Cleaning The Water Inlet Filters; Cleaning The Inlet Hose Filter; Cleaning The Filter In The Inlet Valve - Miele W1203 Operating And Installation Instructions

Cleaning the water inlet filters

The washer has two water inlet filters to
protect each inlet valve. These filters
should be checked every 6 months and
cleaned, if necessary. (This may need
to be performed more frequently with
some water supplies).

Cleaning the inlet hose filter

^ Turn off the water valve.
^ Unscrew the inlet hose from the valve
by turning the connector
counterclockwise using a wrench if
necessary.
^ Remove the rubber seal, 1, from the
connector.
^ Using needle nose pliers, grasp the
plastic filter, 2, and pull it out of the
hose connector.
^ Clean the filter under running water
and carefully remove any large
particles. Replace the filter, seal and
reconnect the hose.
^ Slowly turn on the valve and check
for leaks.
Cleaning and Care
,
Inspect the hose regularly. The
hose must be in good condition to
withstand high water pressure. The
hose should be replaced if there are
cracks in the surface, or if it has
been otherwise damaged or cut.
Cleaning the filter in the inlet
valve
^ Using a wrench, carefully loosen and
remove the plastic hose connector on
the inlet valve.
^ Using needle nose pliers, remove the
plastic filter (see illustration). Rinse
under water and return parts.
Both filters must be put back in
place after cleaning.
