SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Residual risks
The following section species
residual risks that could occur
even when the water dispenser
is used as intended.
Danger to life from electrical
current!
Contact with parts carrying live
voltage is an immediate danger
to life due to electrical shock.
Damage to the insulation or indi-
vidual components can therefore
be life-threatening.
• If the insulation is damaged,
switch off the power supply
immediately and arrange for
repair work. Please contact
customer service in this case.
(see rear page)
• Never bypass or switch off
fuses.
• Keep parts carrying live voltage
away from moisture to prevent
the risk of short circuit. Never
pull the plug using the cord or
with wet hands.
• Always run the cable so that it
cannot come into contact with
heat sources, moisture, oil,
sharp objects, sharp edges etc.
Do not clamp or fold the cord.
• If the power cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by the man-
ufacturer, its service agent, or
similarly qualied persons in
order to prevent a hazard.
• Ensure that the plug remains
readily accessible to be able to
disconnect the appliance from
the mains supply.
• Unplug the appliance prior to
cleaning or maintenance work.
In the process, ensure that the
user is able to verify at each
access point that the appliance
still remains unplugged.
Risk due to hot water!
Hot water may cause severe
scalds.
• Ensure that there is no extremity
below the nozzle of the tap when
dispensing hot water.
• Keep children out of reach of the
water dispenser.
Danger from CO
2
!
CO
2
is a colourless, odourless
gas. There is a danger of suffo-
cation in situations of high con-
centrations and bad ventilation.
The room size must be of at least
17 m
3
per 1 kg of CO
2
.
• Observe the operating instruc-
tions for handling CO
2
com-
pressed gas cylinders (see
“Safety instructions for using
CO
2
gas cylinders” in the imme-
diate proximity of the CO
2
bottle).
• Ensure tha t the CO
2
bottle size
calculated from the spatial
volume of the installation room
is not exceeded. Contact the
customer service in the case
of questions about the size of
the CO
2
bottle (see ‘Customer
services’ on rear page).
• In the case of a suspected in-
crease in CO
2
concentrations,
do not breathe in, exit the dan-
ger area and sufciently venti-
late the place of installation.
• Dissipate the CO
2
in accor-
dance with the corresponding
statutory provisions.
• Always run hoses so that they
cannot come into contact with
heat sources, moisture, oil,
sharp objects, sharp edges etc.
Do not bend or pinch hoses.
• Do not touch a frozen CO
2
bottle.
Danger to life from CO
2
bottle
pressure!
In the case of improper handling,
the pressure on the CO
2
bottle
can lead to serious or even fatal
injuries.
Before replacing the CO
2
bottle:
• Establish a pressureless state.
Also discharge residual energy.
• Always ensure that the unintend-
ed escape of CO
2
is prevented.
• Have defective parts – to which
pressure is applied during
normal operation – immediately
replaced by a trained person.
• Always secure CO
2
bottles in
an upright position and secure
against falling.
• Make sure that the sticker
“Safety instruction for using the
CO
2
gas cylinder” is placed in
the immediate vicinity of the
CO
2
bottle.
• Always observe the safety
notes on the CO
2
bottle.
Danger to health from re-
frigerant!
Escaping refrigerant can cause
frostbite, irritate the respiratory
passages or lead to a loss of
consciousness and to suffoca-
tion.
• Avoid contact with the refrigerant.
• Prevent damage to refrigerant
lines.
Refrigerant R290
The appliances are
provided with the refrig-
erant R290. This refrig-
erant is an ecologically friendly,
but ammable product. The
room size must be of at least
1 m³ per 8 g of refrigerant. The
amount of refrigerant in your
appliance is indicated on the
rating plate of the appliance.
Concerning the room tempera-
ture please observe the indica-
tions in the instruction manual.
Additionally, the following indi-
cations concerning appliances
containing refrigerant R290
need to be followed:
• Do not damage the refrigerant
circuit. Escaping refrigerant
can catch re.
