4 Push down the filter holder release lever to lock the filter holder
into place (‘click’).
5 Place the water reservoir onto the wall holder (1). Put the
cover on the water reservoir (2). To lock the cover, push the
lock lever towards the wall (3). Make sure that the water reservoir
tap is in closed position (turned all the way to the left or right).
6 Open the main water valve. Observe the water purifier for 5
minutes to check for any leakage between connections.
7 If leakage occurs, locate the connection that leaks. Turn off the main
water valve. Loosen the connection that leaks and fasten it again
in the proper manner. Reopen the main water valve. Check again.
Repeat all steps in ‘Installation’ and ‘Preparing for use’, if necessary.
8 The water reservoir now automatically fills with purified water to its
maximum volume of approximately 4 liters. An internal mechanism
prevents the reservoir from overflowing.
9 After the reservoir has filled up to its maximum volume for the first
time, remove the reservoir cover and add 30ml of household bleach
(5% solution of sodium hypochlorite). If your household bleach
contains a solution of only 2.5% sodium hypochlorite, you should use
60ml. Mix the bleach thoroughly through the water with a spoon.
This disinfects the inside of the water reservoir. After 1 minute, drain
the reservoir and throw away the water. After the reservoir has
filled up again to its maximum volume, check if the water still has
a chlorine taste. If it does, throw away the second full reservoir of
water as well.
The water purifier is now ready for use.
The water reservoir is only intended to contain purified water. Do not
put ice or any other ingredients in the water reservoir.
Using the water purifier
If you have not used the water purifier for 2 days or more, drain the
water reservoir completely and throw away the water. If necessary, clean
the water reservoir. See chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’.
Note: Keep the main water valve always open. This ensures that the pure water
reservoir refills automatically. The filling speed of the water reservoir depends
on the state of the filter and the quality and pressure of the input water.
