Cleaning the water inlet filters
The washer has two water inlet filters to
protect each inlet valve. These filters
should be checked and cleaned if nec-
essary every 6 months. This may have
to be done more frequently with some
water supplies.
Cleaning the inlet hose filter
^
Turn off the water valve.
^
Unscrew the inlet hose from the valve
by turning the connector counter-
clockwise using a wrench if neces-
sary.
^
Remove the rubber seal,
1
, from the
connector.
^
Using needle nose pliers, grasp the
plastic filter,
2
, and pull it out of the
hose connector.
^
Clean the filter under running water
and carefully remove any large parti-
cles. Replace the filter and seal and
reconnect the hose.
^
Slowly turn on the valve and check
for leaks.
,
Inspect the hose regularly. The
hose must be in good condition to
withstand high water pressure. The
hose should be replaced if there are
small cracks in the surface, or if it
has been otherwise damaged or cut.
Cleaning the filter in the inlet
valve
^
Using a wrench, carefully loosen and
remove the plastic hose connector on
the inlet valve.
^
Using needle nose pliers, withdraw
the plastic filter by pulling on the bar
(see illustration). Rinse under water
and return parts.
Both filters
must
be put back in
place after cleaning.
