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 Miele.
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.
Open the stopcock.
If water leaks out, the inlet hose may
not be connected securely or it may
have been screwed on at an angle.
Unscrew and reconnect the water
inlet valve correctly.
