IWARNING!
fAny use contrary to the intended use, e.g., if the filter system is fed with water that is not of
drinking water quality, results in a health hazard when the water is drunk:
- Microbiological hazard due to contamination with pathogenic germs
- Hazard from too high a concentration of heavy metals or organic contamination
fTo protect the drinking water, maintenance and any other work on the filter system has to be
carried out considering national directives for drinking water installations (e.g. DIN 1988,
EN1717) and applicable state and local regulations.
fIf the authorities or the operator of the water supply system release instructions to boil the potable
water due to microbial contamination it is necessary to boil the filtered water before consumption.
If the drinking water quality is restored the filter system must be replaced and connections
cleaned.
fTwo type-tested non-return valves (in accordance with DIN EN 13959) are included in the filter
head. Large kitchen appliances may require a higher level of protection against backflow due to
their contamination potential (e.g. cleaning chemicals). If such appliances are connected down-
stream of the filter system, the appropriate safety devices must be integrated into the large kitch-
en appliance.
fSeparate the filter system from the water supply prior to maintenance work on the drinking water
supply. Rinse the water line before reconnecting the filter system.
fDisconnect the power supply of the appliance prior to installation.
ICAUTION!
fObserve all national directives for drinking water installations (e.g. DIN 1988, EN 1717) and
applicable state and local regulations, general sanitary requirements and technical data for the
protection of drinking water.
fA check (shut-off) valve upstream of the filter system must be installed.
fUse only connections with gaskets or flat seals. Conical seals damage the filter head connections
and will invalidate the warranty claim.
fThe appliance needs to be connected with hoses in accordance with DVGW W 543 or
NSF42/53.
fIf the product has been stored below freezing point (0°C), leave the unpacked product at the
ambient temperature of the installation location for a minimum of 24 hours prior to operation.
fDo not install the filter system near heat sources, open fire places or naked flames.
fChemicals, solvents and vapours must not come into contact with the filter system.
fUnauthorised alterations to the filter system and technical modifications are not permitted.
fThe installation location must be protected against freezing and direct sunlight.
NOTE!*
fFor installation and operation of the filter system, the BG regulation “Rules for Safety and Health
Protection When Working in Kitchens” of the “Food and Beverages” expert committee of BGZ
(BGR111) must be observed. The filter system has been hygiene tested in accordance with
Section7.4 DIN 18879-1.
fThe materials are selected in accordance with the requirements of DIN 18879-1 and EN 14898.
fThe pressure resistance of the filter system conforms to DIN 18879-1.
fThe filtered drinking water conforms to liquid category 2 in accordance with EN 1717.
fClean and descale the appliance, e.g. coffee machine, before initial installation of the filter
system.
fFor immunocompromised people and infants it is recommended to boil the tap water before
drinking. This also applies to filtered water.
fFor the protection against microbiological growth the filter cartridge contains a small amount of
silver (“bacteriostatic”)*. There might be a harmless release of silver in concentrations below the
recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO). The term “bacteriostatic” indicates
that the system limits the passage or growth of bacteria already existing in the incoming water*.
It does not mean that the water leaving the system is safer to drink than the water entering it.
