Water intake
 Health risk and risk of damage
due to contaminated incoming water.
The quality of the incoming water
must comply with the requirements
for drinking water in the country in
which the washing machine is being
operated.
Always connect the washing
machine to the drinking water
supply.
The washing machine can be
connected to a portable water supply. A
non-return valve is not needed unless
required by building code.
The washing machine has ½“ (13mm)
pressure hoses with ¾” (19mm) female
hose thread connections. If there is no
water hookup, contact a plumber to
install a connection. Make sure that the
sealing ring is seated properly on the
hose connector.
Replace the hose only with a genuine
Miele hose, or with a hose able to
withstand up to 145psi (1,000kPa)
pressure. The water valve connector
must also be able to withstand 145psi
(1,000kPa).
The bolted connection is under water
pressure. Open the water supply
slowly to check for leaks. Adjust the
rubber seal and the bolted
connection if necessary.
Maintenance
Only use a genuine Miele hose that has
been tested to withstand pressure of at
least 870psi (6,000kPa) should you
ever need a replacement.
 A filter is located in the open end
of the inlet hose and another in the
intake point to protect the inlet valve.
Neither filter may be removed.
