Cleaning the water inlet filter
To avoid blockage of the mesh filters at the water tap or hose after long time use, we
recommend you clean these filters every 6 months, or more often if there are frequent
interruptions to the water supply.
Other Useful Information (Cont.)
CAUTION!
Before cleaning the water inlet filter, make sure you have turned off the water supply
at the tap.
• Use pointed nose pliers to withdraw the plastic
filter from the water inlet valve at the back of
the washing machine (Fig. 19).
• Clean the filter with a soft brush, then assemble
the cleaned filter back into the valve.
• Reconnect the water supply hose to the water
tap on your wall and to the water inlet valve at
the back of the washing machine. For more
detailed connection instructions, please refer to
page 14.
Freezing conditions
If the washing machine is exposed to temperatures below 0 °C, you should take
certain precautions to prevent water freezing in the pipes.
1. Turn off the water tap.
2. Unscrew the water inlet hose.
3. Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and position the end of this hose and
that of the inlet hose in a bowl. Run the spin program.
4. Disconnect the appliance.
5. Reconnect the inlet hose and reposition the drain hose.
6. When you intend to start the machine up again, make sure that the room
temperature is above 0 °C.
If the temperature drop was unexpected and water has frozen in the water supply
hose, proceed as follows:
1. Wrap a hot towel around the water tap and the water supply hose joint.
2. Disconnect the water supply hose and soak it in a tub of hot water of approximately
50 °C.
3. Pour about 2–3 litres of hot water (approximately 50 °C) into the drum of the
washing machine.
4. When all frozen water has thawed, reconnect the water supply hose, open the tap
and start the machine to check whether all blockages have been removed.
