After cleaning, insert the filter tank into the apparatus in reverse order (without filter cartridge).
Pour water into the filter tank up to the first edge. Push the filter tank halfway into the device until the back-
flow hose of the cleaning device is placed above the filter tank.
To test the function of the pump and, if necessary, to vent the system, switch on the device and simultane-
ously press the key "9" on the hand-held device for two seconds.
The following menu appears on the display.

The pump of the cleaning device can now be switched on by pressing key “1” on the hand-held device and
switched off by
pressing key “2” on the hand-held device.
After switching on the pump, observe the backflow hose to the filter tank.
If the pump does not promote water or if the flow is not sufficient, the pump and the water circle system-
must be vented.
To do this, switch off the pump and open the ball valve to drain some water off. Then close the ball valve
and fill up with water up to the first edge of the filter tank. Switch the pump on again and check whether the
pump promotes enough amount of water now.
There should be a continuous flow.
If the pump is properly vented, it works almost silently.
Figure 54: venting the water cicle system
Insert the filter cartridge without the sponges and with the cartridge sieve dry into the filter. Then immerse
both sponges under water to fill them fully with water and to displace the air from the cavities. Insert
sponges into the cartridge (first the fine sponge, then the coarse sponge). Push the filter tank completely
into the apparatus (over the edge of the base plate) and refill water into the filter tank.
The level of the water should be approximately 1cm above the upper sponge.
Check the water level at least once a day and fill up with water if necessary!
Attention!
Insufficient or no water flow clogs the cone washer and the drain.
Hardening sample material makes the system unusable!
