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 end
of the water inlet valve. 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 filter on the water inlet valve using pliers.
•
Remove the filter on the tap end of the water inlet hose manually, as
well as the seal. Clean these.
•
Clean the filters thoroughly using a brush.
•
Replace the filters and seals carefully, in the same way as they were
removed.
