The Miele waterproof anti-leak
syst
em
Provided your dishwasher has been in‐
stalled corr
ectly, the Miele WaterProof
System will protect you from water
damage throughout its lifetime.
Connection to the water sup‐
ply
W
ater in the dishwasher must
not be used as drinking water.
– The dishwasher may be connected to
a col
d or hot water supply, max.
60 °C.
We would only recommend connec‐
tion to a hot water supply if it is eco‐
nomical, e.g. a solar powered supply.
When connected to a hot water sup‐
ply all programme stages which
would otherwise be carried out with
cold water will be carried out with hot
water.
– The inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m long.
A 1.5 m long
flexible metal extension
hose, pressure tested to 14000 kPa/
140 bar) is available as an optional
accessory, if required.
– A stopcock with a 3/4" male thread
must be pr
ovided on site.
– This appliance is constructed to
comply with IEC/EN/DIN 61770 //
VDE 0700 Section 600, and may be
con
nected to a suitable supply with‐
out an extra non-return valve if na‐
tional regulations permit.
– The water pressure (flow pressure at
the tak
e-off point) must be between
30 and 1000 kPa (0.3 and 10 bar). If
the water pressure is too high, a
pressure reducer valve must be fit‐
ted.
After connecting the dishwasher to
the wat
er supply, check that all
plumbing connections are watertight.
T
o avoid any damage to the ap‐
pliance, the dishwasher must only be
operated when it is connected to a
fully vented plumbing system.
The inlet hose must not be
sh
ortened or damaged in any way as
it contains electrical components
(see illustration).
