Cleaning the water inlet filters
The machine has two filters to protect
the water inlet valve. These filters
should be checked every six months or
so, or more often if there are frequent
interruptions to the external water
supply.
To clean the filter in the inlet hose:
^
First turn off the stopcock.
^
Unscrew the threaded union
connecting the free end of the inlet
hose to the stopcock.
^
Remove the rubber seal 1 from the
recess.
^
Using pointed pliers, take hold of the
plastic filter bar
2 and remove.
^
Clean the plastic filter.
^
Put the filter and seal back in the
reverse order and reconnect the
hose.
Turn on the stopcock and check the
connection is watertight. If water
drips out, tighten the connection.
To clean the filter in the water inlet
valve:
^
Using pliers, carefully loosen the
ribbed plastic nut on the inlet valve
and unscrew.
^
Use pointed nose pliers to withdraw
the plastic filter by the bar (see
illustration). Clean, put back and
secure.
The two filters must be put back in
place after cleaning.
