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.
The housing must not be dipped in
water.

Recommendation

If the mains water contains a large
number of insoluble substances, we
recommend fitting a large-area filter in
the connection between the stopcock
and the water inlet hose threaded
union. This filter is available from Miele.

Cleaning the filters:

 Disconnect the dishwasher from the
mains (switch the dishwasher off,
unplug it or disconnect or disable the
fuse).
 Close the stopcock.
 Unscrew the inlet hose.
 Carefully remove the seal from the
threaded union.
 Withdraw the filter using pointed
pliers and rinse clean under running
water.
 Take care when withdrawing the filter
not to pull out or dislodge the flow
regulator located underneath the
filter.
 Replace the filter and seal, making
sure they are sitting correctly.
 Reconnect the inlet hose to the
stopcock, making sure it goes on
correctly and is not cross-threaded.
 Turn on the stopcock 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 hose correctly before tightening
it.
