Installation

Water connection

Cold water connection

The washing machine should be con-
nected to a mains water supply in ac-
cordance with current local and national
safety regulations. The German author-
ities do not require it to have a non-re-
turn valve as the washing machine has
been designed to comply with DIN reg-
ulations.
In the U.K. both the hot and cold wa-
ter supplies must be connected to
the mains water connection with the
provided double check valve. Hot
water temperature must not exceed
60 °C.
The flow pressure must amount to a
minimum of 100 kPa and must not ex-
ceed 1000 kPa. If the pressure exceeds
1000 kPa, a pressure reducing valve
must be installed.
For the connection, a stopcock with a
¾" screw thread is required. If this type
of stopcock is not available, only a
qualified installer may connect the
washing machine to the mains water
supply.
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 screw thread if ap-
propriate.
The inlet hose for cold water is not
suitable for connection to a hot water
supply.

Maintenance
Only use genuine Miele hoses that have
been tested to withstand pressure of at
least 7000 kPa should you ever need a
replacement.
A filter is located in the open end of
the inlet hose and another in the in-
take point to protect the water inlet
valve.
Neither filter may be removed.
Hose extension
Longer hoses of 2.5 m or 4.0 m in
length are available from Miele or from
your Miele dealer as accessories.
Hot water connection
The washing machine can be connec-
ted to a hot water connection (up to a
maximum of 70 °C).
This requires a special water inlet hose.
The hose can be ordered from a Miele
dealer or the Miele Customer Service
Department.
If the washing machine is connected to
a hot water point, you must configure
the settings Main wash water, Pre-wash
water and Rinse water to hot (see "Su-
pervisor level").
