Safety Instructions

Children aged 8 or over and people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities
or lacking in experience and knowledge may only use the system under supervision or if
they undergo a suitable briefing on safe usage and they are aware of the associated risks
and hazards. Children must not play with the system. Children are not permitted to clean
or maintain the system unsupervised.
The system is designed to operate beneath a sink within a closed room, usually a kitchen. It may only
be connected to a water inlet with a constant drinking water quality as per local regulations and with a
constant flow pressure between 1 and 10 bar at a water temperature between 5 °C and 30 °C.
The ambient temperature and the temperature in the base cabinet must be between 16 °C and 43 °C.
Avoid direct sunlight. Ensure that the system is installed in a frost-proof place. The components can
become damaged if they are frozen.
Only BLANCO or BLANCO-trained professionals are authorised to make changes inside or on the
water conditioning unit or to the whole system. Only trained, qualified personnel may open the water
conditioning unit. Warning: live parts within the water conditioning unit.
The water conditioning unit requires constant air exchange to prevent the installation site from heating
up due to warm exhaust air. A ventilation grate or cooling slits of a suitable size must be fitted if
necessary.
Cables and hoses must be laid in such a way that they cannot be damaged. If the cabling, a plug or a
hose are damaged, they must be replaced by a professional. The entire mixer tap must be replaced if
the signal cable to the tap is damaged.
The water conditioning unit may only be connected to a mains connection with a permanent power
supply of 230 V/50 Hz protected by a residual-current circuit breaker and a separate fuse of at least
10 A. Do not use a multiple socket outlet.
Inspect the hose supply lines to the mixer tap, the safety assembly module and the water conditioning
unit once a year. A leak here will cause immediate water damage. Contact BLANCO Customer Service
if necessary.
As a general rule, it is recommended to boil drinking water for babies or immunodeficient persons. If a
filter with decalcification is used, sodium is added to the water in the filter and can cause problems for
babies and people sensitive to sodium. Contact a doctor or BLANCO Customer Service if necessary.
The water conditioning unit's cooling circuit contains the CFC-free refrigerant isobutane
(R600a). This is a natural gas without any harmful effects on the environment. However,
it is flammable and may be released if the cooling circuit is damaged. Make sure that no
parts of the cooling circuit are damaged. If the cooling circuit does become damaged,
avoid open fire and ignition sources and ensure good ventilation.
