Cleaning the water intake filters
Filters are incorporated into the water inlet connection on the hose to
protect the water inlet valve. If these filters get dirty they must be
cleaned as otherwise too little water will flow into the wash cabinet.
The plastic housing on the water inlet valve contains an
electrical component. It must not be dipped in water.
To clean the filter
Disconnect the cleaning machine from the mains (switch the
cleaning machine off, unplug it or disconnect or disable the fuse).
Close the stopcock.
Unscrew the water inlet valve.
Remove the seal from the screw thread.
Pull the filter out using combination or pointed pliers.
Clean the filter or replace it if necessary.
Replace the filter and seal, making sure they are sitting correctly.
Screw the water inlet valve onto the stopcock. Ensure that the
screw thread goes on straight and not cross-threaded.
Open the stopcock. If water leaks out, the screw thread may not be
connected securely or it may have been screwed on at an angle. Fit
the water inlet valve straight and screw it in place.
Retrofitting the
large-surface
filter
If the water contains a high level of insoluble components, a large-
surface filter can be installed between the stopcock and the water
inlet hose.
The large-surface filter is available from the Miele Customer Service
Department.
IMPORTANT
UK, Australia and New Zealand
For the UK, Australia and New Zealand a non-return check valve is
required between the tap and filter.
