							Connection to the water
supply
Installation, repairs and other
work by unqualified persons could
be dangerous.
Do not drink water from the
dishwasher!
–The dishwasher can heat its own
water to the temperature required by
the wash program. This allows for
connection of the machine to either a
hot (max. 140°F / 60°C) or cold water
source.
For lowest energy consumption and
fastest possible wash times connect
the dishwasher to a hot water
source. All programs use hot water in
the rinse cycles.
– The inlet hose is approximately 5 ft.
(1.5 m) long.
–
The water inlet hose comes
equipped with an inlet hose ending
with a 3/8 female compression
fitting. This can be directly
connected to a water supply valve or
to an appropriate coupling.
If not connected directly to a water
supply valve, an appropriate
adapter (not included) is required.–Water pressure: Must be between
4.5 - 145 psi (0.3 - 10 bar).
–If the water pressure if lower, a
Water Intake notification will be
shown. See Frequently Asked
Questions for more information.
–If the water pressure is higher than
shown, a pressure reducing valve
must be used.
Ensure that the water connection is
secure after the first use.
To prevent damage to the
dishwasher, it must only be
connected to a fully vented drainage
system.
Do not cut the intake hose. If the
hose is cut, the dishwasher will not
work. There will be a water leak. If
the hose is too long, coil it neatly
and place it behind or under the
machine.

							Drainage
–The machine comes equipped with a
built-in non-return valve on the
discharge side to prevent waste
water from flowing back into the
dishwasher.
–The dishwasher is equipped with a
5 ft (1.5 m) flexible drain hose with an
internal diameter of 7/8 (22 mm).
–Drain hose extensions and adapters
can be ordered from Miele.
The maximum drain hose length is
13 ft. (4 m), max. drain height: 39
(1 m).
– Use the clamp provided to attach the
hose to the dishwashers P trap or
disposal connection (see the
Installation Diagram).
The hose must always be attached
on the sink side of the P trap.
When attaching the hose to a
garbage disposal fitting, make sure
the plug which is normally blocking
the fitting is knocked out or
removed.
–
The hose can be angled to the left or
right side at the rear of the machine.
–
The existing nipple that the drain
hose is connected to may be
designed for various hose diameters.
If the nipple diameter is to large or to
small it should be replaced or an
adapter may be used. If the nipple
extends more than 2 (50 mm) into
the drain hose it should be
shortened, or the hose could clog.–The drain hose must not be
shortened.
Make sure the hose is not kinked
or cut when pushing the machine
under the countertop.
Venting the drainage system
If the dishwasher drain hose is
connected to a floor drain or to a drain
pipe that is less than 8 (20 cm) above
the floor, the drain must be vented.
Otherwise the water inside the
dishwasher may siphon out during the
wash program.
Open the dishwasher door and
remove the lower basket.
Pull the lower spray arm firmly
upwards to remove.

Cut off the vent cap located at the
right rear of the triple filter system, as
illustrated.
