Cleaning and care
Cleaning the water inlet filter
The washing machine has a filter to protect the water inlet valve. The acces‐ sible filter in the union at the open end of the inlet hose should be checked ev‐ ery six months or so, or more often if there are frequent interruptions to the water supply.
First turn off the stopcock.
Unscrew the inlet hose from the stop‐ cock.
Remove the rubber seal 1 from the recess.
Using pointed pliers, take hold of the plastic filter bar 2 and remove it. Clean the plastic filter.
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.
The filter must be put back in place after cleaning.
