General Information
1) Care of the BioLite Pump
• Do not block the ventilation grill at the front of the pump or the cooling fan outlet grill at the rear of the
pump during operation.
• Do not run the pump with the inlet or outlet ports blocked, or with the flow adjuster fully closed. Failure
to comply could lead to overheating and seizure of the pump mechanism. The pump is fitted with an
overtemperature trip, which will disable operation of the pump motor. This trip will automatically reset when
the pump temperature drops to an acceptable level.
• Do not open the pump casing when the mains supply is connected to the pump.
• A small quantity of carbon dust will be exhausted from the pump outlet in normal operation due to normal
wear of the graphite pump rotor vanes.
• The BioLite pump case is IP20 rated, it is not rated as water or splashproof and therefore must not be used
where it is possible for water to enter the pump casing.
Warning - Failure to follow these guidelines will void the product warranty.
