Cleaning the water inlet filter

A filter is incorporated in the screw con- nection 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 un- ion. This filter is available from the Miele Spares Dept.

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).

^Turn off the stopcock.

^Unscrew the inlet hose.

^Carefully remove the rubber seal.

^Withdraw the filter using pointed pli- ers and rinse clean under running water.

^Replace the filter and seal, making sure they are sitting correctly.

^Reconnect the inlet hose to the stop- cock, making sure it goes on cor- rectly 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 an- gle. Unscrew and reconnect the wa- ter inlet valve correctly.
