Connection to water supply
The machine should be connected to a
mains water supply in accordance with
standard regulations. In Germany the
washing machine is not required to
have a non-return valve as it has been
designed to comply with the relevant
German DIN standard.
Connection to the mains water supply
should incorporate a mains stopcock
with
3
/
4
’’ thread. The stopcock should
be fitted by a qualified plumber.
The approx. 1.5 m long
3
/
8
" pressure
hose should be connected to the stop-
cock via the
3
/
4
" threaded union.
This pressure hose is not suitable for
connection to a hot water supply.
Please make sure the washer sits cor-
rectly in the union.
The connection point is subject to
mains water pressure. Turn on the stop-
cock slowly and check for leaks.
If replacing the inlet hose only use a
hose able to withstand pressure of at
least 70 bar. This also applies to all
fixtures and fittings used. Miele origi
-
nal parts fulfil this condition.
Longer hoses 2.5 or 4 metres in length
are available as optional extras.
The machine is designed to operate
with a water flow pressure of 1 bar mini
-
mum up to 10 bar maximum. The static
water pressure must not exceed 10 bar.
If it is higher than 10 bar it is essential
to fit a reducer valve.
There is a minimum flow pressure of 1
bar pressure if 5 litres of water flow into
a suitable container in 15 seconds.
The two dirt filters - one in the open end
of the inlet hose, one at the inlet point in
the solenoid valve must not be re-
moved.
