To clean the water inlet filters

The washing machine has two filters to

protect the inlet valves. These filters

should be checked every 6 months or

so, or more often if there are frequent in-

terruptions to the water supply.

To clean the filter in the union in the

open end of the inlet hose:

First turn off the stopcock.

Unscrew the threaded union con-

necting the free end of the inlet hose

to the stopcock.

Remove the rubber seal from the re-

cess.

Using pointed pliers, take hold of the

plastic filter bar, remove the filter and

clean.

Put the filter and seal back in the

reverse order and reconnect the

hose. Turn on the stopcock and

check the connection is watertight.

Inspect the inlet hose which is sub-

jected to high pressure while the ma-

chine is in operation. The hose should

be replaced if there are small cracks in

the surface, or if it has been otherwise

damaged.

If replacing the inlet hose only use a

hose able to withstand pressure up to

70 bar. Miele’s own hoses meet this re-

quirement.

To clean the filter in the water inlet

valve:

Using pliers, carefully loosen the

ribbed plastic nut on the inlet valve,

and unscrew.

Use water pump pliers to withdraw

the plastic filter by the bar (see illus-

tration). Clean, put back and secure.

The two filters must be put back in

place after cleaning.
