Installation and planning notes

Installation requirements

Electrical connection should only be made to a power supply provided

in accordance with all appropriate local and national legislation and

regulations.

In addition, all regulations issued by the appropriate utilities as well as

standards relating to occupational safety, and all applicable valid

regulations and technical standards must be observed.

Transportation and site access

The machine must not be moved without the transit bars in place.

Keep the transit bars in a safe place. They must be refitted if the

machine is to be moved again (e.g. when relocating the machine).

General operating conditions

Ambient temperature in installation room: +2°C to +35°C.

Depending on the nature of the installation site, sound emissions and

vibration may occur. Miele recommends consulting a specialist if

particular requirements apply at the installation site with respect to

sound emissions.

Electrical connection

Depending on the model, the machine is delivered with a supply lead

with/without a plug.

The washer may only be connected to an electrical system that

conforms to the national and local codes and regulations. The

installation must be performed by a qualified electrician.

The machine data plate indicates the nominal power consumption and

the appropriate fuse capacity. Compare the specifications on the data

plate with those of the electrical power supply.

The machine can be hard-wired or connected using a switched

connection in accordance with IEC 60309-1 or AS/NZS 3000. It is

always recommended to make electrical connection via a plug and

socket so that electrical safety checks, e.g. during repair or service

work, can be carried out easily.

If the machine is hard wired, a dual circuit breaker must be provided

on-site. When switched off, there must be an all-pole contact gap of 3

mm in the isolator switch (including switch, fuses and relays according

to IEC/EN 60947 or AS/NZS 3000).

The plug connectors or isolator switch should be easily accessible for

servicing work. If the machine is disconnected from the electricity

supply, ensure adequate measures are taken to ensure that the

machine cannot be reconnected to the electricity supply until all work

has been carried out.

New connections, modifications to the system or servicing of the

ground conductor, including determining the correct fuse amperage,

must be carried out by a qualified electrician, as they are familiar with

the pertinent regulations and the specific requirements of the

electricity supplier.

If converting the machine to an alternative voltage, observe the

instructions in the wiring diagram. Conversion must be performed

by an authorised agent or a Miele service technician. The heater

rating must also be properly set.

The machine must be permanently connected to the electricity supply

so that the door can be opened. For this reason, it must not be

connected to devices such as timers which would switch it off

automatically.

References to cable cross-sections in the technical data refer only to

the required supply lead. Please consult relevant local and national

regulations when calculating any other wire gauges.

Cold water connection

The machine should be connected to a mains water supply in

accordance with current local and national regulations on water

safety.

IMPORTANT: Australia and New Zealand

This appliance must be installed according to AS/NZS 3500.1. This

appliance has been supplied with a separate backflow prevention

device.

Add drawing and instructions as per below for installing the non-return

valve

• Disconnect the mains (switch off or unplug the power).

• Turn off the water tap.

• Place the seals on both sides of the non-return valve.

• Connect the female of the non-retun valve to the tap (G3/4" thread).

• Connect the hose to the male end of the no-return valve (G3/4"

thread).

• Turn on the tap gradually to test for leaks. If there is a leak, the

connection might not be on securely, or it may have been screwed on

at an angle. Unscrew and reconnect the water correctly before

tightening it.

Connection to the water supply should be carried out by a qualified

plumber using a tap with a threaded union. If a tap is not available, a

qualified plumber should connect the machine to the water supply.

A suitable connection hose with a threaded union is provided with the

machine.

Longer hoses (2.5 or 4.0 m in length) are available from Spares as

separate items.

The hoses must be connected after the non-return valve.

Hot water connection

The same connection requirements as for cold water also apply to hot

water (max. 70°C).

A suitable connection hose with a threaded union is provided with the

machine.

The machine can be connected to a hot water supply of 70°C to max.

85°C. This requires the use of a separate heat-resistant inlet hose.

This additional hose must be obtained from Miele. In addition, the

appliance must be programmed accordingly by a Miele service

technician or an authorised agent.

Connection to hot water only is not possible for functional reasons.

In the event that hot water is not available on site, connection of the

second hose must be made to a cold water supply.

Alternatively, the hot water connection should be blocked using the

enclosed blind stopper and the machine controls set to cold water

intake.

The required amount of hot water should be added to the cold water

volume.

Grey water connection

The connection of an alternative type of water is optional and requires

the use of an additional kit.

The same requirements apply as for the cold water connection.

Drain valve (depending on model)

The washing machine is drained using a motorised drain valve. The

machine can be connected directly to the on-site drainage system

(without an odour trap) or via a floor drain (floor drain with odour trap).

A vented drainage system is vital for unimpeded drainage. If on-site

venting is insufficient, a vent kit (Mat. no. 05239540) is available from

Miele.

If several machines are connected to a single drain pipe, this should

be sufficiently large to allow all machines to drain simultaneously.

Drain pump (depending on model)

The machine drains through a pump with a 1 m delivery head. For the

water to drain freely, the hose must be free of kinks. The swivel elbow

at the end of the hose can be turned in either direction, or removed as

needed with a sharp twist and pull.

Drain hose connection:

1. Connected securely to a trapped waste pipe with a rubber sleeve.

2. Connected over the rim of the laundry trough or into the sud-saver

pipe of the laundry trough.

3. Connected securely to a waste pipe connected to the floor waste

gully.
