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

under running water.

4. Replace the gaskets and filters carefully in their places

andtightenthehosenutsbyhand.

5.5 Draining remaining water and

cleaning the pump filter

The filter system in your machine prevents solid items

suchasbuttons,coinsandfabricfiberscloggingthepump
