Cleaning the water inlet filters
The washer has two water inlet filters to
protect each inlet valve. These filters should
be checked and cleaned if necessary every
6 months. This may have to be done more
frequently with some water supplies.
Cleaning the inlet hose filters
^
Turn off the water valve.
^
Unscrew the inlet hose from the water
valve.
^
Remove the rubber seal, 1 , from the
connector.
^
Using needle nose pliers, grasp the plastic
filter,
2 , and pull it out of the hose
connector and clean.
^
Reassemble the filter and seal.
The inlet hose filters should be cleaned
every 6 months.
Inspect the hose regularly. The hose must
be in good condition to withstand high water
pressure. The hose must be replaced if there
are small cracks in the surface or if it has
been damaged or cut.
Only use hose that can withstand a minimum
pressure of 70 bar. Original Miele hoses fulfill
this requirement.
Cleaning the filter in the inlet valve
^
Using a wrench, carefully loosen and
remove the plastic hose connector on the
inlet valve.
^
Using needle nose pliers, withdraw the
plastic filter by pulling on the bar (see
illustration). Rinse under running water.
^
Reassemble the filter and seal.
Both filters must be put back in place
after cleaning.
