4. It may take a moment, but if your water sensor is working normally the "no water" alarm message should disappear from the display screen and the machine will act as if the full reservoir is installed.

5. Take care not to allow a machine with empty boilers to heat, remove the damp cloth from the water sensor as soon as you've verified that the sensor works.
