3.5 Safety Assembly Instructions
•
The terminal device operated with the fi lter must be free of limescale prior to installation.
•
Protect the fi lter system from sunlight and mechanical damage. Do not assemble near sources
of heat and open fl ames.
•
A stop valve must be installed before the fi lter system intake hose.
•
If the water pressure is higher than 6.9 bar or if there are statutory requirements, a pressure
reducer must be installed before the fi lter system.
•
A non-return valve tested by the DVGW has been factory-installed at the water intake of the
fi lter head.
•
No copper pipes and no galvanised or nickel-plated pipes/connectors may be installed between
the water fi lter and the consumer. The use of BRITA hose sets is recommended here. When
choosing the material for parts that come into contact with water after the BRITA fi lter system
it must be remembered that, due to the process, decarbonised water contains free carbon
dioxide.
•
All parts must be installed in accordance with the country-specifi c guidelines on the installation
of drinking water facilities.
•
For erection and operation of the fi lter system, the BG rules "Working in Kitchens" of the Spe-
