Preventing a Frozen Water Supply Hose
If your washing machine is delivered in freezing weather conditions, leave it
at room temperature for 24 hours after you’ve set it up before using it. This
ensures there’s no ice blocking the water supply hose. If your water supply
hose freezes, add 2 or 3 litres of warm water to the drum. Then run a “Drain”
only programme.
Cleaning the Filter Net of the Water Supply Hose
1. Turn the water supply off at the tap.
2. Close the washing machine door and select “Drain” programme and press the
Start / Pause button.
3. When finished, turn the power off. Remove the water supply hose from the tap.
4. Manually remove the filter net located on the tap side of the water supply hose and clean using a small
brush (e.g. a toothbrush).
5. Return the filter net to its original position.
6. Re-connect the water supply hose to the washing machine and turn the tap back on, checking for
leaks.
Cleaning the Drain Filter
Be careful not to burn yourself as water in the pump may be hot after a high temperature wash.
Before cleaning the drain filter, first start the spin programme, then switch off and unplug the washing
machine.
1. Open the Service Flap by pulling the handle. Place a suitable container under the service flap to catch
the water.
2. Carefully loosen the drain filter. Turn anti-clockwise until the water gently begins to run out, this is
normal.
3. Remove the filter once the water has stopped.
4. Remove any lint and debris before carefully replacing the filter.
