► If the unit is not horizontal, the display in the front of the unit
will indicate the water level incorrectly.
► If the unit is far below the level of the water pad, the water
circulation may be interrupted with heavy patients.

overflowing of the water tank when the water filling socket is
opened with the unit switched off.
For optimal operation of the unit, the place of installation should
meet
•
the following enviromental conditions:
- ambient temperature: 20 °C
3 °C
- relative air humidity: 50 %
20 %
- air pressure: 700 hPa to 1060 hPa
Performance limitations in the attainable pad transition
temperatures under extreme environmental conditions and
selected pad (see chapter 6.2.8 Schematic performance
diagrams), may also lead to restrictions in the intended use.
Condensation in the device can lead to failure.
► If the temperature differences reach more than 8 °C during
installation of the device for the intended operating
environment ambient temperature, allow the unit to
acclimatise for at least two hours before use.
