If you forsee/expect to keep the machine in
environments where there is danger of ice/frost or if
you don't use it for more than 3 months, we suggest to
get the machine to intake an antifreeze before putting
it away (similar to that used for cars).

operation. Up to 10 drops a minute are acceptable;
in case of larger leaks contact an Authorised Service
