Stadler Form Jack Manual De Instrucciones página 11

• See to it that the appliance is properly positioned to ensure a high stabil-
ity during its operation and make sure that no one can trip over the power
cord.
• The appliance is not splash-proof.
• For indoor use only.
• Do not store the appliance outdoors.
• Store the appliance in a dry place inaccessible to children (pack the ap-
pliance).
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer
or a repair shop authorized by the manufacturer or by similarly qualified
persons in order to prevent damage.
Before setup: Anticalc cartridge and water hardness
The anticalc cartridge reduces the limescale in the water and the undesir-
able emission of limescale particles into the surroundings. Effective for one
to three months, depending on water hardness (see table).
Important: Soak the anticalc cartridge in a water bath for 24 hours before
the first use (not in the water tank!). The resin has to absorb water to reach
high performance.
The period of time that the cartridge is effective for depends on the hard-
ness of the water. This can be tested using the testing strips provided (strips
are stuck to the reverse side of these instructions for use).
1. Dip the testing strips into the water for a second.
2. After around one minute, the results can be seen on the testing strips.
Some of the green boxes change colour into pink. The water hardness
is shown by how many boxes turn pink.Example: If three boxes are pink,
then the water hardness is > 14°dH.

4 Very hard
With a water hardness above 21 °dH, we can no longer recommend the use
of an ultrasonic air humidifier. We recommend that you use an evaporative
humidifier to increase humidity in your house (e.g. Oskar humidifier made
by Stadler Form).
The unit only works properly with untreated water. Do not use where there
are water softeners and water ionisers in operation. However, Jack may
be operated from a drinking water filter system (e.g. Brita). Should you be
unsure about the quality or composition of the water in your area, contact
the caretaker or the provider of drinking water.
