Cleaning the water inlet filters
The water inlet valves are protected by
two filter screens. They need to be
checked approx. every 6 months. If
there are frequent interruptions to the
water network, they may need to be
checked more frequently.
Cleaning the filter in union of the
inlet hose
^ Close the tap and unscrew the
threaded union that connects the free
end of the inlet hose to the stopcock.
^ Remove the rubber seal 1 from the
recess.
^ Use flat pliers to grasp the plastic
filter piece 2, then remove the filter.
^ Clean the filter. Reverse the
instructions to re-insert the filter and
seal.
To clean the filter in the water inlet
valve
^ Use adjustable pliers to carefully
loosen the ribbed plastic nut on the
inlet valve and unscrew.
^ Use flat pliers to pull the filter out by
the fin, and clean it. Reverse the
instructions to re-insert and secure
the parts.
Both filters MUST be re-inserted
after cleaning.
