The Miele water protection
system
The Miele water protection system
protects all parts of the washing
machine and surrounds from water
damage.
The system consists of three main
components:
- the inlet hose
- the electronic unit and drainage and
overflow protection
- the drain hose
Inlet hose
- Protection against bursting
The inlet hose is tested to withstand
pressures up to 7000kPa.
Electronic unit and washing machine
housing
- Sump: Any leaking water is collected
in a sump in the base of the machine.
A float switches off the water inlet
valves, preventing any more water
from flowing into the machine and
water in the suds container is
pumped away.
- Overflow protection: This prevents
the washing machine taking in too
much water. If the water level
exceeds a certain level, the drain
pump switches on and pumps the
excess water away in a controlled
way.
Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a
ventilation system which prevents the
washing machine from being emptied
completely.
Connection to the water supply
Health risk and risk of damage
due to contaminated mains water.
The quality of the water used must
correspond to the drinking water
specification of the country in which
the washing machine is being
operated.
Always connect the washing
machine to potable water.
The washing machine must be
connected to a mains water supply in
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations.
The water connection pressure needs
to be between 100kPa (1 bar) and
1000kPa (10 bar). If the water
connection pressure exceeds 1000kPa,
a pressure reducing valve must be
installed.
A tap with a ¾inch threaded union is
required for the connection.
The connection point is subject to
mains water pressure.
Turn on the tap slowly and check for
leaks. Correct the position of the
washer and union if necessary.
The washing machine is not suitable
for connection to a hot water supply.
