Safety information
Carefully read the user instructions, which contain directions, advice and warnings, before installing and starting to use the water purifier. It will then work in a correct manner and provide the greatest benefit. Everybody using the water purifier should be familiar with how to operate it and its safety features.
The user manual should be kept and stay with the water purifier if it is ever moved or changes owners, the user of the appliance should be able to read about the various functions and safety instructions.
Installation
●Check that the water you want to purify meets the requirements specified in «Technical facts».
●The water purifier must be connected to an earthed electrical supply. As some operations require the power supply to be temporarily interrupted, it is best to connect using a plug that is also easily accessible after installation. Permanent wiring to the electrical supply may only be carried out by a qualified electrician and the installation should be performed with a safety switch. Incorrect installation can result in personal injury and/or damage to property which are not covered by any warranty.
●Plumbing work should be performed by a qualified plumber. If you do the installation yourself, be sure to follow applicable local plumbing and sanitary codes.
●It is important for the water purifier to be installed upright on a horizontal surface and that hoses and cables do not get stretched or jammed when moving the purifier, e.g. during installation and cleaning.
●If the feed water is classed as unfit, have the purified water checked after installation. After this, test the purified water once a year or if there is any change in the taste or odour, to check that the water purifier is working well. Do not drink the water if the results are unsatisfactory. Contact your dealer.
●When the water purifier is new, the purified water may not be drunk until the flushing procedure has been completed.
Child safety
●Do not let children play with the water purifier.
●Never leave packaging material lying around so that children can play with it.
Use
●The water purifier is intended to produce the quantity of water that is normally required for cooking and drinking in a household. The purifier may only provide one water supply point with water. It must not be connected to existing pipes, tanks, dishwashers or similar. There is a risk of corrosion in water pipes and water-heaters. For the same reason, no other faucet for pure water may be used than the one included or recommended by your dealer.
●Purified water may only be drunk if the light on the faucet glows green when the water is produced.
It can take up to 120 seconds before the water purifier indicates good water quality.
●The water purifier must be connected to water and electricity in order for the automatic flushing system to work. It flushes automatically after water has been purified and when the plug is connected. If purified water is produced for more than 10 minutes, the water purifier will automatically stop and flush and then switch to standby mode.
●The top of the water purifier may not be used to place items on.
●Do not use the purified water in aluminium vessels. There is a risk of corrosion of the vessel and a higher concentration of aluminium in the purified water.
●Do not change or modify the water purifier in any way. This can result in personal injury and/or damage to property which is not covered by any warranty.
●If the water purifier is to be disconnected from water and electricity for an extended period (1 week), it should be stored as described in «Storage». This also provides protection against freezing down to -30 °C.
●The water purifier may not be used without a filter (except during cleaning and storage). It could be seriously damaged.
●If the water purifier contains preserving agents or detergents, it must be flushed in accordance with «Flushing» before the purified water may be used.
●Once a month, check that the connections are watertight. Leaks outside the appliance cannot be detected by the internal safety system. If leakage occurs, immediately switch off the water supply and break the current to the appliance by pulling the plug out of the wall socket or unscrewing the fuse in the electrical distribution board.
●If the mains plug has been damaged in some way, it must be replaced by a qualified person to avoid damage or injury.
