Connection to water supply
Fitting
The machine should be connected to a
mains water supply in accordance with
standard regulations. The German auth-
orities do not require it to have a non-re-
turn valve as the washing machine has
been designed to comply with DVGW
regulations (German Association of
Gas and Water Engineers, see data
plate).
The machine is designed to operate
with a minumum water pressure of 1
bar. There is a minimum flow pressure
of 1 bar pressure if 5 litres of water flow
into a suitable container in 15 seconds.
The water pressure must not exceed 10
bar.
If the water pressure is higher than 10
bar it is essential to fit a reducer valve.
The Miele "Waterproof system" con-
nected between the stopcock and the
machine offers the safest protection
against water leaks.
For the "Waterproof system" to function
correctly, it may only be fitted in the po-
sitions shown (see illustrations above).
Connection to the mains water supply
should incorporate a mains stopcock
with 3/4" thread. The stopcock should
be fitted by a qualified plumber.
