      If the illuminated pushbutton “Water alarm” is lit, it means the maximum water level was reached, and the water level electrode opened the water drain valve. The pump switches off, and an alarm initiates if the valve's opening period exceeds 4 minutes. First, press the illuminated pushbutton “Water alarm” to acknowledge. You can also drain water manually by pressing the illuminated pushbutton “Water drain” to open the drain valve.

      If the signal lamp “Pump fault” is lit, it indicates that the drive motor's overload protection has been triggered. This can happen if the maximum permissible current consumption is exceeded due to a blockage or dry-running. To resolve this, reset the motor protection relay.
