Connection to the water
supply
The machine should be connected to a
mains water supply in accordance with
local and national safety regulations.
The German authorities do not require it
to have a non-return valve as the
washer-dryer has been designed to
comply with DIN regulations.
The machine is designed to operate
with a flow pressure of between
100 kPa and 1,000 kPa. If it is higher
than 1,000 kPa it is essential to fit a
reducer valve.
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 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.
This machine is not suitable for
connection to a hot water supply.
Maintenance and care
Only use a genuine Miele hose which is
pressure tested to 14,000 kPa should
you ever need a replacement or
extension.
In order to protect the water inlet
valve, the dirt filter in the water inlet
valve connection must not be
removed.
Extension hose
A 1.5 metre long (metal) extension hose
is available from your Miele dealer or
the Miele Spare Parts Department as an
optional extra.
This hose is tested to withstand
pressures of up to 14,000 kPa and can
be used as a flexible extension to the
water supply.
