Cleaning the water inlet filter
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.
Refit the inlet hose. Clean carefully under a fast running tap.
