improves flavour of bevarages by removing substances responsible for taste and odor (eg.
chlorine).
filters particles* out of the water.
Any other use is deemed to be non-intended.
3.2 Design and function of the filter system
1 Pre-filtration: Removal of particles
2 Active carbon filtration: Substances responsible for taste and odor (e.g. chlorine) are removed.
3 Ultrafiltration: retention of 99.9999% of bacteria and microplastics as well as retention of dyes
(i.e. humic acid)
NOTE!
f The bypass setting of the filter head does not influence the correct function of the filter
cartridge.
4 Operating and safety instructions
Despite complying with all safety precautions, risks remain especially in case of misuse or
inappropriate handling. Each technical device is to be maintained and serviced regularly to func-
tion properly.

WARNING!
f Any 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
f To protect the drinking water, maintanance and any other work on the filter system has to be
carried out considering national directives for drinking water installations (e.g. DIN 1988, EN
1717) and applicable state and local regulations.
f If the authorities or the operator of the water supply system release instructions to boil the
potable water due to microbial contamination it is necesary to boil the filtered water before
consumption. If the drinking water quality is restored the filter system must be replaced and
connections cleaned.
f Two type-tested non-return valves (in accordance with DIN EN 13959) are included in the
filter head.
f Separate 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.
f Disconnect the power supply of the appliance prior to installation.
f The sum of the iron and manganese content of the input water should be less than 0.2 mg/L.
f The chlorine content of the input water must not exceed 0.5 mg/L.
I
CAUTION!
f Observe 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.
f A check (shut-off) valve upstream of the filter system must be installed.
f Use only connections with gaskets or flat seals. Conical seals damage the filter head connec-
tions and will invalidate the warranty claim.
f The appliance needs to be connected with hoses in accordance with DVGW W 543 or NSF
42/53.
f If 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.
f Do not install the filter system near heat sources, open fire places or naked flames.
