Cleaning the water inlet filter
A filter is incorporated in the intake
hose attached to the dishwasher’s shut
off valve. If your water is hard, or the
pipes contain sediment, this filter may
clog and prevent enough water from
entering the wash cabinet.
Installing an in-line water filter
^
If your water contains a large number
of insoluble substances, a filter be-
tween the water valve and the intake
hose connection is recommended.
These filters can be purchased from
Miele’s Technical Service Depart-
ment.
,
The plastic valve housing on the
intake hose contains electrical com-
ponents and should not be im-
mersed, or run through water.
Cleaning the filter:
^
Disconnect the dishwasher from
electricity (unplug it or "trip" the cir-
cuit breaker).
^
Turn off the water valve.
^
Unscrew the intake hose.
^
Carefully remove the rubber seal.
^
Remove the filter using a needle nose
plier and rinse under running water.
^
Return the filter and seal. Make sure
they are seated correctly.
^
Screw the intake hose back on the
water valve, checking that it is not
cross-threaded.
^
Slowly turn on the valve and test for
leaks.
