							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
amount 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 Parts dept.
Cleaning the filter:
^Disconnect the dishwasher from the
mains supply. Switch off at the mains
socket and withdraw the plug.
^
Close the stopcock.
^
Unscrew the inlet hose.^Carefully remove the 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.

							Cleaning the drain pump and
non-return valve
If the water has not been pumped away
at the end of a programme the drain
pump or the non-return valve might be
blocked. They are, however, easy to
clean.
^Disconnect the dishwasher from the
mains supply. Switch off at the mains
socket and withdraw the plug.
^Take the filter combination out of the
wash cabinet (see Cleaning and
care - Cleaning the filters in the wash
cabinet).
^Scoop the water out of the cabinet
using a suitable container or utensil.
^
Press the catch for the non-return
valve inwardsa.
^
Lift out the non-return valveb, and
rinse well under running water.
^
Remove all foreign objects from the
non-return valve.The drain pump is situated under the
non-return valve (see arrow).
^Remove all foreign objects from the
drain pump (watch out for glass or
bone splinters which are particularly
difficult to detect and could cause
injury). Turn the drain pump impeller
by hand to check that there are no
more obstructions. You will feel a little
resistance when you turn the
impeller.
^
Carefully replace the non-return valve
and secure it with the catch.
,Ensure that the catch engages
correctly.
