Frost protection
ATTENTION
Frost hazard
Destruction of the device through freezing water
Store the device that has not been completely drained

4. Pour a commercially available antifreeze into the
float tank. Observe the handling instructions of the
anti-freeze manufacturer when doing this.
5. Switch on the device (without burner) until the de-
vice is completely flushed.
Note
The antifreeze also provides a certain degree of corro-
sion protection.
