Notes on connecting to the
wat
er supply
Disconnect the appliance from the
ele
ctrical power supply before
connecting the water line.
Turn off the water supply before
co
nnecting the water lines for the
range.
– All devices used for connecting the
applianc
e to the water supply must
comply with the current national and
local safety regulations in the country
in which the range is being installed.
– We do not recommend the use of
wat
er produced by Reverse Osmosis
filtration systems. Along with the
possibility of detrimental health
effects, highly purified water can
cause the premature corrosion and
failure of components in your
appliance. Furthermore, many RO
systems, especially under counter
systems, do not deliver sufficient
water pressure to allow the appliance
to operate properly. Connection to
such a water supply could cause
poor performance, premature
appliance failure, leaks and/or
flooding. Miele will not be
responsible for any damages caused
by appliances connected to these
systems. Only use filtered, softened
and demineralized water from the
building's plumbing to supply the
oven.
– Connect the range to a cold water
supply only.
– The range may be connected to a
wat
er supply without a non-return
valve.
– A water shut-off valve must be
pr
ovided between the stainless steel
hose and the household water supply
to ensure that the water supply can
be cut off if necessary.
– The water shut-off valve must be
acce
ssible after installation.
– The water pressure must be between
1 and 10 bar (10
5
and 10
6
P
a or 14.5
and 145 psi). If the pressure is higher
than this, install a pressure reducer.
– The stainless steel hose provided has
a len
gth of 4 ft. 11" (1.5 m). Longer
intake hoses are available if
necessary. Do not shorten the hoses.
– The total hose length must not
e
xceed 24.5 ft. (7.5 m).
Ensure that the shut-off valve is
acc
essible after installation.
If the stainless steel hose is
damage
d, it must be replaced with a
hose suitable for supplying drinking
water.
