The water protection system
The Miele water protection system pro-
tects all parts of the washing machine
from water damage.
The system consists of three main com-
ponents:
- 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
pressure of at least 7,000kPa.
Electronic module and housing
- Floor tray: any leaking water from the
washing machine is collected in the
floor tray. There is a float switch to
close the water intake valve. The wa-
ter inlet is shut off and any water in-
side the suds container is drained
away.
- Leak protection: any leaking water
that is not collected in the floor tray is
detected. The water inlet is shut off
and any water inside the suds con-
tainer is drained away.
- Overflow protection: this prevents the
washing machine from taking in too
much water and overflowing. If the
water level exceeds a certain level,
the drain pump switches on and
pumps the excess water away.
Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a ventila-
tion system which prevents the washing
machine from being emptied com-
pletely.
Connection to the water supply
Connecting the water inlet
Health risk and risk of damage
due to contaminated incoming water.
The quality of the incoming water
must correspond to the drinking wa-
ter specification of the country in
which the washing machine is being
operated.
Always connect the washing ma-
chine to the mains water supply.
The water connection pressure needs
to be between 100 and 1000kPa. If the
water connection pressure exceeds
1000kPa, a pressure reducing valve
must be installed.
A stopcock with a ¾inch threaded
union is required for the connection. If
this is not available, only a qualified in-
staller may connect the washing ma-
chine to the mains water supply.
The screw thread is subject to water
connection pressure.
Check the connection for leaks.
Slowly open the stopcock. Correct
the position of the seal and screw
thread if necessary.
The washing machine is not suitable
for connection to a hot water supply.
The washing machine must not be
connected to a hot water supply.
