CARE AND CLEANING
CleaningtheWaterInletFilters
If the washer does not ll properly, an error message will
show on the display. The inlet valve lter screens could
be plugged by hard water scale, sediment in the water
supply, or other debris.
NOTE: The inlet screens protect the delicate parts of the
inlet valve from being damaged by particles that could
enter the valves with the water supply. Operating the
washer with these lters removed could cause a valve to
fail to open, resulting in ooding and/or
property damage.
1. Turn OFF both water faucets completely. Unscrew the
hot and cold water lines from the back of the washer.
IMPORTANT: ONLY use the inlet hoses provided with
this laundry product. Aftermarket hoses are not
guaranteed to t or function correctly. Other hoses may
not tighten correctly and could cause leaks. Subsequent
damage to product or property will not be covered under
the terms of the product warranty.
Carefully remove the lters from the water valves
and soak them in white vinegar or a lime scale
remover, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Be
careful not to damage the lters while cleaning.
Rinse thoroughly before reinstalling. Press the lters
back into place.
Before reattaching the hoses, ush the hoses and
water lines by running several gallons of water
through the hoses and into a bucket or drain.
