MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Water inlet Filters
If the washer does not fill properly, an error message will
show on the display. The inlet valve filter screens coutd
be plugged by hard water scale, sediment in the water
supply, or other debris.
NOTE: The inlet screens protect the delicate parts of the
inlet valve from being damaged by particles that could
enter the valves with the water supply. Operating the
washer with these filters removed could cause a valve to
fail to open, resulting in flooding and/or
property damage.
Turn OFF both water faucets completely. Unscrew the
hot and cold water lines from the back of the washer.

Inlet Filter
Carefully remove the filters from the water valves
and soak them in white vinegar or a time scale
remover, following the manufacturer's instructions. Be
careful not to damage the filters while cleaning.
Rinse thoroughly before reinstalling. Press the filters
back into place.
Before reattaching the hoses, flush the hoses and
water lines by running several gallons of water
through the hoses and into a bucket or drain.
