Cleaning the filters in the water inlet
Filters are incorporated into the water inlet connection on the hose to
protect the water inlet valve. If these filters get dirty they must be
cleaned as otherwise too little water will flow into the wash cabinet.
The plastic housing on the water inlet valve contains an
electrical component. It must not be dipped in water.
To clean the filter
Disconnect the dishwasher from the water supply and the electrical
supply (turn the dishwasher off, unplug it or disconnect or disable
the fuse).
Close the faucet.
Unscrew the water inlet valve.
Carefully pull out the large surface area filter 1.
Take the seal ring out of the screw connection.
Withdraw fine filter 2 using pointed pliers.
Clean the filters or replace them with new ones if necessary.
Replace the filters and seals, making sure they are sitting correctly.
Reconnect the hose to the water faucet, making sure the thread
goes on straight and not cross-threaded.
Turn on the water faucet gradually to test for leaks.
If there is a leak, the inlet hose might not be secured properly, or it
may have been screwed on at an angle. Unscrew and reconnect the
water inlet hose correctly before tightening it.
