What Intake
actually means.
Miele links Intake to a partly closed faucet, a blocked inlet filter, a connection pressure under 7.25 psi, or a drain connection set too low. A closed faucet alone can show the separate message Open water supply.

What to do when Intake shows on the commercial applianceKind of codeWater, fill and drain
Water is not arriving, not reaching its level, not heating or not leaving on time. A dish machine may be short of fill because a supply valve is half closed or its line strainer is clogged, it may drain slowly through a scrap basket full of debris, or its booster may be too scaled to heat the rinse; a combi's steam generator may be scaled or its water treatment exhausted; a washer-extractor may time out on a slow drain. Opening the supply valve, cleaning strainers with the unit off and checking the drain line are fair; a pump, a fill valve, a heater or a leak near wiring is a visit.

Undercounter, door-type and conveyor dish machines: tank heaters, boosters, wash pumps, fill and drain valves.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Miele Professional's own guidance for Intake on its commercial appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Turn the machine off, then open the water-supply faucet all the way and start the program again.
Clean the water-inlet filter as described under Cleaning and care.
If Intake keeps returning, have the water pressure and the drain connection height checked, and book a visit.
What not to do
Intake is a supply problem, not the technical F18 that shares the same section of the manual. It is also not a drainage message, which reads Drain.

A booking with a code goes further when it has the code as shown, the model and serial from the data plate, and a word on whether the unit still holds temperature, heats, rinses or spins. With those three, the office can match the likely part to your unit the same day.
