Cleaning the water intake filters
Filters are incorporated into the water inlet connection on the hose to
protect the water inlet valve. If these filters get dirty they must be
cleaned as otherwise too little water will flow into the wash cabinet.
The plastic housing on the water inlet valve contains an
electrical component. It must not be dipped in water.
Cleaning the
filters
Disconnect the machine from the mains (switch the machine off,
unplug it or disconnect or disable the fuse).
Close the stopcock.
Unscrew the inlet hose.
Carefully pull the large surface area filter 1 out.
Carefully remove the seal from the threaded union.
Withdraw the fine filter 2 using pointed pliers.
Clean the filters or replace them with new ones if necessary.
Replace the filters and seals, making sure they are sitting correctly.
Reconnect the hose to the stopcock, making sure the union goes
on straight and not cross-threaded.
Turn on the stopcock gradually to test for leaks. If there is a leak,
the inlet hose might not be on securely, or it may have been
screwed on at an angle. Unscrew and reconnect the water inlet
hose correctly before tightening it.
IMPORTANT
UK, Australia and New Zealand
For the UK, Australia and New Zealand a non-return check valve is
required between the tap and filter.
