Dear customer!
The DELIMER COMFORT is a water softening device (ion exchange) for decalcifying tap
water without cartridge replacement. The DELIMER COMFORT removes calcium from the
water and thus prevents lime-scale deposits that can cause damage to the appliance . Even
existing lime-scale deposits are gradually reduced.
Any other use or usage beyond this scope is considered unintended use. The manufacturer
shall not be responsible for any damages that may result thereby. Prior to installation of the
device operating instructions and especially the safety instructions must be read and
followed by all personnel who use this device.
After having unpacked the device, please check carefully whether transportation damages of
any kind have occurred. If that is the case, the carrier or manufacturer must be notified within
3 days. The company will not be responsible for any damages found after that.
These operating instructions must be read and followed by all personnel who use this device.
To ensure quick access we recommend to keep it at a safe place near the device. In case of
loss it can be ordered from the manufacturer.

Installation
The electrical equipment is ready for immediate use. The sealed plug can be connected
directly to the mains supply 230 V/16 A. For installation please refer to safety notes in
chapter 2.
Installation
Connect the delivered water inlet hose to the water connector for the supply line (5) and
attach the other end to a tap with ¾” external thread.
Connect the inlet hose of the connecting device (REITEL steam cleaner TRONADA) to
the hose connector (7).
Attach a hose to the drain hose connector (6) and lead the other end of the hose to a
suitable drainage port.
Filling with regeneration salt
When using the appliance for the first time, or when the regeneration salt indicator (10) lights
up in red, regeneration salt needs refilling. Prior to refilling, empty water from the DELIMER
COMFORT’s tank to prevent an overflow (if necessary, use a dry cloth to wipe away surplus
water in the bowl).
The filling quantity with empty container is approx. 1 kg.
Caution: Use only special salt for regeneration appliances (for example, dishwasher
regeneration salt). Other regenerating agents will destroy the ion exchanger.
Open the lid (3).
Fill in special salt (when filling up for the first time, add water) until the regeneration
salt indicator light (10) goes off.
Close the lid (3).
Operation
Start-up
