However, in certain circumstances some condensation may collect in the water tank at the bottom of the
chassis. When this tank is full, the “water full” indicator (
) will illuminate (red) and the appliance will stop
running. The appliance should then be unplugged from the supply socket and the rubber plug in drain port at
the lower rear
of the machine should be pulled out to drain the water into a suitable container. Alternatively,
move the appliance to a suitable place to drain the water.
Note: When the water full light
(
