Trouble shooting list

If water leaks from the machine, turn off the water supply tap or stopcock immediately and isolate
the machine from the electrical supply by removing the plug from the wall socket.
Check that all seals, seams and connections are watertight.
There is always a certain risk of leakages in any machine connected to a water supply, no matter what water safety
features it may have. Therefore it is advisable always to turn off the water supply tap when the machine is not in use.
