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 the Miele Spares Parts dept.

Cleaning the filter:

^Disconnect the dishwasher from the mains supply. Switch off at the mains socket and withdraw the plug.

^Turn off the stopcock.

^Unscrew the inlet hose.

^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 the water inlet valve correctly.
