Maintenance And Care; Extension Hose - Miele W 460 WPS Operating Instructions Manual

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
washing machine has been designed
to comply with DIN regulations.
The machine is designed to operate
with a flow pressure of between 1 and
10 bar. If it is higher than 10 bar it is
essential to fit a reducer valve.
Connection to the mains water supply
should incorporate a mains stopcock
3
with / " 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.
The washing machine is
for connection to a hot water supply
and connection to a household wa-
ter softener is not recommended.

If you intend to unscrew the Miele
Waterproof system hose from the
stopcock it is essential to disconnect
the machine from the electricity supply
first.
Only use a
hose should you need a replacement.
In order to protect the water inlet
valve, the dirt filter in the water inlet
valve connection must not be
removed.
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 140 bar and can be
used as a flexible extension to the wa-
suitable ter supply.
N.B. Using this hose renders the Water-
proof system safety valve on the inlet
hose ineffective.
