Solving problems

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 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 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.
