The unit shall be inspected and cleaned at least twice a year. In case of highly polluted waste waters (e.g.
kitchen waste water containing fat) a more frequent inspection may be necessary. For this purpose, after
disconnecting the mains plug, the grid and/or the cover plate must be removed.
Now, the siphon insert with dirt trap may be completely removed.
In case of UFB ejection units, escaping water in the pump housing of the pump is
construction-conditioned (ventilation) – no defect!
In order to prevent malfunctions and blockages, this ventilation hole of the pump must be cleaned from
solids and contaminations. Especially in case of washing machines without lint filter, the ejection unit,
especially the ventilation hole and the inlet filter of the pump as well as the floater, must be cleaned in
shorter intervals. The interior of the tank must be cleaned using clear water.
- For troubleshooting and inspection of the motor or the electrical components, please contact your
specialist retailer.
Excepting in case of dysfunctions, a disassembly of the pump is not necessary.
After completion of the works, the siphon will be reinstalled (respect the correct position according to image 1!)
and the O-ring will be carefully pressed into the existing groove between siphon and tank. In case of a heavy
contamination or degradation, the O-ring must be replaced.
Finally, the grid/cover plate will be replaced and the mains plug will be plugged in.
For inspection, the unit should be inspected twice with clear water.
