Cleaning The Filter In The Water Inlet - Miele G 307 Operating Instructions Manual

Cleaning and care
Cleaning the filter in the water
inlet
A filter is incorporated in the screw con-
nection 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. It must not be dipped
in water.
Fitting an in-line water filter
If the mains water contains a large num-
ber of insoluble substances, we recom-
mend fitting a large area filter in the
connection between the stopcock and
the water inlet hose threaded union.
These filters can be obtained from the
Miele Spares Department (Part No.:
75577).
Cleaning and care
To clean the filter
Disconnect the appliance from the
mains supply (switch off at the main
socket and pull out the plug, switch
off the appropriate circuit at the fuse-
box or withdraw the mains fuse).
Turn off the stopcock and unscrew
the inlet hose.
Carefully remove the rubber seal.
Withdraw the filter using pointed
pliers and clean by rinsing under run-
ning water.
Replace filter and seal. Make sure
they are sitting correctly!
Screw back into place on the water
inlet, taking care that it goes back on
straight.
Turn on the stopcock gradually to
test for leaks.
If there is a leak:
Screw the connections on more
tightly.
