To clean the filter:

Cleaning the water intake filter

A filter is incorporated in the screw connection of the water intake
valve. The filter must be cleaned when dirty; otherwise, insufficient
water will flow 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 your water supply contains a large number of insoluble substances,
we recommend fitting a large-area filter in the connection between
the water supply valve and the water intake hose threaded union.
This filter can be purchased from your Miele dealer or from Miele
Service.




correctly.

on correctly and is not cross-threaded.


If water leaks out, the screw connection may not be connected
securely or it may have been screwed on at an angle.
