,
Water in the machine must not
be used as drinking water.
–
The machine must be connected to
the water supply in accordance with
local and national regulations.
–
The water supply must meet or
surpass all applicable tap water
codes.
High iron content can lead to rust
formation in the appliance and on the
items washed.
If the chloride content in the water
supply is above 100mg/l, the risk of
corrosion is greatly increased.
– The washer is constructed so it may
be connected to a water supply
without an extra non-return valve,
unless required by code.
– Water in certain regions shows
precipitations. In this case the
machine must only be used with a
water softener unit.
–
The water pressure (flow rate) must
be a minimum of 7.25 psi.
If the water pressure (flow rate) is
below 29 psi, the filling time is
automatically extended.
The max. permitted static pressure is
145 psi.
If the water pressure is not in the
range of 7.25 to 145 psi the
"Fill/Drain" indicator may come on
and the fault code "F2E" may show in
the display. Please contact the Miele
Service Department.

The machine is supplied to be
connected to a standard cold or hot
water supply at a maximum
temperature of 60 °C.

A water valve with
3
/
4
" male hose
thread is to be provided on site. It

2 cm female hose thread. A 1.5 m
extension hose is available (flexible
metal hose, 2.03 psi pressure). The
water inlet filters in the threads
must not be removed.
