Installation and connection The water protection system Inlet hose The Miele water protection system pro‐ tects all parts of the washing machine from water damage. – The casing on the inlet hose contains two solenoid valves , which cut off the water intake directly at the stop‐ cock. These valves provide two-fold protection. In the event that one of the valves is faulty, the other valve will cut off the water intake.
Installation and connection The electronic unit and drainage and overflow protection – Drainage protection Any leaking water is collected in the sump in the base of the machine. A float switch closes the solenoid valves , preventing any more water from flowing into the machine and water in the suds container is pum‐ ped away. – Overflow protection If the water level exceeds a certain level, the drain pump switches in and pumps the excess water away in a controlled manner.
Installation and connection Connection to the water sup‐ ply The casing on the water inlet hose contains electrical compo‐ nents. It must not be connected in areas where there is the risk of water or other liquids reaching it, e.g. bath‐ rooms. The casing on the water inlet hose must not get wet. The washing machine should be con‐ nected to a mains water supply in ac‐ cordance with current local and nation‐ al safety regulations.
Installation and connection Maintenance Only use a Miele Waterproof system hose should you need a replacement. Disconnect the machine from the elec‐ tricity supply before unscrewing the wa‐ terproof system inlet hose from the stopcock.
