5. 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.
6. Emergency emptying out
If the machine 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.
