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 Pause / Start
button.
3. When finished, unplug the washing machine. 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 tap and turn the tap back on, checking for leaks.
Before cleaning the drain filter, switch off and unplug the washing machine.
