The water protection system
The Miele water protection system
protects all parts of the washer-dryer
from water damage.
The system mainly consists of the
following components:
– the inlet hose
– the electronic unit and drainage and
overflow protection
– the drain hose
Inlet hose
– Protects the safety valve from
bursting
The inlet hose can withstand
pressure greater than 14,000 kPa.
– The inlet hose has a protective
sleeve.
The inlet hose has metal braiding as
a "second skin" to protect against
damage.
Electronic unit and casing
– Sump
Any leaking water is collected in a
sump in the base of the washer-
dryer. A float switches off the water
inlet valves, preventing any more
water from flowing into the machine
and water in the suds container is
pumped away.
– Overflow protection
This prevents the washer-dryer
taking in too much water. If the water
level exceeds a certain level, the
drain pump switches in and pumps
the excess water away in a controlled
way.
Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a
ventilation system which prevents the
washer-dryer from being emptied
completely.
