Cleaning the water inlet filter
A filter is incorporated in the screw con‐
n
ection of the valve on the water inlet
hose. The filter must be cleaned when
dirty, otherwise insufficient water flows
into the wash cabinet.
T
he plastic housing of the water
connection contains an electrical
component.
The housing must not be dipped in
water.
Recommendation
If the mains water contains a large
number of insoluble substances, we
r
ecommend fitting a large-area filter in
the connection between the stopcock
and the water inlet hose threaded un‐
ion.
This filter is available from Miele.
Cleaning the filter:
Discon
nect the dishwasher from the
mains supply.
Switch off at the mains socket and
withdraw the plug.
Close
the stopcock.
Unscr
ew the inlet hose.
C
arefully remove the seal.
W
ithdraw the filter using pointed pli‐
ers and rinse clean under running
water.
Replace
the filter and seal, making
sure they are sitting correctly.
Reco
nnect the inlet hose to the stop‐
cock, making sure it goes on correct‐
ly and is not cross-threaded.
Open the st
opcock.
If water leaks out, the inlet hose may
not be conne
cted securely or it may
have been screwed on at an angle.
Unsc
rew and reconnect the water in‐
let valve correctly.
