Water inlet filter

If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill,
check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not
blocked.
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the hose from the tap.
Clean the filter with a stiff brush.
Screw the hose back onto the tap.

Emergency emptying out

If the water is unable to drain, proceed as follows to
empty out the machine:
• pull out the plug from the power socket;
• close the water tap;
• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;
• Place a bowl on the floor under the filter and place
the end of the emergency emptying hose into the
bowl. The water should drain by gravity into the
bowl. When the bowl is full, screw the cap on
again. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until
water stops flowing out.
• Clean the filter if necessary.
• At the end screw the filter again.
The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below
0°C, certain precautions should be taken.
• Turn off the water tap.
• Unscrew the inlet hose.
• Place the end of the inlet hose and that of the
emergency emptying hose in a bowl placed on the
floor and let the water drain out.
• Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the
emergency emptying hose back in its place after
having screwed the cap on again.
When you intend to start the machine up again,
make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.
