connection, commissioning, use or mainte-
nance, please read carefully this manual. The
non-compliance with its instructions may void

REQUIREMENTS FOR USE

USE

This device is not designed for treating non-
drinking water. Therefore, if it delivers drinking
water, it must exclusively be connected to a
water supply already in compliance with the
requirements set by the applicable standards.

UNPACKING

Check that the device and its packing have not
been damaged during transportation. Do not
use the device in case of any visible damage,
and contact the vendor.

LOCATION

The device location shall be:
• flat, clean, dry, properly ventilated and not
accessible to unauthorized persons.
• protected from bad weather, heat sources and
chemical product vapors.

INTERVENTIONS

The owner of the appliance holds the responsi-
bility for making sure that any installation, care
or maintenance work is carried out by a duly
authorized person, with proper skills and tools,
and fully aware of this manual content.
The work shall be performed according to the
state of art and the standards applicable in the
room where the device is installed, especially
regarding plumbing, electricity and handling of
chemical products (see here-below).

PLUMBING

It is especially important to fit efficient water-
hammer arresters if the softener input and/
or output are connected to devices likely to
generate water-hammer effects (for example,
solenoid valves).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Avoid any intermediate connecting device
(extension cord, power strip) between the device
and the wall outlet.
Check the circuit compliance towards all appli-
cable electricity standards, especially regarding
electrical grounding as well as electrical safety.
Do not try to connect the device if its power
supply wire is damaged. Please contact the
vendor in order to get a new complete set of
wire + transformer.
Before plugging the device to the wall outlet,
cut off the power on this outlet by using the
concerned circuit breaker or by removing the
concerned fuse.
If the device is installed close to any equipment
with high electromagnetic parasites emissions
(such as a high power transformer), it is neces-
sary to reinforce its standard protection towards
usual parasites by the proper parasite arrester
system and a shielded wire.
Do not open the electrical controller of the
device without the proper qualification. Elec-
trocution hazard.

CHEMICAL PRODUCTS HANDLING

Chemicals may be necessary for certain servicing
operations. The user shall be fully aware of any
hazard involved in those and use the proper
personal or collective protective equipment
accordingly.
