XKM RS232 com-
munication mod-
ule
The serial interface RS-232 can be retrofitted to the washing machine
via an XKMRS232 (optional accessory available from Miele). This
communication module must only be used with MieleProfes-
sionalmachines that are fitted with an appropriate slot for the mod-
ule.
The data interface provided via communication module
XKMRS232 complies with SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) in ac-
cordance with EN60950.
Appliances connected to this interface must also be SELV compli-
ant.
Communication module XKMRS232 is supplied with a connection
cable and a D-sub-connector.
Hard water kit
(APWM062)
The hard water connection on the washing machine can be retrofitted
with the optional hard water kit (APWM062).
The additional water connection allows hard water to be used and
the programme running time will therefore be reduced. In addition,
hard water is particularly suitable for the final rinse cycles.
Plinth (UO/UG)
The machine can be installed on a plinth (open or box plinth, available
as an optional Miele accessory).
Elevating the washing machine gives a better ergonomic working
position when loading or unloading. It also simplifies the installation
of a waste water connection.
The washing machine must be secured to the plinth immedi-
ately after installation! The plinth must be secured to the floor!
There is a risk of the washing machine falling off a raised plinth dur-
ing a spin cycle if it is not secured.
Vapour and foam
venting kit (BWS)
If excessive suds form, foam may escape from the vapour vent. To re-
move the foam, an optional vapour and foam venting kit (BWS) can
be used.
