Suck water from the container
DANGER
Risk of injury and damage, contamination of drink-
ing water

Electrical shock in the event of a short-circuit
The maximum permissible mains grid impedance at the
electrical connection point (see Technical data) must
not be exceeded.
Contact your electricity supplier in the case of any un-
certainties regarding the mains grid impedance at your
electrical connection point.
● For connected loads, see technical data and type
plate.
