Cleaning the water inlet filters

The washer has two water inlet filters to protect each inlet valve. These filters should be checked and cleaned if nec- essary every 6 months. This may have to be done more frequently with some water supplies.

Cleaning the inlet hose filter

^Turn off the water valve.

^Unscrew the inlet hose from the valve by turning the connector counter- clockwise using a wrench if neces- sary.

^Remove the rubber seal, 1, from the connector.

^Using needle nose pliers, grasp the plastic filter, 2, and pull it out of the hose connector.

^Clean the filter under running water and carefully remove any large parti- cles. Replace the filter and seal and reconnect the hose.

^Slowly turn on the valve and check for leaks.

,Inspect the hose regularly. The hose must be in good condition to withstand high water pressure. The hose should be replaced if there are small cracks in the surface, or if it has been otherwise damaged or cut.

Cleaning the filter in the inlet valve

^Using a wrench, carefully loosen and remove the plastic hose connector on the inlet valve.

^Using needle nose pliers, withdraw the plastic filter by pulling on the bar (see illustration). Rinse under water and return parts.

Both filters must be put back in place after cleaning.
