The connection point is subject to
mains water pressure. Turn on the
stopcock slowly and check for
leaks. Correct the position of the
washer and union if appropriate.
The "Waterproof system" is NOT suit-
able for connection to a hot water
supply.
The protective sleeve of the hose must
not be damaged (see illustration).
The "Waterproof system" with a hose
length of approx. 4.5 metres is avail-
able as an optional extra from your
Miele dealer or the Spare Parts Depart-
ment.
Function
At the heart of this leak protection sys-
tem there is an electric safety valve,
which works like an automatic stop-
cock.
The Miele "Waterproof system" protects
from water damage in the following
cases:
Protection in the event of a leaking
machine.
Any leaking water is collected in a
sump in the base of the appliance. A
float switch switches the safety valve
off electrically. No more water will flow
in.
Protection in the event of a leaking
water inlet hose
Leaking water is fed into the sump
through the protective covering which
surrounds the inlet hose as a "second
skin". The float switch turns off the
water supply.
Maintenance
N.B. If you intend to unscrew the
"Waterproof system" unit from the
mains water supply it is essential that
the machine is first disconnected from
the electricity supply.
Only use a genuine Miele "Waterproof
system" able to withstand pressure of
up to 70 bar, should you ever need a
replacement.
To protect the filters in the water
inlet valves the dirt filter in the
"Waterproof system" connection
must not be removed.
