Clean the water intake filters
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 immersed in water.
To clean the filter
Disconnect the machine from the mains (switch the machine off,
unplug it or disconnect or disable the breaker).
Turn off the tap.
Unscrew the water inlet valve.
Carefully pull the large surface area filter 1 out.
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 tap, making sure the union goes
on straight and not cross-threaded.
Turn the tap back on. If the connection leaks it might be too loose
or cross-threaded. Unscrew and reconnect the water inlet valve
correctly before tightening it.
