Miele W980WPS Washer User Manual


 
Cleaning the filter in the water
inlet
The washing machine has a filter to pro-
tect the water inlet valve.
The accessible filter in the union in the
open end of the inlet hose should be
checked every six months, or more
often if there are frequent interruptions
to the external water supply.
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 1 from the
recess.
Using pointed pliers, take hold of the
plastic filter bar 2, 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. If water drips
out, tighten the connection.
Never forget to put the filter back in
place after cleaning it.
