Cleaning and Care
The washing machine has two inlet filters to
protect the inlet valve:
To clean the filter in the inlet hose:
Close the stopcock.
Carefully unscrew the knurled coup-
ling connecting the inlet hose to the
stopcock anti-clockwise, using pliers
if necessary.
Remove the rubber seal from the re-
cess.
Using pointed pliers, take hold of the
plastic filter bar and remove the filter.
Clean under running water and care-
fully remove any grit particles.
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 and put back.
The two filters - one in the pressure
hose union and one in the inlet con-
nection to the solenoid valve - must
not be removed.
