3.4 Protection against freezing
Freezing may destroy the unit if it has not been
completely drained of water. It is best to store
the unit over winter in a heated area, otherwise
it is recommended to empty the unit or rinse
out thoroughly with an antifreeze.
Emptying the unit

high-pressure hose from the unit.
– Run the unit until the pump and hoses are
empty (max. one minute).

periods, pump an antifreeze through the unit.
To some extent this will protect the unit against
