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.
Cleaning the filter in the union in the
open end of the inlet hose
First turn off the tap.
Unscrew the inlet hose from the tap.
Remove the rubber seal
1
from the
recess.
Using pointed pliers, take hold of the
plastic filter bar
2
and remove it.
Clean the filter and the seal.
Put the filter and seal back in the
reverse order and reconnect the
hose.
Cleaning the filter in the water inlet
valve
Using pliers, carefully loosen the
ribbed plastic nut (seal) on the inlet
valve and unscrew.
Use pointed nose pliers to withdraw
the plastic filter by the bar (see
illustration).
Clean the filter and the plastic nut
(seal).
Put the filter and plastic nut (seal)
back in the reverse order and
reconnect the hose.
After cleaning the filters, turn on the
tap and check the connections are
watertight. If water drips out, tighten
the connections.
The two filters
must
be put back in
place after cleaning.
