Troubleshooting
7. Warning: Calibration water HE/boiler
- Check water valves via diagnosis.
- Check if station or drain valves are leaking.
- Change calibration time to a moment when action can be observed (see 4).

- Check milk valve via diagnosis.
- Check milk pump.
- Check if station or drain valves are leaking.
