OPERATING AND INSTALLATION MANUAL LBE 250AO PAGE 12 8.2 Reverse osmosis The water pressure in the drinking water pipe enables the operation of the reverse osmosis unit. The raw water (drinking water) is pushed through a semipermeable osmosis membrane. The clean water passes through this membrane (but it cannot pass back) and then into the humidifier tray.
(see chapter 12), information on water hardness must be entered (see commissioning), after which the unit is ready for use. 9.1 Control unit (display) / basic settings The LBE 250AO air humidification unit comes with a 4.3" touchscreen display. Operation using the touchscreen display is simple and intuitive.
