15 Changing the water and refilling the tank
1

The water in the closed 400 ml tank of the device serves to
keep the sponge permanently moisturized and is gradually
consumed by electrolysis. As soon as the
water drop signal
(1)
or (2) starts to flash, the tank must be refilled. The fuel cap
opens by turning it to the left!
Filtration through the filter can
take up to 10 minutes
. It is best to use distilled or reverse
osmosis water (steam iron water). Make sure that the tank
does not overflow because leaking water could damage
electronic components. After refilling the warning light should
go out and the re-inserted sponge should be well moistened in
the water.
If you are transporting the Lourdes or do not want to use it for
more than a week (holidays etc.) you should change the tank
water (and of course the water in the jug) before the next time
it is used.
To empty the tank
, first remove the jug and sponge holder with
the sponge. Unplug the power plug. Then open the tank cap
and place the unit over a water spout. Finally, pull the plug of
the drainage hole and drain the water.
Attention:
During the procedure, make sure that you do not
lose the sponge or the very small drainage plug and replace it
after emptying.
