The Miele Waterproof system
Provided your dishwasher has been
installed correctly, the Miele Waterproof
system will provide protection against
water damage throughout its lifetime.
Connection to the water supply
The water in the dishwasher
must not be used as drinking water.
– The dishwasher must be connected
to the water supply in strict
accordance with current local and
national water authority regulations.
– The water used must at least comply
with national regulations for drinking
water quality.
If the water supply has a high iron
content, there is a danger of
corrosion occurring on items being
cleaned in the dishwasher, as well as
the machine itself.
If the chloride content of the water
exceeds 100mg/l, the risk of
corrosion to items being cleaned in
the dishwasher will be further
increased.
– In certain regions (e.g. mountainous
regions), the water composition may
cause precipitates to form, requiring
the use of softened water for the
dishwasher.
– This appliance must be installed
according to AS/NZS 3500.1. This
appliance has been supplied with a
separate backflow prevention device.
– The water pressure (flow pressure at
the connection point) must be
between 30 and 1000kPa (0.3 and
10bar).
If the water pressure is lower than
this, the fault message Inlet will
appear in the display (see "Problem
solving guide").
If the water pressure is too high, a
pressure reducer valve must be fitted.
– A tap valve with a
3
/
4
inch male
thread must be provided on site. The
tap should be easily accessible so
that the water supply can be turned
off when the dishwasher is not in use.
– The DN 10 inlet hose is approx. 1.5m
long terminating in a
3
/
4
inch female
thread. A 1.5m long flexible metal
extension hose (tested to 140bar /
14,000kPa) is available as an
optional accessory if required. Under
no circumstances must the inlet filter
or the flow regulator in the
connection be removed.
