Instruction Manual

Cleaning the filter
Warning
When the appliance is in use and
depending on the programme
selected there can be hot water in the
filler. Never remove the filter during a
wash cycle, always wait until the
appliance has finished the cycle, and
is empty. When replacing the filter,
ensure it is securely retightened. This
will prevent leaks and also stop
young children being able to remove
the filter.
The water inlet filters
If your water is very hard or contains
traces of lime deposit, the water inlet
filters may become clogged.
It is therefore a good idea to clean
them from time to time.
Turn off the water taps. Unscrew the
water inlet hoses.
Replace the filters and tighten up the
inlet hoses.

The appliance has two inlet valves,
hot and cold, with female 3/4” BSP

If only a cold water supply is
available, connect the two hoses to a
cold water outlet by means of a «Y»
connection piece.

water authority and building
regulations’ requirements.
The appliance must be given a

the appliance.
If you cannot make the cold water

the appliance from your cold water
storage system.
