Safety Information; How To Use The Ro 400 - Electrolux RO 400 Handbuch

SAFETY INFORMATION

The RO 400 Direct Flow is a very safe appliance, but even so it is important that everyone using
it should be thoroughly familiar with the way it works and its safety features. To prevent mishaps
and problems you should read the "Safety Information" on these pages, and carefully follow the
instructions in the "Installation" section. Take care of this manual and make sure that it
accompanies the water purifier if it is moved or sold.
• Check that the water you intend to purify meets
the requirements listed under "Requirements of
feed water to the RO 400", in the section
"Technical data".
• When the RO 400 is brand-new, the purified water
must not be consumed until after the calibration
and flushing procedures have been completed.
• Calibration of the RO 400 should only be carried
out:
- the first time that the water purifier is used
- if the appliance is moved to a different place
(locality) with different water quality
- after the membrane has been replaced
• Since the membrane contains the special products
for storage or descaling, it will have to be cleaned
by following the "Flushing procedure" before the
water from the water purifier may be used.
• The water produced by the appliance should
ideally only be consumed if Purification Level
indicator II or III on the control panel is lit.
• Do not use the purified water if there are any
changes in its taste or smell. Contact your dealer.
• If any leakage occurs, turn off the supply of water
to the appliance immediately and disconnect the
appliance from the electrical supply by removing
the electrical plug from the wall socket, or if
necessary, removing the relevant fuse from the
electrical distribution board (consumer unit) or
switching off the circuit breaker.

How to use the RO 400

• The RO 400 is designed to produce water for appli-
ances which require water of a high level of purity
or of a consistent quality, eg. humidifying systems.
• The appliance needs to remain connected to the
water and electrical supplies so that its automatic
flushing system can function. The appliance will
carry out flushing automatically every 12 hours
(approximately).
• The appliance must not be operated without the
filters being in place (except during descaling,
disinfection or storage). Doing so can cause
serious damage to the membrane.

• If the RO 400 is not going to be used for more
than four months, or if the water purifier is going
to be disconnected from the water and electricity
supplies for a period of time (several days) then
the RO 400 should be put into storage. This also
provides protection against freezing at
temperatures as low as -30°C. See "Storage".
• If the temperature in the room where the
RO 400 is stored is likely to fall below 0°C, the
RO 400 must be protected against freezing by
storing the appliance using the "Storage"
procedure.
• Do not attempt to modify or otherwise alter the
RO 400 in any way. Doing so could result in
personal injury and/or damage to property which
would not be covered by any warranty.
• Once every month you should check that the
connections are all watertight. Leaks outside the
appliance cannot be detected by the appliance's
leakage protection system.
• If the water purifier is malfunctioning, it should be
isolated from the electrical supply by removing the
electrical plug from its socket. If this is not
possible, remove the relevant fuse or switch off the
circuit breaker at the electrical distribution board.
• At the end of the appliance's useful life,
disconnect the electrical plug from the power
supply, then cut the electrical lead at the point
where it enters the appliance. Make quite sure
that children will not be able to play with the
severed lead.
• If the appliance has not been used for some time,
during which time the membrane has not been
under pressure, the concentration of impurities
tends to equalise on both sides of the membrane.
There could then be a delay of up to 60 sec.
before the RO 400 indicates that the optimum
water purification level has been reached.
• The appliance will flush automatically after water
is drawn from it, every 15 minutes when it is in
operational mode and also whenever the electrical
supply is connected. See " Drawing off purified
water".
