Cleaning and care

Cleaning the water inlet filters

The washer has two water inlet filters to protect each inlet valve. These filters should be checked and cleaned if necessary every 6 months. This may need to be done more frequently with some water supplies.

^ Turn off the water supply.

^ Unscrew the inlet hose from the valve

 

 

 

by turning the connector counter-

 

 

 

clockwise using 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 then

 

 

reconnect the hose.

 

^ Slowly turn on the valve and check

 

 

for leaks. If water leaks, tighten the

 

 

bolt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Both filters must be put back in

 

 

 

place after cleaning.
