The Miele water protection
system
The Miele water protection system
protects the washer from water
damage.
The system consists of three main
components:
1) the inlet hose
2) the washer electronics and housing
3) the drain hose
1) The inlet hose
– Hose burst protection
The inlet hose can withstand
pressure of more than 7000 kPa.
2) The electronics and housing
– Sump
Any leaking water is collected in a
sump in the base of the washer. A
float then switches off the inlet
valves, preventing any additional
water inflow, and any water in the
suds container is pumped away.
–
Overflow protection
This feature helps prevent the
washer from taking in too much
water. If the water exceeds a certain
level, the drain pump starts and
pumps away the water.
3) The drain hose
The drain hose is equipped with a
ventilation system that prevents the
washer from being emptied
accidentally.
Connecting to the water
supply
The washer is designed to comply with
applicable CSA standards, for
connection to a tap water line. It does
not require a non-return valve.
The flow pressure must be between
100 kPa and 1000 kPa. If the pressure
is above 1000 kPa, a pressure-
reducing valve MUST be installed.
Two stopcocks with
3
/
4
" thread are
required for connecting to the water
supply. If these are not available, you
will need to have a qualified plumber fit
the washer to the water supply.
,
The screw fittings are under
pressure from the water line. To
check that the connections are
watertight, slowly open the taps.
Correct the placement of the washer
and union as needed.
Maintenance and care
If the hose ever needs to be replaced,
use only a genuine Miele hose - it is
tested to withstand pressure of at least
7000 kPa.
In order to protect the water inlet
valve, the two dirt filter screens (one
in the open end of the inlet hose, the
other in the inlet point in the washer)
should not be removed.
Optional extension hose
Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length are
available from your Miele dealer or
Miele Customer Service.
