Possible solutions:

Check if the water supply pressure is below 0.05Mpa.
Check water supply--filter may be restricted.
Check for a water leak at the water trough.

If the issue persists or if you require further advice--or if the instructions don't seem to apply--you'll have to consult the company; use the contact information at https://www.contacthelp.com/edgestar/customer-service.
