Précautions à prendre
AVERTISSEMENT: N’utilisez pas cet appareil avec de l’eau qui contient des
microorganismes la rendant impropre à la consommation ou dont la qualité est
inconnue sans désinfection adéquate avant ou après l’appareil. Les appareils
homologués pour la filtration des parasites peuvent être utilisés sur des eaux dés-
infectées, lesquelles contiennent parfois des parasites filtrables.
ATTENTION: Le filtre doit être protégé du gel, car il risque de se fissurer et de
fuir.
REMARQUE:
• Utilisation sur eau froide uniquement.
• Assurez-vous que l'installation est conforme à tous les règlements provinciaux
et locaux.
• Les impuretés ou autres substances filtrées ou dont la teneur est réduite par la
cartouche que vous avez choisie ne se trouvent pas nécessairement dans votre
eau. Contactez votre service des eaux municipal pour obtenir une copie de leur
analyse de l’eau ou faites analyser votre eau par un laboratoire d’analyse des
eaux réputé.
• La cartouche filtrante a une durée d’utilisation limitée. Un changement du
goût, de l’odeur, de la couleur ou du débit de l’eau filtrée indique que les car-
touches doivent être remplacées.
• Si l’appareil n’a pas été utilisé pendant une longue période (vacances par
exemple), il est conseillé de le rincer soigneusement avant de l’utiliser en
laissant l’eau couler pendant 5 à 6 minutes.
