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. It 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:
^
Disconnect the dishwasher from the
mains supply. Switch off at the mains
socket and withdraw the plug.
^
Close the stopcock.
^
Unscrew the inlet hose.
^
Carefully remove the seal.
^
Withdraw the filter using pointed
pliers and rinse clean under running
water.
^
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.
