5.1 CONDITIONS FOR THE CORRECT OPERATION OF
THE EQUIPMENT
• The equipment should not be fed with hot water
(T>40ºC).
• The temperature of the room must be between 4º and
45ºC.
• For waters with a salinity level higher than 500 ppm,
get in touch with your distributor so that they can advi-
se you for the most appropriate treatment for your case
and thus ensure the proper operation of your equip-
ment, avoid damaging the components and guarantee
the quality of the water provided.
5.2 PRE-INSTALLATION WARNINGS
• If you need to adapt the facilities of your residence or
business in order to be able to install the equipment in
the designated space, any adaptation should be done
following all applicable national regulations concerning
the internal installation of water and power supplies.
• KINETICO equipment requires that a power outlet be
placed at least one meter away.
• KINETICO equipment should not be installed laying
down or at an angle. They should be placed over a flat
surface in order to operate correctly and securely.
• The spot designated for its installation must be large
enough to host the device, its accessories, connections
and to allow for maintenance to be carried out comfor-
tably.
• Maintain a minimum separation of 10 cm from the si-
des and back wall to ensure the proper ventilation of the
equipment.
• The equipment should never be installed outdoors.
ATTENTION: After its installation, the equipment
should not be connected immediately to a power
source. It should be left to rest for 2 hours once it has
been installed in the desired spot. This is very impor-
tant in order to guarantee the proper operation of the
system, since otherwise the compressor may end up
damaged. The manufacturer will not be responsible
for any of the damages suffered by the equipment in
this case.
5.3. WARNINGS REGARDING THE USE OF THE EQUIP-
MENT
• If you are going to be absent for more than one week,
close the equipment’s water inlet valve, empty it and
disconnect it from the power supply. When you come
back, connect the power supply to the equipment, open
the inlet valve and empty the storage tank twice before
consuming the water.
Attention: If the equipment has not worked or has
not produced water for a prolonged period of time
(more than one month), get in touch with the dis-
tributor in order to set up its appropriate sanitization
and maintenance.
Attention: Particular attention must be paid to
the regular cleaning and hygiene of the frontal
dispensers, especially when carrying out their
periodical maintenance and sanitization. For this, use
a sanitising spray and single use paper towels (see the
chapter on Sanitization).
