Cleaning and care
Cleaning the water intake filter.
The water valve housing on the inlet hose contains electrical compo- nents and should not be immersed, or run through water.
A filter is incorporated in the intake hose that is attached to the dishwa- sher’s main shutoff valve. If your water supply is hard, or the pipes contain sediment; this filter may clog and pre- vent sufficient water from entering the wash cabinet. It can be cleaned as fol- lows:
Cleaning the filter.
Disconnect the dishwasher from the electrical supply (unplug it or shut off the circuit breaker).
Turn off the main shutoff valve and unscrew the intake hose.
Carefully remove the rubber seal.
Remove the filter using needle nose pliers and clean it by rinsing under running water.
Replace the filter and seal. Make sure they are seated correctly.
Screw the intake hose back onto the water valve, making certain it is not
Slowly turn on the valve and test for leaks.
Installing an in-line water filter.
If your water supply contains a large number of insoluble substances, we recommend installing a filter between the valve and the intake hose connec- tion. These filters can be obtained from the Miele Parts Department.
