Maintenance

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 tap and the
water inlet hose threaded union. This
filter is available from Miele.

Cleaning the filter

 Disconnect the dishwasher from the
mains. (Switch the dishwasher off,
unplug it, or disconnect or disable the
fuse).
 Turn off the tap.
 Unscrew the inlet hose.
62
 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.
 Refit the filter and seal. Make sure it
is fitted correctly.
 Reconnect the inlet valve to the tap.
Ensure that the union goes on
straight and is not cross-threaded.
 Turn on the tap.
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 inlet hose
correctly before tightening it.
