5.4 Cleaning the water intake filters

There is a filter at the end of each water intake valve
at the rear of the machine and also at the end of each
water intake hose where they are connected to the
tap. These filters prevent foreign substances and dirt
in the water to enter the washing machine. Filters
should be cleaned as they do get dirty.

access the filters on the water intake valves. Clean
them with an appropriate brush. If the filters are
too dirty, take them out by means of pliers and
clean them.
3. Take out the filters on the flat ends of the water
intake hoses together with the gaskets and clean
thoroughly under running water.
4. Replace the gaskets and filters carefully in their
places and tighten the hose nuts by hand.
