Operating instructions

The Miele water protection
system
The Miele water protection system pro
-
tects the washing machine from water
damage.
The system consists of three main com
-
ponents:
1) the inlet hose
2) the electronic unit and the washing
machine housing
3) the drain hose
1) Inlet hose
The inlet hose can withstand pressu-
re of more than 7,000 kPa.
2) Electronic unit and washing ma-
chine housing
– Sump
Any leaking water is collected in a
sump in the base of the machine. A
float switches off the safety valves,
preventing any more water 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 in and pumps
the excess water away.
3) Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a ven
-
tilation system which prevents the
washing machine from being emp
-
tied completely.
