Connection to the drainage
system
The machine drains via a drain pump
with a delivery head of 1 metre*. The
drain hose must not be kinked as this
restricts drainage. The swivel elbow at
the end of the hose can be turned in
either direction, or can be detached if
required, with a sharp twist and pull.
If required, the drain hose can be
extended to a length of 5 m. The
necessary parts can be purchased
from Miele.
* For a delivery head more than1m(up
to a max. of 1.8 m), a second duo-drain
pump is available...

Electrical connection
The washing machine is supplied with a
mains cable with moulded plug for
connection to a 230V mains supply.
The voltage, rated load and plug rating
are given on the data plate. Please
ensure these match the household
mains supply.
The accesibility of the plug must always
be ensured in order to separate the
washing machine from the mains.
All electrical work should be carried out
only by a suitably qualified and

The consumption data displayed in EcoFeedback may deviate from the
consumption data listed above. Deviations arise due to how data is calculated
in the washing machine. Water consumption, for example, is calculated
according to the opening times of the water inlet valve. If pressure fluctuations
occur in the water supply, or the water pressure is below 170 kPa, deviations
may...
