rooms. In case there is frosting risk, for e.g.
if the machine is installed in open areas,
then the machine must first be emptied and
flushed using an anti-freezing agent.

drained device.
Drain water.
Flush device with anti-freeze agent.
A certain corrosion protection is
achieved with this as well.

Storing the device

Caution
Risk of injury and damage! Note the weight
of the appliance in case of storage.
This appliance must only be stored in inte-
rior rooms.

Maintenance and care

Danger
Risk of injury! The main switch is to be
switched off while carrying out any repairs
or maintenance jobs.
Visual check
Check the connection cables.
The connection cable must not be dam-
aged (risk of electrical shock). A dam-
aged connection cable must be
replaced immediately by an authorised
Customer Service Engineer or an elec-
trician.
Check hot water hose.
The hot water hose must not be dam-
aged. A damaged hose must be re-
placed immediately (danger of burns).
Decalcify boiler.
Calcified appliances worsen the heat trans-
fer and the efficiency is reduced.
Danger
Risk of explosion due to combustible gas-
es! Smoking strictly prohibited during de-
calcification. Ensure proper ventilation.
Danger
Risk of burns injury on account of acid!
Wear protective glasses and protective
gloves.

Troubleshooting

Danger
Risk of electric shock! The inspection of
electrical components may only be per-
formed by the authorised customer service.
Possible cause
There is no voltage in the machine.
Fuse in the control circuit has burnt out. Fuse is lo-
cated in the control transformer.
Protective motor switch in the switch cabinet was
triggered
Temperature regulator defective, temperature limit-
er has switched off the appliance.
Contactor is not working.
No liquid softener in the container.

–
solves chalk and simple compounds of
chalk and detergents residues.
Fill the boiler with 30 liters of water.
Connect the water hose directly to the
water input and hang in the other free
end into the container.
Unscrew the nozzle of the steel pipe.
Also insert the connected spray pipe of
the high-pressure cleaner into the con-
tainer. This is how a cycle is created:
Container - pump - boiler.
Pour 2 l of decalcifying solution into the
container.
Let high-pressure pump run.
The solution must not become hotter
than 60 °C. Ensure that there are no
steam bubbles (do not mistake them for
foam).
If there is no visible gas generation after
15 minutes, pour another 0.5 l of decalci-
fying solution into the container (max.
concentration 7%). With regular decalci-
fying, this will only take approx. 3 minutes.
