Cleaning the water intake filter
A filter is incorporated in the intake
hose attached to the dishwasher’s shut-
off 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 in-
take hose contains electrical com-
ponents and should not be im-
mersed, 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 be-
tween the valve and the intake hose
connection is recommended. These
filters can be purchased from the
Miele Technical Service Department.
