Replacing the filter cartridge
The filter cartridge must be replaced when it runs out or at
l atest 6 months after commissioning, irrespective of the level of
e xhaustion of the filter system.

prior to exchange. After storage and transport below 0°C,
!
the product must be stored in the open original packaging
for at least 24 hours at the stated ambient temperatures
( c hapter 7) for operation.
The filter cartridge can be pivoted by 90° in the wall mount
for easy removal. When the locking handle is open, the
water supply to the cartridge is interrupted and by-passing
with direct water flow from the water inlet to the outlet is
possible.

water. Activate the flush valve (5) and release pressure from the
system.
