cations
Only water with the following speci
fi
cations may be used in Memmert appliances:
■
demineralised/deionised
■
Conductivity of 5 – 10
μ
S/cm
■
pH value between 5 and 7
■
chlorine-free
The use of ultrapure water or DI water with an electrical conductance level below 5
μ
S/
cm can damage silicone tubing and cause pitting on the stainless steel components
installed. Unsuitable water also creates favourable conditions for limescale in the
steam generators and steam pipes.
Connection
Fill the supplied water tank with water and use the enclosed tube to connect it to the
“H

O” connection on the rear of the chamber.
For appliances of size 410 or greater, the tank can be attached to the appliance with
the included tank holder. To do this, fasten the tank holder to the rear panel using four
