Cleaning and care

Cleaning the water inlet filters

The water inlet valves are protected by two filter screens. They need to be checked approx. every 6 months. If there are frequent interruptions to the water network, they may need to be checked more frequently.

￿Close the tap and unscrew the threaded union that connects the free end of the inlet hose to the stopcock.

￿Remove the rubber seal 1 from the recess.

￿Use flat pliers to grasp the plastic filter piece 2, then remove the filter.

￿Clean the filter. Reverse the instructions to re-insert the filter and seal.
