Cleaning the filter in the water inlet
The 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 often if there are frequent interruptions to the external water supply.
First turn off the stopcock and then unscrew the threaded union connecting the free end of the inlet hose to the stopcock.
Remove the rubber seal 1 from the recess.
Hold the free end of the inlet hose upside down. The plastic filter 2 will fall out.
Clean the plastic filter.
Put the filter and seal back in the reverse order and reconnect the hose.
Turn on the stopcock and check the connection is watertight. If it leaks, tighten the connection.
Never forget to put the filter back in place after cleaning.
