tions, the appliance must never be
used on the drinking water supply
without a system separator. Use a
suitable system separator manufactured by

separator as per EN 12729 Type BA. Water
flowing through a system separator is con-
sidered non-drinkable.
Caution
Always connect the system separator to
the water supply, never directly to the appli-
ance!
For connection values refer to technical
specifications
