Cleaning the water inlet filters

To avoid blockage of the mesh filters at the water tap or hose after long time use,
we recommend you clean these filters every 6 months, or when the water pressure
decreases noticeably.
Before cleaning the water inlet filters, make sure you have turned off the water
• Mesh filter at the water tap end: Detach the water inlet hose (Fig. 21-1).
Take the mesh filter out of the water inlet valve and clean the filter with a soft brush
(Fig. 21-2). Then assemble the filter back into the valve.
• Mesh filter at the inlet valve: Screw the water supply hose off the inlet valve at the
back of the washing machine, turning anticlockwise (Fig. 21-3). Clean the filter with
a soft brush (Fig. 21-4).
• Reconnect the water supply hose to the water tap on your wall and to the water
inlet valve at the back of the washing machine. For more detailed connection
instructions, please refer to page 11.

Freezing conditions

When temperatures have fallen below zero degrees Celsius and water has frozen in
the water supply hose, proceed as follows:
1. Wrap a hot towel around the water tap and the water supply hose joint.
2. Disconnect the water supply hose and soak it in a tub of hot water of approximately
50°C.
3. Pour about 2-3 litres of hot water (approximately 50°C) into the drum of the
washing machine.
4. When all frozen water has thawed, reconnect the water supply hose, open the tap
and start the machine to check whether all blockages have been removed.
