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 "Wa-
terproof system" unit from the mains wa-
ter supply it is essential that the ma-
chine 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 "Water
-
proof system" connection must not
be removed.
