Inlet/drain indicator light is flashing on and off

Open the stopcock.

Clean the inlet filter:

Switch the dishwasher off.

Disconnect the dishwasher mains plug.

Close the stopcock.

Unscrew the water intake valve.

Remove the seal from the screw connection.

Using combination or pointed pliers, take hold of the plastic filter bar and remove the plastic filter.

Rinse the plastic filter under running water.

Re-insert the plastic filter and the seal into the screw connection of the water intake valve. Ensure that the plastic filter and the seal are seated correctly.

Remove any kinks or loops from the water inlet hose.

Keep an eye on these points for a while afterwards, as the plastic may weaken and the material may tear.

In the event of any damage, the water inlet hose must be replaced.

If this is necessary, contact the Miele Customer Service Department.

Contact the facility manager or a plumber.

Clean the filter combination as follows:

• Switch the dishwasher off.

• 

• Turn the handle backwards to release the filter combination (1).

• Remove the filter combination (2).

• Remove any coarse soiling.

• Rinse the filter thoroughly under running water.

• Use a soft cleaning brush to remove soiling.

• Ensure that coarse particles do not get into the circulation system and cause a blockage there.

• To clean the insides of the filter, the flap must be opened:

  • 

  • Press the recessed grips together in the direction of the arrows (1).

  • Open the filter flap (2).

• Rinse all the parts under running water.

• Then close the flap so that the catch engages.

• 

• Refit the filter combination so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet.

• Then turn the handle forwards until both arrows point towards each other. This will lock the filter combination in place.

A foreign object (such as a cherry stone or a small shard of glass) could be blocking the drain pump and the non-return valve.

Clean the drain pump and the non-return valve as follows:

• Switch the dishwasher off.

• Disconnect the mains plug.

• Remove the filter combination from the wash cabinet (see above).

• Scoop the water out of the wash cabinet using a small container.

• 

• Press the catch for the non-return valve inwards (1).

• Pull the non-return valve up and out (2).

• Rinse the non-return valve 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).

• Risk of injury from glass splinters.

  It is especially difficult to see glass splinters in the drain pump.

• Remove any foreign objects from the drain pump. Check the drain pump impeller by manually turning it. You will feel a little resistance when you turn the impeller.

• Carefully replace the non-return valve.

Remove any kinks or loops from the drain hose.

Keep an eye on these points for a while afterwards, as the plastic may weaken and the material may tear.

In the event of any damage, the water inlet hose must be replaced.

If this is necessary, contact the Miele Customer Service Department.

Check the drain hose for blockages. Try to remove the blockage.

Make sure that the drain hose can move freely and is not too taut.

If the fault persists, please contact Miele Customer Service or book a repair appointment online.

Close the stopcock and disconnect the dishwasher from the mains (the drain pump will not stop running until this is done).

You can remove the crockery from the dishwasher as normal.
