Fill a water container with 2 liters of water.

Place the plastic tube as shown in the picture.

Suck in the tube until it completely fills with water.
•
Without allowing the water to escape, hold closed with your fingers the water outlet of the tube to
avoid any air entrance. Keeping closed the tube, place the outlet of the tube downwards, as indicated in
the drawing, and let the water through. Wait until the reservoir is completely drained.
•
Once the water container is empty, fill it again with non salted water and repeat the process in order to
clean the water softener filter from salt remains. Then, reinstall the water softener filter back in the
machine.
