							Triple filter system
The triple filter system in the base of the
wash cabinet prevents food from being
redeposited on dishes. It also protects
the circulation pump from damage
caused by foreign objects (e.g. broken
glass, bones, etc.).
,The machine must not be used
without all the filters in place!
Check and clean the filter system every
4-6 months or whenever a foreign
object is trapped. The level of soiling
and time it takes before the filters need
cleaning will vary depending on
household.
The display shows

40 wash cycles (default setting).
The filter check frequency can be
set from 30 to 60 cycles. See

							Cleaning the water inlet filter
A filter is incorporated into the intake
hose attached to the dishwasher’s shut
off valve. If your water is hard or the
pipes contain sediment, this filter may
clog and prevent enough water from
entering the wash cabinet.
,The plastic housing of the water
connection contains electrical
wiring. Do not submerge the
housing in liquid.
Do not cut the intake hose or
submerge it in liquid.
Installing an in-line water filter
If your water contains a large number of
insoluble substances, a filter between
the water valve and the intake hose
connection is recommended. These
filters can be purchased from Miele.
Cleaning the filter
^Turn off the dishwasher and pull the
plug.
^
Turn off the water supply.
^
Unscrew the intake hose.^Carefully remove the rubber seal.
