Cleaning and care

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 rubber seal a from the re- cess.

^Using pointed pliers, take hold of the plastic filter bar, remove the filter b 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.
