Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Miele's own guidance for F10 on its washers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Cancel the program, open the faucet fully and start again.
Turn the faucet off, unscrew the hose at the faucet and clean the small plastic filter inside it.
Check that at least 5 liters flow from the fully open faucet in 15 seconds.
Book a visit if the hose is damaged or F10 continues.
