Cleaning the water intake filters
There is a filter at the end of each water intake
valve at the rear of the machine and also at
the end of each water intake hose where they
are connected to the tap. These filters prevent
foreignsubstancesanddirtinthewatertoenter
thewashingmachine.Filtersshouldbecleaned
as they do get dirty.

cleaning the pump filter
