Miele W 970 Operating Instructions Manual page 37

Once the flow of water ceases,
remove the fluff filter completely.
Clean the fluff filter thoroughly.
Remove any foreign objects (e.g.
buttons, coins, etc.) and fluff.
Turn the impeller by hand to check
that it is free to rotate. Any foreign ob-
jects causing an obstruction should
be removed.
Cleaning and care
Clean the inside of the fluff filter hous-
ing.
Remove any deposits of lime scale and
detergent or foreign objects from the
thread of the filter housing and filter unit
(as these objects can cause a leakage
of water). Deposits of lime scale are
often a sign of underdosage of powder.
Put the fluff filter back in place and
secure.
Make sure the fluff filter is securely
tightened. Otherwise there is a risk
of water leakage during use.
After cleaning
Pour approx. 2 litres of water into the
detergent dispenser compartment
j to reactivate the ball valve which
keeps detergent in circulation in the
suds.
