Cleaning and Care
Cleaning the inlet hose filter
The washer has two water inlet filters to protect each inlet valve. Check and clean these filters every 6 months. This may have to be done more frequently with some water supplies.
Cleaning the inlet hose filters
Turn off the water supply.
Unscrew the inlet hose from the valve by turning the connector counterclockwise, use a wrench if necessary.
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 particles.
Replace the filter and seal and reconnect the hose.
Slowly turn on the water supply and check for leaks. If water leaks, tighten the hose connection.
Cleaning the filter in the inlet valve
Using pliers carefully loosen and remove the plastic hose connector from the inlet valve.
Using needle nose pliers, remove the plastic filter by pulling on the bar (see illustration). Rinse under running water and return. Replace the filter and seal, then reconnect the hose.
Both filters must be put back in place after cleaning.
