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 (see “Checking
the water level”).
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 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 the Miele
Spares Dept.
Cleaning the filter:
Disconnect the dishwasher from the
mains supply (switch off at the mains
socket, pull out the plug , switch off
the appropriate circuit at the fuse box
or withdraw the mains fuse).
Turn off the stopcock.
Unscrew the inlet hose.
Carefully remove the rubber seal.
Withdraw the filter using pointed pliers
and rinse clean under running water.
Replace the filter and seal, making
sure they are sitting correctly.
Screw back into place on the water
inlet, taking care that it is not cross-
threaded.
Turn on the stopcock gradually to
test for leaks. If there is a leak, screw
the connections on more tightly, mak-
ing sure the threads do not cross.
