Maintenance; Cleaning The Water Intake Filter - Miele PG 8130 U Operating Instructions Manual

Cleaning the water intake filter

A filter is incorporated in the screw
connection to protect the water inlet
valve. 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 water filter is available from a Miele
dealer or from Miele Service.
To clean the filter:
 Disconnect the dishwasher from the
power supply.
To do this, turn off the dishwasher
and withdraw the plug.
 Turn off the water supply.
 Unscrew the water inlet valve.
 Take the seal ring out of the screw
connection.
 Withdraw the filter using pointed
pliers and rinse clean under running
water.
 Refit the filter and seal. Make sure it
is fitted correctly.
 Reconnect the water inlet valve to the
water supply. Make sure not to cross-
thread the connection.
 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
inlet valve correctly.
