Cleaning the water inlet filter
The washing machine has two water
inlet filters to protect the inlet valve:
To clean the filter in the inlet hose:
Close the valve.
Carefully unscrew the inlet hose from
the valve by turning the connector
counterclockwise, using a wrench, if
necessary.
Remove the rubber seal from the
connector.
Using needle nose pliers, grasp the
plastic filter bar and remove the filter.
Clean under running water and care-
fully remove any large particles.
Replace the filter and seal in the
reverse order and reconnect the
hose. Slowly turn on the valve and
check for leaks.
Inspect the inlet hose regularly. The
hose should be replaced if there are
small cracks in the surface, or if it has
been otherwise damaged or pinched.
If a replacement is necessary, use only
a genuine Miele inlet hose, as other
hoses may burst under pressure.
To clean the filter in the inlet valve:
Using a wrench, carefully loosen and
remove the plastic hose connector
on the inlet valve.
Use needle nose pliers to withdraw
the plastic filter by pulling on the bar
(see illustration). Rinse under water
to clean and then replace.
The two filters - one at the pressure
hose/valve connection and one at
the inlet connection to the solenoid
valve - must not be removed.
