Cleaning the water inlet filter
The washing machine has 2 filters to
protect the inlet valve. Check these fil-
ters every 6 months or so. Perform this
check more often if there are frequent
interruptions to the external water sup-
ply.

First turn off the stopcock.
Unscrew the inlet hose from the stop-
cock.
Remove the rubber seal

from the
recess.
Using pointed pliers, take hold of the
plastic filter slat

and remove the
plastic filter.
Clean the filter.
Reassemble in reverse order.
Cleaning the filter in the inlet valve
Using pliers, carefully loosen the
ribbed plastic nut on the inlet valve
and unscrew it.
Use pointed pliers to withdraw the
plastic filter by the slat.
Clean the filter.
Reassemble in reverse order.
The two filters must be put back in
place after cleaning.
Screw the screw connection securely
back onto the stopcock.
Open the stopcock.
Make sure there is no water leaking
from the threaded union.
Tighten the threaded union.
