Cleaning the water inlet filters

The washing machine has two filters to protect the inlet valves.

These filters should be checked every six months or so, or more often if there are frequent interruptions to the water supply.

To clean the filter in the union in the open end of the inlet hose:

￿First turn off the stopcock.

￿Unscrew the threaded union connecting 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 it.

￿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.

To clean the filter in the water inlet valve:

￿Using pliers, carefully loosen the ribbed plastic nut on the inlet valve and unscrew.

￿Use pointed nose pliers to withdraw the plastic filter by the bar (see illustration). Clean, put back and secure.

The two filters must be put back in place after cleaning.
