele
Technical Service Department.
–
The maximum permissible static
water pressure is 145 psi over
pressure.
–
If the water pressure lies outside
these ranges, please contact Miele
Technical Service for advice (the
"Fill/Drain" indicator, may appear in
the display "F E").
–
The machine is designed for
connection to cold water (blue
marking) and hot water (red marking)
up to 158°F (70°C) max.
Connect the water intake hoses to
the cold and hot water faucets.
– If there is no hot water supply, the
intake hose with the red marking
must also be connected to the cold
water supply.
– Connect the intake hose for the
steam condenser (without water
safeguard) to the cold water faucet.
– See the next page for how to
connect the DI water line.
–
Water valves with
3
/
4
inch thread are
to be provided on site. They should
be easily accessible, because the
water supply will need to be turned
off when not in use.
–
The inlet hoses are approx.5½ft
(1.7 m) long pressure hoses with
3
/
4
inch thread. Do not remove the
water inlet filters in the threads.
