Operation/handling 7.2 Program selection and sequence ► Select the required operating mode in the menu: ● Filling (refer to chapter 7.2.1). • Demineralisation, Softening ► Obey the instructions in the control unit. The run time of the program depends on the conductivity or hard- ness of the raw water and the capacity of the connected cartridge.
Page 37
Operation/handling 7.2.1 Filling operating modes ► Before carrying out the work, you need to decide whether you want to fill in softened or demineralised water. ● Grünbeck’s recommendation: Use fully demineralised water in combination with thermaliQ safe. Before carrying out the work, the proper cartridge must be in- stalled and prepared.
