5. Replace the debris filter cap.

6. Replace the filter cover.

CLEANING THE WATER HOSE MESH FILTER

You should clean the water hose mesh filter at least once a year, or when the error message of “4E” is displayed:

1.Turn off the water supply to the washing machine.

2.Unscrew the hose from the back of the washing machine. To prevent water from gushing out due to the air pressure in the hose, cover the hose with a cloth.

3.Gently pull out the mesh filter from the end of the hose using a pair of pliers and rinse it under water until clean. Also clean inside and outside the threaded connector.

4.Push the filter back into place.

5.Screw the hose back onto the washing machine.

6.Make sure the connections are watertight and turn on the tap.
