Cleaning the water inlet filter
A filter is incorporated in the screw con-
nection 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 num-
ber of insoluble substances, we recom-
mend 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 pli-
ers and rinse clean under running wa-
ter.
Replace the filter and seal, making
sure they are sitting correctly.
Reconnect the inlet hose to the stop-
cock, making sure it goes on cor-
rectly 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 in-
let valve correctly.
