Care and Maintenance
Before beginning any care or maintenance, you should always
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, and also
turn off the water supply.
If a programme has been run recently, wait for the water in the
appliance to cool down to prevent risk of scalding.
Water inlet filters
There are filters on the tap side of the water inlet hose and at the
ends of the water inlet valves. These filters prevent ingress of dirt
or foreign objects into the machine through the water supply.
These filters should be cleaned approximately once a year to
ensure there is no interruption in the water supply to the machine.
•
Remove the water inlet hose.
•
Remove the filters on the water inlet valves using pliers.
•
Remove the filters on the tap side of the water inlet hose
manually, as well as the seal.
•
Clean the filters thoroughly using a brush.
•
Replace the filters carefully, locating them the same way
round as they were previously.
