Miele W 2240 Washer/Dryer User Manual


 
Cleaning the water inlet filters
The washing machine has two filters to
protect the inlet valves.
These filters should be checked every
six months or so, or more often if there
are frequent interruptions 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
connecting 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 it.
^
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 it leaks,
tighten the connection.
To clean the filter in the water inlet
valve
^
Using pliers, carefully loosen the
ribbed plastic nut on the inlet valve
and unscrew.
^ Use pointed nose pliers to withdraw
the plastic filter by the bar (see
illustration). Clean, put back and
secure.
The two filters must be put back in
place after cleaning.
