General Notes; Proper Use; Connecting The Appliance - Kärcher WPD 100 Basic Mode D'emploi

General notes

 In order to ensure the water quality of the dis-
pensed water, only drinking water from a public wa-
ter utility may be used. Here, the quality must com-
ply with at least the guideline of the World Health
Organization (WHO).
 If the drinking water supply must be tapped to in-
stall the appliance, this must be performed by
trained expert personnel that is in possession of a
permit that meets the local laws and regulations.
This work must be ordered by the customer if re-
quired.
 To protect from water damage caused by a burst
water supply hose, we recommend the installation
of a Shut-off-valve and an aqua stop (sold sepa-
rately) in the water supply line.
 Care tasks on the inside of the device may only be
performed by the operator of the device, who has
read these operating instructions.
The door of the base must always be locked.

 If you are using a CO bottle, please observe the lo-
2
cal guidelines to mark the installation room.
 Do not clean the device with a water stream.
 Plastic surfaces must not be cleaned with alcohol-
containing, aggressive or abrasive detergents.
The surface cleaner CA 30 R (6.295-686.0) is rec-
ommended.
 After initial start-up, filter change and longer stand-
still times the water may temporarily appear milky
when dispensing unchilled water. This is ascribed
to fine air bubbles and does not effect the quality of
the water.
Transport
CAUTION
Mind the weight of the appliance during transport.
 Do not transport the device horizontally.
 Because of its weight, the WPD 600 should be set
up by 2 persons or with the help of relevant aids
such as a hand truck.

Proper use

 The device is used to dispense tempered and un-
tempered drinking water of approved food quality
for self-service. Depending on the unit model the
water dispenser is equipped with various filters
(Active-Pure-Filter, Hy-Protect-Filter, Hy-Pure-Fil-
ter or UV-Protect).
 This device is not intended for use by persons (in-
cluding children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental abilities or lacking experience and/or knowl-
edge, unless they are supervised by a person re-
sponsible for their safety or are instructed by these
persons on the use of the device. Children should
be supervised, to ensure that they do not play with
the device.
 The appliance must be installed in frost-free rooms.
 Do not use or park the device outdoors.
 Do not lay down the device or store or transport it
in a horizontal position.
Function
From the water inlet, the water flows first through the fil-
ters (for a description of the filters, see Consumables) or
the UV light. Depending on the operated button, the wa-
ter then flows through the cooling module, the CO2 mix-
er (depending on the equipment) or directly to the water
output.
When carbonated water is required (option), the water
(option) will be enriched with carbon dioxide.
The entire water system must be chemically cleaned at
regular intervals.

Connecting the appliance

Preconditions
DANGER
Should it be necessary to open the side parts for the in-
stallation and initial startup of the device, this may only
be done by a qualified electrician.
 During the initial installation and in case of repairs,
which involve the replacement of accessories, you
must make sure that only the components defined
as accessories are used (connection kit, CO
sure regulator (option, appliance with CO
parts are components that have been released by
KÄRCHER for installation. These components are
tested and certified to meet the high quality require-
ments of the certification by the SGS Institut Frese-
nius GmbH and the KÄRCHER quality standards.
Never use other components.
 The power connection and the water input pres-
sure must conform to the data in the specifications.
 Depending on local regulations, the use of an ap-
proved check valve is required.
16
 Devices with a drip pan drain into the waste water
line of the building must be designed with a trap for
the protection against unpleasant odour from the
waste water line.
The trap must be positioned lower than the drip
pan.
Only with a continuously falling waste water hose
the drip pan drain works in a reliable way.
There must be an even surface available to install

the appliance.
 Power plug and receptacle must be freely accessi-
ble after the installation.
 In the interest of reducing power consumption, the
power supply can be switched off when the device
is not in use (e.g. using a timer clock):
 Power switch, fuse and water connection at the
back of the device must be freely accessible. The
minimum distance to the wall is 100 mm.
 Only with WPD 100 and WPD 200 with base:
In order to guarantee a great stability of the device
in accordance with the provisions of the device
standard, a device with base must be secured on
the floor or wall (attachment kit floor fixing WPD
2.643-483.0).
As an alternative, the attachment kit additional
weight for base WPD (2.643-474.0) can be used in
order to lower the centre of gravity of the device ac-
cordingly.
