							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
number 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.
^
Turn off 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. Watch out for glass or bone
splinters which could cause injury.
^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 valveband
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.

							Electrical connection U.K.
,All electrical work must be
carried out by a suitably qualified
and competent person, in
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations (BS 7671
in the UK).
Ensure power is not supplied to the
appliance until after installation work
has been carried out.
The appliance is supplied with a mains
cable with moulded plug ready for
connection to a 230-240V mains
supply. Please ensure the connection
data quoted on the data plate match
the household mains supply.
Connection should be made via a
suitable switched socket which is easily
accessible after installation.
For extra safety it is advisable to install
a residual current device (RCD), with a
trip current of 30 mA (in accordance
with DIN VDE 0664, VDE 0100 Section
739).
Do not connect via an extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g.
danger of overheating).Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363
The fuse cover must be refitted when
changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover
is lost, the plug must not be used until a
suitable replacement is obtained. The
colour of the correct replacement cover
is that of the coloured insert in the base
of the plug, or the colour that is
embossed in words on the base of the
plug (as applicable to the design of
plug fitted).
Replacement fuses should be ASTA
approved to BS 1362 and have the
correct rating. Replacement fuses and
fuse covers may be purchased from
your local electrical supplier.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE EARTHED

							Connection to the water supply
,Water in the dishwasher must
not be used as drinking water.
–The dishwasher may be connected
to a cold or hot water supply, max.
60 °C. We would only recommend
connection to a hot water supply if it
is economical, e.g. a solar powered
supply. When connected to a hot
water supply all programme stages
which would otherwise be carried out
with cold water will be carried out
with hot water.
– The inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m long.
A 1.5 metre long flexible metal
extension hose, pressure tested to
14000 kPa/ 140 bar, is available as
an optional accessory if required.
– A stopcock with a 3/4  male thread
must be provided on site.
– This appliance is constructed to
comply with IEC/EN/DIN 61770 //
VDE 0700 Section 600, and may be
connected to a suitable supply
without an extra non-return valve if
national regulations permit.
–
The water pressure (flow pressure at
the take-off point) must be between
30 and 1000 kPa (0.3 and 10 bar).
If the water pressure is too high, a
pressure reducing valve must be
fitted.
!The inlet hose mustnotbe
shortened or damaged in any way
as it contains electrical components
(see illustration).

							Drainage
–The appliance drainage system is
fitted with a non-return valve, which
prevents dirty water from flowing
back into the dishwasher via the
drain hose.
–The dishwasher is supplied with
approx. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose
with an internal diameter of 22 mm.
–The drain hose can be extended
using a connection piece to attach a
further length of hose.
The drainage length must not be
longer than 4 m, and the delivery
head must not exceed 1 m.
– If the hose is to be directly fitted to
the drainage outlet on site, use the
hose clip supplied.
– The hose can be directed to the left
or the right of the appliance.
– The on-site connector for the drain
hose can be adapted to different
widths of hose. If the connector
protrudes too far into the drain hose,
it will need to be shortened.
Otherwise the drain hose may
become blocked.
–
The drain hose must not be
shortened.
–
Make sure that there are no kinks in
the hose, and that it is not squashed
or stretched.Venting the drainage system
If the on-site drain connection is
situated lower than the guide path for
the bottom basket rollers in the open
door the drainage system must be
vented. Otherwise a siphoning effect
during a programme can cause the
appliance to empty itself of water.
To vent it:
^Open the dishwasher door fully.
^Pull the lower spray arm firmly
upwards to remove it.
^
Cut off the top of the vent valve in the
wash cabinet.
