Installation Guide
Installation
The Miele Waterproof system
Provided that your dishwasher has been installed correctly, the
MieleWaterproof system will protect you from water damage throughout its
lifetime.
Water intake
Danger to health due to wash water.
Water in the dishwasher must not be used as drinking water.
Do not drink any water from the dishwasher.
Health risk and risk of damage due to contaminated incoming water.
The quality of the water used must correspond to the drinking water
specification of the country in which the dishwasher is being operated.
Connect the dishwasher to a drinking water supply.
The dishwasher may be connected to cold or hot water (up to max. 60 °C).
If energy-saving water heating sources, such as a solar water heating system,
are used, we recommend connecting to the hot water. This saves both time and
electricity costs. Hot water is used in all programmes. The intake hose is
approx. 1.5 m long.
A tap with a ¾” male thread must be provided on site. If this type of tap is
not available, only a qualified plumber may connect the dishwasher to the
household water supply.
The dishwasher must be connected to a mains water supply in accordance with
current local and national safety regulations.
The water connection pressure needs to be between 50 and 1000 kPa. If the
water pressure is lower than this, the indicator light flashes (see “Problem
solving guide – Water intake fault”). If the water pressure is too high, a
pressure reducing valve must be fitted.
Risk of damage from leaking water.
The threaded union is subject to water pressure. Water leaking from it can
cause damage. Turn on the tap slowly and check for leaks. Correct the position
of the seal and union if necessary.
Risk of damage due to excessive pressure.
A brief increase in the water pressure can damage components of the
dishwasher.
This dishwasher must only be operated when it is connected to a fully vented
plumbing system. **Risk of electric shock.
There are electrical components in the water inlet hose. The inlet hose must
not be shortened or damaged in any way (see illustration).
Drainage
The appliance drainage system is fitted with a non-return valve, which
prevents dirty water from flowing back into the dishwasher via the drain hose.
The dishwasher is supplied with approx. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose with an
internal diameter of 22 mm.
The hose can be extended using a connection piece to attach a further length
of hose. The drainage length must not be longer than 4 m and the delivery head
no higher than 1 m.
If the hose is to be directly connected to the drainage outlet on site, use
the supplied hose clip (see the installation plan).
The hose can be directed to the left or the right of the appliance. The on-
site connector for the drain hose can be adapted to different hose diameters.
If the connector extends too far into the drain hose, it must be shortened.
Otherwise, the drain hose can become clogged.
The drain hose must not be shortened.
Lay the drain hose so that it does not kink and is not being subjected to
pressure or being tugged.
**Risk of damage from leaking water.
Overflowing water can cause damage.
After using the appliance for the first time, make sure that the water drain
does not leak.
Venting the water drainage
If the on-site drainage connection is situated lower than the guide for the
rollers of the lower basket in the door, the drainage system must be vented.
Otherwise, a siphoning effect during a programme can cause the appliance to
empty itself of water.
- Open the dishwasher door fully.
- Remove the lower basket.
- Insert a screwdriver into the middle opening of the vent valve in the left wash cabinet wall 1.
- Press the screwdriver further into the opening and push it through the membrane 2 behind.
The vent opening for the water drain is now open.
Electrical connection
The dishwasher is supplied with a mains cable with moulded plug ready for
connection to an earthed socket.
The socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher has been installed.
If the switch is not accessible after installation, an additional means of
disconnection must be provided for all poles.
****Risk of fire from overheating. Connecting the dishwasher to a multi-
socket plug adapter or to an extension lead can overload the cable.
Do not use an extension lead or multi-socket plug adapter. The electrical
installation and all electrical work must be carried out by a suitably
qualified and competent person in strict accordance with national and local
safety regulations. For extra safety, it is advisable to install a residual
current device (RCD) with a trip current of 30 mA. Ensure power is not
supplied to the appliance until after the installation has been completed.
Connection should be made via a suitable switched socket.
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be replaced with a
specific mains connection cable of the same type (available Miele). For safety
reasons, such replacement may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and
competent technician or by a Miele authorised service technician, in order to
avoid a hazard. For technical data, see the data plate located on the right
side of the door. Compare this information with the data of the on-site
electrical connection. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Do not connect the dishwasher solely to a stand-alone inverter such as those
used with an autonomous energy source (e.g. solar power). When the dishwasher
is switched on, power surges could result in a safety switchoff. This could
damage the electronics.
Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or non-mains
synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks, back-up systems) is
possible. A requirement for the operation is that the energy supply system
complies with all current local and national requirements that apply to stand-
alone, solar and/or battery systems.
The protective measures provided in the domestic installation and in this
Miele product must also be assured in their function and operation in isolated
operation or in non-mains synchronous operation, or replaced with equivalent
measures in the installation.
