Cleaning and care
Cleaning the filters in the water
inlet
The machine has the following filters to
protect the inlet valves:
– in the free end of any water inlet hose
– in the water inlet valve(s) for connect-
ing the hose(s) to the machine.
To clean the filter in the inlet hose:
^ Turn off the stopcock.
^ Carefully unscrew the knurled cou-
pling connecting the inlet hose to the
check valve which is attached to the
stopcock (see "Plumbing").
^ Remove the rubber seal from the re-
cess.
^ Using pointed pliers, take hold of the
plastic filter bar, remove the filter and
clean.
^ Put the filter and seal back in the re-
verse order and reconnect the hose
to the check valve. Turn on the stop-
cock and check the connection is
watertight.

The filters in the inlet hose should be
checked and cleaned approx. every 6
months.
Inspect the inlet hose as it is subjected
to high pressure while the machine is in
operation. The hose should be re-
placed if there is any sign of damage
such as stress cracks in the surface.
If replacing the inlet hose only use a
hose tested to withstand a pressure of
at least 70 bar. Miele original hoses are
tested to this standard.
To clean the filter in the water inlet
valve:
^ Using pliers, carefully loosen the
ribbed plastic nut on the inlet valve,
and unscrew.
^ Using pointed pliers withdraw the
plastic filter by the bar (see illustra-
tion).
^ Clean the plastic filter.
^ Put back in the reverse order.
Both filters - one in the pressure
hose union and one in the water inlet
valve must always be replaced after
being cleaned.
