Cleaning the water inlet filter

A filter is incorporated in the screw
connection 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.
Recommendation
If the mains water contains a large
number of insoluble substances, we
recommend fitting a large-area filter in
the connection between the stopcock
and the water inlet hose threaded
union.
This filter is available from your Miele
dealer or the Miele Spare Parts
Department.
Cleaning the filter:
^ Disconnect the dishwasher from the
mains supply (switch off at the mains
socket, pull out the plug, switch off
the appropriate circuit at the fuse box
or withdraw the mains fuse).
^ Close the stopcock.
^ Unscrew the inlet hose.
54
^ Carefully remove the seal.
^ Withdraw the filter using pointed
pliers and rinse clean under running
water.
^ Replace the filter and seal, making
sure they are sitting correctly.
^ Reconnect the inlet hose to the
stopcock, making sure it goes on
correctly and is not cross-threaded.
^ Turn on the stopcock gradually to test
for leaks. If there is a leak, the inlet
hose might not be on securely, or it
may have been screwed on at an
angle. Unscrew and reconnect it to
the water inlet valve correctly.
