Before storing it

Empty it before storage or frost

The manual's storing steps.

1. Empty the tank.
2. Empty the remaining water, and stop at once when it runs out.
3. Switch the main switch off.
4. Clean the machine.
5. Unplug it.
6. When it has cooled, cover it and keep it dry, above 5 °C.

If anything has frozen, the manual says keep the machine at 20 °C or more for at least 20 minutes before switching on. To bring it back after a long stop, go back to first start-up.
