Cleaning the water inlet filter
The washing machine has a filter to
protect the water inlet valve. This filter
should be checked every six months or
so, or more often if there are frequent
interruptions to the water supply.
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.
Turn on the tap and check the
connection is watertight. If water
drips out, tighten the connection.
Never
forget to put the filter back in
place after cleaning.
