Cleaning the Appliance
Periodically
Cleaning the Water Inlet
Filter
WARNING
• The filters at the water inlet valve may
become clogged due to water quality
or lack of required maintenance and
may break down. This may cause a
water leak. Any such breakdowns are
out of the scope of the warranty.
The water inlet filter collects lime or any
sediment that may be in water that is
supplied to the appliance. Clean the inlet
filter every 2 months or so, or more
often if the water is very hard or
contains traces of limescale.
• Turn off the water supply taps to the
appliance if the appliance is to be left
for a certain period of time (e.g.
holiday), especially if there is no floor
drain (gully) in the immediate vicinity.
MAINTENANCE
1 Turn off the power and the water tap
and then unscrew the water inlet
hose.
• To remove the water inlet filter from
the water inlet valve, use a pair of
longnosed pliers to gently pull on
the plastic bar in the filter.
• A second water inlet filter is located
in the tap end of the water inlet
hose. To remove the second water
inlet filter, use a pair of long-nosed
pliers to gently pull on the plastic
bar in the filter.
2 Clean the filter thoroughly with a soft
brush and wash with soapy water and
rinse thoroughly.
3 Re-insert the filter by gently pushing
it back into place.
Cleaning the Drain Pump
Filter
The drain filter collects threads and
small objects that may have been
accidentally left in the clothes. Make
sure that the filter is clean every 2
months to ensure smooth running of
your appliance.
Allow the water to cool before cleaning
the drain pump filter.
