Cleaning the filter in the water
inlet
The washing machine has a filter to
protect the water inlet valve.
The accessible filter in the union in the
open end of the inlet hose should be
checked every six months, or more
often if there are frequent interruptions
to the external water supply.
^
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.
Never
forget to put the filter back in
place after cleaning.
