In order to maintain warranty place the Tempstrip on the device to document that the device
was not used with too hot water.
If the Tempstrip was not placed by the manufacturer:
There is the possibility of acquiring a Tempstrip for a particular device from the manufacturer
free of charge.

General instructions
1. The relevant installation and operation instructions contained in this manual must be read
prior to the installation and operation of this device.
2. The manufacturer will not bear responsibility in case of improper use and incorrect operation of the device.
3. The system is used only for removing unwanted mineral substances, which accumulate as
scale. It is a part of the system protection.
4. No changes in the system may be conducted without consultation with the manufacturer.
The manufacturer will not bear responsibility in case of any damage caused by this type of
modification.
5. The temperature in the device operating room must be at least 7˚C.
6. Before commencing installation, check the statics of walls, ceilings and floors. They must
enable certain static load.
7. The general regulations and provisions as well as provisions concerning accident pre-
vention must be observed at the installation location of the device.
8. The installation location of the device must be secured from any damage caused by water
(e.g. by the existing floor drain). The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage
caused by water.
9. The proper name and serial number of the device must be provided with any enquiries
and ordering of spare parts. Only then an effective and quick reply or order implementation is ensured.
Transportation and packaging
Prior to shipment our systems are carefully packed and controlled.
Damage during transportation cannot be excluded in case of shipment by a shipping
company. It is necessary therefore to check the package at receipt of the product.
• Check the completeness of the delivery based on the delivery receipt.
• In case of damaged packaging: perform a visual inspection of the goods and record
conclusions in the shipping documentation provided by the shipping company. In the
shipping documentation place an annotation of possible claiming of hidden damages,
which may be revealed after start-up. Immediately contact the shipping company be-
cause otherwise the shipping insurance will not be available. Save the package for the
purpose of any later inspections by the shipping or insurance company.
• In case of returning the package, it must be packed in a way to protected against any
mechanical impact.
• Drain water from the system prior to the shipment. This will help reduce shipping costs.
It will also prevent the packaging from damage due to potential water leakage.

Water treatment
Faster washing and saving costs
Scale in the devices, spots on dishes or cutlery and smudges on glass are usually due to
improper water quality. Salt leaves smudges or causes scale formation.
Apart from an increased amount of time it will also increase the costs of:
• equipment repair
• device maintenance
• staff
• additional consumption
Our device for water treatment makes descaling unnecessary; it also uses less washing liquid and rinse. The system protection ensures the durability of the device, fewer failures and
repairs.
Scale formation protection
Scale deposition Calcium and magnesium salts deposit in devices or on surfaces
primarily in heated water. Formed scale formation hinders performance of a device or instrumentation and leaves undesirable residue.
Increased consumption
reduced
Water softening
System protection
The consequences of scale deposition are: increased consumption
of washing detergents or energy as well as the use of chemicals
and the related negative consequences for the environment. That is
why water treatment in households is recommended, in particular
where a large amount of hot water is used for cleaning.
Softened water protects and reduces machine breakdowns, ensures longer maintenance cycles and saves the costs of servicing,
material, repair and washing detergent. This solution becomes a
part of the system protection. The device does not allow achieving
an optimal effect of washing dishes without spots and smudges on
glass. For this reason apply the product GAHOtech clean.
