Waterproof system
All Miele dishwashers have a safety valve
located on the incoming water line and a
sealed underside with a water sensor.
If a fault occurs, the water intake is
stopped and the drain pump is activated.
Connection to the water supply
,
Do not drink water from the
dishwasher!
– The dishwasher can heat its own water
to the temperature required by the
wash program. This allows for
connection of the machine to either a
hot or cold water source. For lowest
energy consumption connect the
dishwasher to a cold water source. For
fastest possible wash times, with
slightly higher energy consumption,
connect the dishwasher to a hot water
source. All programs use hot water in
the rinse cycles.
– To use the "Energy Saver" program, a
hot water connection of minimum
115°F / 45°C and maximum 140°F /
60°C (water intake temperature) is
necessary.
The higher the water intake
temperature, the better the cleaning
and drying results.
– The inlet hose is approximately 5 ft.
(1.5m) long.
– A 5 ft. (1.5m) drain extension is
available from Miele.
– The water inlet hose comes equipped
with a 3/4" female hose thread
connector. This can be directly
connected to a water supply with 3/4"
MHT (male hose thread ends).
– Water pressure: Must be between 4.5 -
145 psi (0.3 - 10 bar).
If the water pressure is lower, the
display shows Water intake
see "Frequently asked questions".
With high water intake pressure, a
reducing valve must be used.
,
To prevent damage to the
dishwasher, it must only be
connected to a fully vented drainage
system.
Do not cut the intake hose. It contains
electrical wiring. If the hose is cut, the
dishwasher will not work. There will be
a water leak and you could be injured.
If the hose is too long, coil it neatly
and place it behind the machine.
