Water Intake - Miele WWH 860 Operating And Installation Instructions

Water intake

The washing machine can be
connected to a portable water supply. A
non-return valve is not needed unless
required by building code.
The washing machine has ½" (13 mm)
pressure hoses with ¾" (19 mm) female
hose thread connections. If there is no
water hookup, contact a plumber to
install a connection. Make sure that the
sealing ring is seated properly on the
hose connector.
Replace the hose only with a genuine
Miele hose, or with a hose able to
withstand up to 145 psi (10.000 kPa)
pressure. The water valve connector
must also be able to withstand 145 psi
(10.000 kPa).

The bolted connection is under
water pressure. Open the water
supply slowly to check for leaks.
Adjust the rubber seal and the bolted
connection if necessary.
To protect the inlet valve, the two
filters (one at the pressure hose /
valve connection and one at the inlet
connection to the solenoid valve)
must not be removed.
Maintenance
Only use a genuine Miele hose that has
been tested to withstand pressure of at
least 1,015 psi/7,000 kPa should you
ever need a replacement.
A filter is located in the open end of
the inlet hose and another in the
intake point to protect the inlet valve.
Neither filter may be removed.
Hose extension
Longer hoses of 8.2 ft (2.5 m) or 13 ft
(4.0 m) in length are available from your
Miele Dealer or the Miele Technical
Service as optional accessories.
