Open the faucet. Cancel the program, turn on the faucet and restart.
Clean the inlet filter. Turn off the faucet, unscrew the hose, remove the rubber seal, and tip out and clean the plastic filter. Refit it and check for drips.
Remove kinks. Straighten the inlet hose. Replace it if it's damaged.
Check pressure. With the faucet fully open, you should get at least 5 L in 15 seconds. If not, call a plumber.
