I Have Uneven Fill Levels

clogged. Run warm water with your cleaning solution several times through the machine. If that
does not solve the problem, please contact us to evaluate further actions.
One Or More Spouts Are Dripping
After not using the machine for a while, you might have a spout that keeps dripping after the

and stopping the flow. Simply run your fill cycle a couple of times, preferably with water or your

4 Troubleshooting
Please note that the XF460/260 is a volumetric ller, not a level ller. You might encounter dierent
ll lines in your bottles due to dierences in your bottles. Your bottle might have the same
weight, but have slight variances in wall thickness, neck size, punt, etc. is often translates to
slightly dierent ll heights.
