and

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.
