This equipment is not intended for use by persons (including children) with limited physi-
cal, sensory or mental abilities or for persons with no experience or knowledge unless they

Notice: These devices produce magnetic fields which might cause electronic and
20 cm
mechanical disturbances or damages. This also refers to pacemakers. Please
consult the manuals of medical equipment for the required safety margins.
Attention: Maintenance work presents the risk of crushing the fingers due to high magne-
tic forces.
For your own safety, we recommend to form a drip loop with the connec-
tion cable to prevent any water running along the cable from intruding
into the socket. When using a multiple socket or an external power supply unit,
position them atop the filter's power connection.
Since a wide variety of varnishes and polishes are used when processing
timer, the appliance feet can leave visible traces on furniture or parquet
floors as a result of chemical reactions. Therefore the device should not be pla-
ced on unprotected wooden surfaces.
To achieve optimal operational safety there must be a maximum of 100 cm
between the surface of the water and the bottom of the filter. Attention:
Filter must always be operated in an upright position only.
Take the necessary precautions when handling components that can dis-
charge static electricity.
Do not clean the unit – or parts of it – in the dishwater. Not dishwater resistant!
Do not dispose of this product as normal household waste. Take it to your local refuse col-
lection side.
The product is qualified in accordance with the respective
national regulations and guidelines and meets EC standards.
