The service manual when downloaded and printed out was clear and easy to read. The manual is complete with the schematic diagram and technical data. I occasionally require a manual and now having registered with this company I shall order from them in the future.
Hello from Germany - thank you very much for the manual for my Sharp "Searcher" - the handling of your internet area is outstanding..Mike

Unscrew the filter completely turning it anticlockwise. Remove the filter and clean it under a fast running tap. Replace the filter turning now clockwise and tighten it. Attention Never remove the unloading filter while the washing machine is operating. Wait, always, till the washing program is over and there is NO WATER IN THE BARREL. When you replace the unloading filter in its place, make sure that it is correctly positioned and tight, in order to avoid water leakage or that children may take it off.

The water inlet hose filter
If it takes longer to fill up the washing machine it is time to check the water inlet hose filter it may be clogged. Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the fixing nut of the inlet hose. Remove the filter from the electrovalve and clean it with a hard bristle brush and replace it. Screw on the nut thoroughfully.
