MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Water Inlet Filters
If the washer detects that water is not entering the
dispenser, an error message will show on the display.
Inlet valve filter screens can be plugged by hard water
scale, sediment in the water supply, plumbing scale, etc.
IMPORTANT: Use extreme care when removing
and cleaning the filters. If the filters cannot be cleaned
or are damaged, do NOT operate the washer without the
inlet filters. Operating the washer with the filter screens
removed can cause the valves to fail which could result
in flooding and property damage.
1. Turn off both water taps completely. Unscrew the hot
and cold water lines from the back of the washer.
IMPORTANT: Use ONLY the inlet hoses provided with
this laundry product. Aftermarket hoses are not
guaranteed to fit or function correctly. Other hoses may
not tighten correctly and could cause leaks. Subsequent
damage to product or property will not be covered under
the terms of the product warranty.

Carefully remove the filters from the water valves and
soak them in white vinegar or a lime scale remover,
following the manufacturer's instructions. Rinse
thoroughly before reinstalling.
Press the filters back into place and reattach the water
lines.
NOTE: The inlet screens protect the delicate parts of
the fill valve from being damaged by particles that may
get into the valves with the water supply. Operating the
washer with the filters removed could cause a valve to
fail open resulting in flooding and/or property damage.
