Cleaning the water inlet filter
The washing machine has two filters to
protect the inlet valve. You should
inspect the filters approximately every
six months, or more often if there are
frequent interruptions to the external
water supply.
Cleaning the filter in the inlet hose
 First turn off the faucet.
 Unscrew the inlet hose from the
faucet.
 Remove the rubber seal 1 from the
connector.
 Using needle nose pliers, take hold of
the plastic filter bar 2 and remove it.
 Clean the filter.
 Reassemble the appliance in reverse
order.
Cleaning the filter in the inlet valve
 Using pliers, carefully loosen the
ribbed plastic nut on the inlet valve
and unscrew.
 Use needle nose pliers to withdraw
the filter by the bar.
 Clean the filter.
 Reassemble the appliance in reverse
order.
After cleaning, turn the faucet slowly
and make sure the screw
connections are watertight. If water
leaks, tighten the screw connections.
The filters must be put back in place
after cleaning.
