Cleaning the water intake
A filter is incorporated in the screw con-
nection of the water intake valve. The
filter must be cleaned when dirty, other-
wise insufficient water flows into the
wash cabinet.
The plastic housing of the water
connection contains an electrical
component.
The housing must not be dipped in
water.
Recommendation
If the water supply contains a large
amount of insoluble substances, we
recommend fitting a large-area filter in
the connection between the faucet and
the water intake hose threaded union.
This filter is available from a Miele
dealer or Miele Service.
To clean the filter:
Disconnect the dishwasher from the
electrical supply.
Switch off at the mains socket and
withdraw the plug.
Turn off the water supply.
Unscrew the water intake valve.
Take the seal ring out of the screw
connection.
Withdraw the filter using pointed pli-
ers and rinse clean under running wa-
ter.
Replace the filter and washer, making
sure they are sitting correctly.
Reconnect the water intake valve to
the faucet, making sure it goes on
correctly and is not cross-threaded.
Turn on the water supply.
If water leaks out, the screw connection
may not be connected securely or it
may have been screwed on at an angle.
Unscrew and reconnect the water in-
take valve correctly.
