Cleaning the water inlet filter
The washing 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 water
supply.
First turn off the faucet.
Unscrew the inlet hose from the
faucet in a clockwise direction using
a screwdriver (if necessary).
Remove the rubber seal
1
from the
connector.
Using needle nose pliers, take hold of
the plastic filter bar
2
and remove it.
Rinse the filter under running water
carefully remove all coarse particles.
Put the filter and seal back into place.
Leaking can occur if the screw
connections are not tightened.
After cleaning, turn on the water
supply and make sure the screw
connections are watertight. If water
leaks, tighten the screw connections.
Dirt particles in the water can
damage the washing machine.
The filters
must
be put back in place
after cleaning.
