Function

From the water inlet, the water flows first through the filter (for a description of the filters, see Consumables). Depending on the button pressed, the water then flows through the cooling module, the CO2-mixer (optional) or directly onward to the water dispenser. If carbonated water is required (optional), carbon dioxide is also added to the water. To ensure perfect hygiene, the entire water system must be chemically cleaned at regular intervals.

General instructions for handling CO2 bottles

When replacing CO2 bottles, the safety instructions of the gas supplier and any legal requirements must be observed.

• The CO2 bottle must be equipped with the pressure reducer approved by KÄRCHER so that the carbonic acid content of the water can be adjusted.
• The carbon dioxide E 290 must comply with the purity requirements of Directive 96/77/EC (food quality) and be labelled in accordance with Article 7 of Directive 89/107/EEC.
• Before using a gas bottle, make sure that the correct type of gas has been provided. Reliable information about the type of gas is provided solely by the hazardous goods label that must be present on every
  gas bottle. The colour of the gas bottle does not always give clear information about the type of gas. A gas bottle of which there is any doubt about the contents or which is conspicuous in any other way (damage, exposure to fire, traces of mechanical processing) must not be used.
• The country-specific regulations must be observed.

DANGER
