Cleaning the water intake filter

A filter is incorporated in the intake hose attached to the dishwasher’s shutoff valve. If your water is hard, or the pipes contain sediment; this filter may clog and prevent enough water from entering the wash cabinet. It can be cleaned as follows:

The plastic valve housing on the intake hose contains electrical components and should not be immersed, or run through water.

Cleaning the filter:

Disconnect the dishwasher from electricity (unplug it or “trip” 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 rinse under running water.

^ Return the filter and seal. Make sure they are seated correctly.

^ Screw the intake hose back on the water valve, checking that it is not cross-threaded.

^ Slowly turn on the valve and test for leaks.

Installing an in-line water filter

^ If your water contains a large number of insoluble substances, a filter between the valve and the intake hose connection is recommended. These filters can be purchased from the

Miele Technical Service Department.
