Installation and connection Installing the washing machine The washing machine must be installed by Miele Service or by an authorized dealer. Follow the instructions on the installation plan. This washing machine is only intended for items of laundry that have not been proofed with dangerous or inflammable substances.
Installation and connection Facilitating maintenance For ease of future maintenance and servicing, the minimum distance to the wall must be observed to enable access. You must observe the minimum clearances and distance from the wall. Minimum distance to the wall approx. 16" / 400 mm to allow for main- tenance.
Installation and connection Shipping struts Remove the shipping struts. The 2 shipping safety devices at the front are each secured with 3 hexagonal screws. The 2 at the back are secured with 4 hexagonal screws. The shipping struts must only be removed when the machine is in place, before it is commissioned.
70 bar (7,000 kPa) overpressure and for water temperatures of a minimum of 194 °F / 90 °C. This also applies for associated connection fittings. Miele original re- placement parts fulfil these requirements. Tip: The hot water supply must not exceed a maximum temperature of 158 °F / 70 °C.
Installation and connection Dispensing agent connection to the liquid dispensing mixing compartment Connections 1 and 2 are provided for viscous detergents. These connection sockets are sealed and need to be drilled out with an 1/3" / 8 mm drill bit. Use caution when drilling through the outer wall (1) only, as there is a deflecting wall (2)10 mm behind it.
Installation and connection Drainage 2 1/2" (DN 70) AV drain valve, at the machine, 2 1/2" (DN 70) sleeve on-site. Volumetric flow rate 52 gal/min 200 l/min. If the slope for drainage is extremely steep, the piping must be vented so prevent formation of a vacuum in the machine's drain system. BWS suds drain and vapor vent If excessive suds form, suds may escape from the vapor vent.
Installation and connection Electrical connection The electrical connections must be carried out by a certified electri- cian in accordance with national codes and regulations. Tip: Open the machine lid to access the connection points. If you install a residual current device (RCD), it must be Type B. The machine electrical systems comply with standards EN 60335-1 and EN 50571.
