Cleaning the filter in the water
inlet
The washing machine has a filter to
protect the water inlet valve.
The accessible filter in the union in the
open end of the inlet hose should be
checked every six months, or more of-
ten if there are frequent interruptions to
the external water supply.
^
First turn off the stopcock.
^
Unscrew the threaded union connect-
ing the free end of the inlet hose to
the stopcock.
^
Remove the rubber seal
1
from the
recess.
^
Using pointed pliers, take hold of the
plastic filter bar
2
, remove the filter
and clean.
^
Put the filter and seal back in the re-
verse order and reconnect the hose.
Turn on the stopcock and check the
connection is watertight. If water drips
out, tighten the connection.
Never
forget to put the filter back in
place after cleaning it.
