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
necessry 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 he connector
counterclockwise using a wrench if
necessary.
^
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
particles. Replace the filter and seal
and reconnect the hose.
^
Slowly turn on the valve and check
for leaks. If water leaks, tighten the
bolt.
,
Inspect the hose regularly. The
hose must be in good condition to
withstand high water pressure. The
hose should be replaced if there are
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, remove the
plastic filter (see illustration). Rinse

Both filters must be put back in
place after cleaning.
