Cleaning the water inlet filter
A filter is incorporated in the screw
connection of the valve on the water
inlet hose. The filter must be cleaned
when dirty, otherwise insufficient water
flows into the wash cabinet.
,
The plastic housing of the water
connection contains an electrical
component. The housing must not
be dipped in water.
Recommendation
If the mains water contains a large
number of insoluble substances, we
recommend fitting a large-area filter in
the connection between the stopcock
and the water inlet hose threaded
union. This filter is available from the
Miele Spares Parts dept.
Cleaning the filter:
^ Switch the dishwasher off and
disconnect it from the mains.
^
Close the stopcock.
^
Unscrew the inlet hose.
^
Carefully remove the seal.
^ Withdraw the filter using pointed
pliers and rinse clean under running
water.
^ Take care when withdrawing the filter
not to pull out or dislodge the flow
regulator located underneath the
filter.
^ Replace the filter and seal, making
sure they are sitting correctly.
^
Reconnect the inlet hose to the
stopcock, making sure it goes on
correctly and is not cross-threaded.
^
Turn on the stopcock gradually to
test for leaks. If there is a leak, the
inlet hose might not be on securely,
or it may have been screwed on at an
angle. Unscrew and reconnect the
water inlet valve correctly.
