Cleaning the water inlet filters

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the water inlet filters.

The washing machine has two water in- let filters to protect each inlet valve.

To clean the filter in the inlet hose:

^Turn off the valve.

^Carefully unscrew the inlet hose from the valve by turning the connector counterclockwise using a wrench if necessary.

^Remove the rubber seal from the connector.

^Using needle nose pliers, grasp the plastic filter and pull it out of the hose connector. Clean the filter under run- ning water and carefully remove any large particles.

^Replace the filter and seal and recon- nect the hose. Slowly turn on the valve and check for leaks.

Inspect the inlet hose regularly. The hose should be replaced if there are small cracks in the surface, or if it has been otherwise damaged or cut.

If a replacement is necessary, use only a genuine Miele inlet hose as other hoses may burst under pressure.

To clean 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, withdraw the plastic filter by pulling on the bar (see illustration). Rinse under water to clean, and then replace.

The two filters - one at the pressure hose/valve connection and one at the inlet connection to the solenoid valve - must not be removed.
