a essories. Che k the in luded a essories.
The devi e has to stand horizontally on a steady and even surfa e.
Install the devi e in a pla e where it will not blo k the working area and the
fun tionality (take the dimensions into a ount).
Do not install the unit outdoors or in pla es without proper ventilation.
Before start-up, be sure the devi e rea hes room temperature.
It is very important to have the unit onne ted rigidly to a drainage system as very
hot water (about 95°C) is involved. It will also fa ilitate emptying the unit ompletely
for leaning, for example.
6.3 Storage
The unit lo ation is very important when it omes to workpla e safety, even if it is only to
be set up there for a short period. The room should be dry, well ventilated and vibration-
free. An even temperature and wooden supports also help. The unit should not be stored
or set up outdoors. If the unit is to be stored for an extended period, prote t it from
moisture and dust.

7 Installation/ Start-up
Before starting the unit, onne t up the following:
•Use lips to atta h the drain hose supplied firmly to the unit and arrange a
suitable drainage system.
Finally, insert the power plug into the so ket, making sure that the mains and the unit
operate on the same voltage.
•Insert the filter white side down.
•Fill the unit with water (about 20 litres) at least up to the white plasti ring in the
ontainer.
•Turn on the main swit h (green ro ker swit h).
•The unit immediately heats up to its default setting (65°C), or to the last stored
s alding temperature.
•When the desired temperature has been rea hed, the yellow LED (9) goes out and
the unit is ready for operation.
The Wapo-Ex has a dry-run prote tion devi e to prevent the heater burning out
due to a la k of water (red LED). A warning signal also sounds while the program
is running.
Make sure that the water level is always above the white plasti ring (in the
ontainer), otherwise the heater will ut out automati ally and the red LED will
flash.
If the unit is not to be used for an extended period, pull out the power plug.
