4 Set-up and Location of the Distillation Apparatus
All free openings of the water connections on the right-hand side of the unit are taped close. These
transport protections have to be removed before installation. Place on solid, even and level surfaces
inside buildings only. Make sure to place the unit only on a watertight, temperature-resistant, non-
flammable surface. The location must provide sufficient space as well as the necessary carrying capacity
for the unit (unit weight as per technical data, chapter 11 of this manual, plus weight of the filling. The
unit is not suitable for use in potentially explosive areas.
5 Operating Voltage
The Distillation Apparatus must be connected to the mains through a correctly installed shock-proof
socket or through an on-site main switch. The Distillation Apparatus is a protection class I electrical
appliance, a connection to the earth conductor (PE) must be ensured. For information on the required
mains fuse please view Technical Data 11 of this manual.
The electrical connection must ensure an all-pole separation of the Distillation Apparatus from the
mains at any time. The mains connection cable must not touch any hot surfaces of the unit. It may not
lead underneath the unit. The main switch of the unit must be off (position O). The voltage on the
nameplate (at the back of the unit) must be identical to the mains voltage. If they are identical, connect
the unit to the mains. For further information, please also refer to chapter 13 of these operating in-
structions "Connection to the Mains Supply".
