Drainage
The 5 foot (1.5 m) drain hose may be connected as follows: 1. Directly into a sink: hook the hose over the edge of the sink and secure it firmly (e.g. by tying the hose to the water faucet). 2. To a stand pipe: place the drain hose into a 1 ½" (4 cm) stand pipe and secure it firmly. 3. To a floor drain: The machine is equipped with an air gap / anti-siphoning system so that no minimum drain height is required. ^ The machine drains using a pump with a maximum delivery height of 4 feet (1.2 m). ^ Make sure there are no kinks in the drain hose. If desired, the drain hose may be extended to run a maximum of 16 feet (4.9 m), as long as the 4 foot (1.2 m) height is not exceeded. Hose extensions are available from your Miele dealer or Miele.
