Cleaning the water inlet filter
A filter is incorporated in the screw
connection 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. It must not be dipped in
water.
Recommendation
If the mains water contains a large
amount of insoluble substances, we
recommend fitting a large-area filter in
the connection between the tap and the
water inlet hose threaded union. This
filter is available from the Miele Spares
Parts Department.
Cleaning the filter:
^
Disconnect the dishwasher from the
mains supply. Switch off at the mains
socket and withdraw the plug.
^
Close the tap.
^
Unscrew the inlet hose.
^
Carefully remove the seal.
^
Withdraw the filter using pointed
pliers and rinse clean under running
water.
^
Replace the filter and seal, making
sure they are sitting correctly.
^
Reconnect the inlet hose to the tap,
making sure it goes on correctly and
is not cross-threaded.
^
Turn on the tap gradually to test for
leaks. If there is a leak, the inlet hose
might not be on securely, or it may
have been screwed on at an angle.
Unscrew and reconnect the water
inlet valve correctly.
