Cleaning the filters in the water
inlet
Filters are incorporated in the screw
connection of the water inlet hose to
protect the water inlet valve. If these
filters get dirty they need to be cleaned,
otherwise insufficient water flows into
the wash cabinet.
,
The plastic housing of the water
connection contains an electrical
component. It must not be dipped in
water.
To clean the filters
^ Disconnect the machine from the
mains supply (switch off at the mains
and pull out the plug, switch off the
appropriate circuit in the fuse box or
withdraw the mains fuse).
^ Turn off the stopcock and unscrew
the water inlet hose.
^
Clean the large area filter (1) and fine
filter (2), and replace with new filters
if necessary.
^
Replace filters and the seal. Make
sure they are sitting correctly.
^
Reconnect the hose to the water inlet,
making sure that it goes back on
straight.
^
Open the stopcock carefully.
If there is a leak, screw the
connections on more tightly.
Cleaning the control panel
^
This should only be cleaned with a
damp cloth or a suitable cleaner for
use on plastic materials, or with a
disinfectant tested and recognised
as suitable for this use.
,
Do not use abrasive cleaners,
glass cleaners or all-purpose
cleaners!
Because of their chemical
composition they could cause
serious damage to plastic
components.
Cleaning the front of the
machine
^
Clean using a proprietary cleaning
agent designed for the type of front
the machine is fitted with.
,
Do not use cleaning agents
containing ammonia or thinners.
