Cleaning the filter in the water
inlet
(First turn off the stopcock).
The washing machine has two inlet fil-
ters to protect the inlet valves.
– in the open end of the inlet hose.
– in the inlet connection between the
hose and the machine, only to be
cleaned by a Service engineer.
The filter in the inlet hose should be
cleaned about every six months, or
after an interruption to the external
water supply.
To clean the filter in the inlet
hose:
Turn off the valve.
Carefully unscrew the inlet hose from
the valve by turning the connector
counterclockwise using a wrench if
necessary.
Remove the rubber seal from the
connector.
Using needle nose pliers, grasp the
plastic filter and pull it out of the
hose connector. Clean the filter
under running water and carefully
remove any large particles.
Replace the filter and seal and recon-
nect the hose. Slowly turn on the
valve and check for leaks.
