Drain valve
If there is no hard water connection on site, the hose must be
connected to the cold water connection.
In the case of washing machines with a drain valve, a motorised valve
is used to drain the machine. An HT DN 70 angle connector can be
used for draining the machine directly into the waste water system
(without a siphon) or into an on-site floor drain (with odour trap).
Thanks to an improved closing mechanism and a larger cross-
section, even the coarsest of soiling does not leave any deposits or
debris behind which could result in blockages. The drain valve can
also be operated manually to allow the suds container to be emptied
in the event of a power outage.
A vented drainage system is vital for unimpeded drainage.
If several machines are connected to a single drain pipe, this
should be sufficiently large to allow all machines to drain
simultaneously.
The appropriate Miele installation kit (mat. no.: 05 238 090) is
available to order from the Miele Customer Service Department or
your Miele dealer for venting an HT DN 70 pipe.
If the slope for drainage is extremely steep, the piping must be
vented to prevent formation of a vacuum in the machine's drainage
system.
Slow or obstructed drainage or a backup of water in the drum as a
result of undersized pipework can result in faults occurring during
programmes, which will result in fault messages appearing in the
display.
Outflowing suds can be as hot as 95 °C. Danger of burning!
Avoid direct contact.
Dispenser pump connections
Up to 12 dispenser pumps can be connected to the washing
machine.
