Commissioning/start-up
NOTE
Prevent the pump from running dry. Otherwise the pump will be destroyed.
Only operate the pump when it is submerged or flooded.
Switching ON/OFF
• Switching on: Plug the power plug into the outlet.
– The unit switches on immediately.
• Switching off: Pull the power plug from the outlet.
Environmental Function Control (EFC)
When started up, the pump automatically performs a pre-programmed self-test (Environmental
Function Control (EFC)). The pump detects if it is running dry / blocked or submerged. The pump
shuts down automatically after 60 to 120 seconds if it runs dry/is blocked. In the event of a mal-
function, disconnect the power supply and "flood the pump" or remove the obstacle. Afterwards,
the unit can be restarted.

Risk of injury due to unexpected start-up. Internal monitoring functions may switch off the unit
and automatically reactivate it.
