If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged. It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time. Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet hose. Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush. Tighten up the inlet hose.
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.
