Caution: if laundry has been washed at a
high temperature, water draining out of
the machine will still be hot.
^
Once the flow of water ceases, remove the
fluff filter completely and clean it.
^
Remove any foreign bodies (e.g. buttons,
coins, etc) and fluff.
^
Turn the impeller by hand to check that it is
free to rotate. Any foreign objects causing
an obstruction should be removed.
^
Clean inside the fluff filter housing.
Remove any deposits of lime scale and
detergent or foreign bodies from the
thread of the filter housing and filter unit.
Screw the fluff filter back into position and
close the access panel.
Cleaning the filters in the water inlet
The washing machine has the following fil-
ters to protect the inlet valves:
– in the free end of any water inlet hose,
– in the water inlet valve(s) for connection
hose to machine.
To clean the filter in the inlet hose:
^
Close the stopcock.
^
Carefully unscrew the knurled coupling
connecting the inlet hose to the stopcock.
^
Remove the rubber seal from the recess.
^
Using pointed pliers, take hold of the plas-
tic filter bar, remove the filter and clean.
^
Put the filter and seal back in the reverse
order.
The filters in the inlet hose should be
checked and cleaned approx. every 6
months.
Inspect the inlet hose which is subjected to
high pressure while the machine is in opera-
tion. The hose should be replaced if there
are small cracks in the surface, or if it has
been otherwise damaged.
If replacing the inlet hose only use a hose
able to withstand pressure up to 70 bar.
Miele’s own hoses meet this requirement.
