Connection to the water supply

 Water from the wash cabinet must not be consumed.
- The machine must be connected to the water supply in strict ac-
cordance with current local and national water authority regulations.
- The water used must at least comply with European regulations for
drinking water quality. If the water supply has a high iron content
there is a danger of corrosion occurring on items being cleaned in
the machine, as well as the machine itself. If the chloride content of
the water exceeds 100 mg/l the risk of corrosion to items being
cleaned in the machine will be further increased.
- UK, Australia and New Zealand only: To comply with water regula-
tion requirements, this machine must be connected to the potable
water supply via the the non-return check valve supplied with the
machine.
- This machine is supplied as standard for connection to cold water
(blue coded hose) or hot water up to max. 60 °C (red coded hose).
Connect the inlet hose to the cold or hot water stopcock as re-
quired.
- More information on AD water connection can be found at the end
of this section.
- The Minimum flow pressure for a cold or hot water connection is
40 kPa pressure, and for AD water connection is 30 kPa pressure.
- Recommended flow pressure for cold and hot water connections
is ≥ 200 kPa pressure and for AD water connection ≥ 200 kPa pres-
sure, to avoid excessively long water intake times.
- The maximum permissible static water pressure is 1000 kPa
pressure.
- If the water pressure does not fall into the stated range contact
Miele Service for advice.
- Stopcocks with a ¾ inch screw thread must be provided on site for
the connection. The valves must be easily accessible to allow the
water inlet to be turned off when not in use.
- The water inlet hoses are approximately 1.7 m long pressure hoses,
DN 10, with ¾ inch screw thread. The filters in the screw threads
must not be removed.
