How to do it
- Confirm the exact washer, accepted manual and fitted inlet arrangement. The selected Miele editions describe checks about every six months, more often after frequent water-supply interruptions.
- Arrange qualified service to isolate electricity and water, inspect the inlet-hose and inlet-valve filters, and clean them using the exact model procedure when necessary.
- Have service refit both filters, seals and connections, restore the supply and check for leaks. Never operate without the required filters or move stacked equipment using this appointment guide.
- Record the completed inspection. Follow the accepted manual and any earlier service advice; this does not invent a recurring filter-replacement or supply-hose replacement interval.
Stop and get help when
- Leakage or visible damage
- Overheating or unusual odor
Use a qualified appliance service professional. Do not dismantle equipment.
