7. CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
7.1. Warning
Turn your mains power
supply off and remove
the plug from the socket
before carrying out
maintenance and cleaning
of your machine.
Turn off the water
supply before starting
maintenance and cleaning
of your machine.
CAUTION: Do not
use solvents, abrasive
cleaners, glass cleaners
or all-purpose cleaning
agents to clean your
Washing Machine. They
may damage the plastic
surfaces and other
components with the
chemicals they contain.
7.2. Water Inlet Filters
Water inlet filters prevent dirt and foreign
materials from entering your machine. We
recommend that these filters are cleaned
when your machine is unable to receive
sufficient water, although your water supply
is on and the tap is open. We recommend
that you clean your water inlet filters every
2 months.
• Unscrew the water inlet hose(s) from
the Washing Machine.
• To remove the water inlet filter from the
water inlet valve, use a pair of long-
nosed pliers to gently pull on the plastic
bar in the filter.
• A second water inlet filter is located in
the tap end of the water inlet hose. To
remove the second water inlet filter, use
a pair of long-nosed pliers to gently pull
on the plastic bar in the filter.
• Clean the filter thoroughly with a soft
brush and wash with soapy water and
rinse thoroughly. Re-insert the filter by
gently pushing it back into place.
CAUTION:
The filters at the water inlet
valve may become clogged due to water
quality or lack of required maintenance and
may break down. This may cause a water
leak. Any such breakdowns are out of the
scope of the warranty.
