Putting into operation
4. Putting into operation
Caution:
The first time the appliance is operated, it must not be left unattended until it has reached
the steady state.
4.1 Connecting the appliance
Caution:
Observe the country-specific regulations when mak-
ing connections (e.g. in Germany DIN VDE 0100 with
residual current circuit breaker). Observe the connec-
tion and power ratings (see nameplate and “Technical
Data” on page 13). Make sure to establish a safe PE
conductor connection.
Plug the provided power cable into the rear of the appli-
ance and connect it to the power supply ( Fig. 9 ).
Lay the power cable so that
►
it is always accessible and within reach so it can be disconnected quickly in the event of
failure or emergencies;
►
no one can trip over it;
►
it does not come into contact with any hot parts.
4.2 Fill up and connect the water tank
Water specifications Water specifications
For steam creation, use only demineralised water (aqua dem) in accordance with
VDE 0510/DIN EN 50272; regulations must be strictly adhered to (production conductivity
≥ 5 ≤ 10 µS/cm). Battery water in accordance with VDE 0510 is available in larger chemist’s
shops, super markets, hardware stores and in the wholesale trade. The standard VDE 0510/
DIN EN 50272 has to be explicitly specified on the label.
Otherwise, possible calcification in the steam generators, steam piping and peristaltic pumps
could affect the operability of the device.
The water used must have a pH value between 5 and 7 and be chlorine-free.
