f Chemicals, solvents and vapours must not come into contact with the filter system.
f The installation location must be protected against freezing and direct sunlight.
NOTE!*
f For installation and operation of the filter system, the BG regulation "Rules for Safety and
Health Protection When Working in Kitchens" of the "Food and Beverages" expert commit-
tee of BGZ (BGR111) must be observed. The filter system has been hygiene tested in accor-
dance with Section 7.4 DIN 18879-1.
f The materials are selected in accordance with the requirements of DIN 18879-1 and EN 14898.
f The pressure resistance of the filter system conforms to DIN 18879-1.
f The filtered drinking water conforms to liquid category 2 in accordance with EN 1717.
f Clean and descale the appliance, e.g. coffee machine, before firstly installing the filter
system.
f For immunocompromised people and infants it is recommended to boil the tap water before
drinking. This also applies to filtered water.
f For the protection against microbiological growth the filter cartridge contains a small
amount of silver ("bacteriostatic")*. There might be a harmless release of silver in concen-
trations below the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO). The term
" bacteriostatic" indicates that the system limits the passage or growth of bacteria already
existing in the incoming water*. It does not mean that the water leaving the system is safer
to drink than the water entering it.
