Concerning The Use Of The Ro 400; Concerning Installation And Service - Electrolux RO 400 User Manual

Concerning the use of the RO 400

• The RO 400 is designed to produce the quantity
of water normally required for cooking, drinks,
washing dishes and general household duties.
• The appliance needs to remain connected to the
water and electrical supplies so that its automatic
flushing system can work. The appliance will carry
out flushing automatically every 12 hours
(approximately).
• The appliance must not be operated without the
filters (inside the filter containers) being in place
(except during the descaling or storage
procedures). Doing so can cause serious damage.
• If the tap is left on for longer than 20 minutes the
RO 400 will shut down automatically. The
appliance is designed to do this mainly to maximise
the service life of the membrane. To restart the
appliance, follow the instructions in the "Trouble-
shooting table".
• Depending on the incoming water quality it could
be a delay of up to 60 sec. before the RO 400
indicates that the optimum water purification level
has been reached. This is due to that the appliance
has not been used for some time, which means that
the membrane has not been under pressure. The
concentration of impurities tends to equalise on
both sides of the membrane.
• The top of the water purifier should not be used as
a place for storing anything.
• Do not use the water from the appliance in
aluminium saucepans etc., on account of the risk of
corrosion, which would also cause increased levels
of aluminium in foods cooked in the saucepan.
• The appliance will flush automatically after water is
drawn from it and also whenever the electrical
supply is reconnected. See "To draw purified
water".
SAFETY INFORMATION

Concerning installation and service

• The water purifier must be connected to an
earthed electrical supply. We recommend use of a
plug-in connection to a wall socket, since certain
procedures such as replacing filters and preparing
the appliance for storage if it will not be used for a
time require the power supply to be disconnected,
then reconnected. Using an electrical plug also
makes it easier to move the appliance.
• If the appliance is to have fixed wiring to the
electrical supply, this work must be carried out by a
qualified tradesman. Installation work which has
not been carried out properly can result in personal
injury and/or damage to property which are not
covered by any warranty.
• Any plumbing work required should be carried out
by a qualified tradesman. If you do any of the
installation work yourself, you must check the
regulations which apply to this and comply with
them.
• It is important that the water purifier should be
installed in the upright (standing) position.
• Make sure that hoses and leads do not get crushed
or otherwise damaged when the water purifier is
being moved, e.g. during installation or cleaning.
• The water purifier must not be plumbed in to
supply the entire dwelling with water, since this
could cause corrosion inside water pipes and other
plumbing fittings and hot water heaters. For the
same reason, no tap should be used for drawing
the water from the appliance other than the one
supplied or one recommended by your dealer.
