Step 7
Check function valve
- The function valve is easy to see on the left. If it shows signs of limescale on the outside, it is probably leaking. First check whether it is only the top connection does not seal well.
- Pull out the metal clip on the top connector.
- Now carefully lift out the upper connection piece. Check the O-ring, replace it if possible.
- The hose is attached with an Oetiker clamp. It must be destroyed to be removed. Replace it later with a suitable hose clip. Shorten the tube about 1 cm.
- Reassemble the valve and check that it is now tight. (Caution, the cables are exposed). If it is not then it will have to be repalced.
