Remove the tank. Lift the tank release lever upwards as shown by the arrow (Fig. 6). At the same time tilt and remove the

NEVER ll the tank beyond the MAX level. If the tap water is particularly hard (higher than 20°f), use a mixture of

50% tap water and 50% demineralised water.

Put the tank back in, paying attention to match the tank valve with the pin in the appliance seat (Fig. 9). Press the tank all
