•Checking the connector cable

The connector cable must not be damaged (risk of electricution). A damaged connector cable must be replaced immediately by an authorized Customer Service/qualified elec- trician.

•When the oil has completely drained, screw the oil drain plug back in and slowly pour in oil up to the “MAX” position on the oil tank (air bubbles must escape).

•See technical data, chapter 3 for quantity and type of oil.

•Check the high-pressure hose

The high-pressure hose must not be damaged (risk of bursting). A damaged high-pressure hose must be replaced immediately.

6.3Cleaning the fuel Tank

•Remove the tank from the appliance (first unscrew the handle, appliance hood and cover from the switch box).

•Dispose of the remaining fuel.

•Rinse out the tank thoroughly. If you rinse out the tank with water, allow it to dry completely.

•Replace the fuel filter.

6.4Pump leaks

•3 drops per minute are permissible. You should contact customer service if the leakage is more rapid.

•Unscrew the high-pressure hose from the pump head at the safety block.

•Rotate an M8 screw into the strainer hole and use it to pull the strainer out.

6.7Protection from frost

•Frost will damage the appliance if it is not drained completely of water. In winter the appliance should be kept in a room which is above freezing point. Otherwise, it is recommended to drain the appliance or rinse it thoroughly with anti-freeze.

•Draining the appliance

–Unscrew the water intake hose and high- pressure hose from the appliance.

–Unscrew the supply line from the base of the boiler and allow the heating element to drain.

–Allow the appliance to run for a max. of 1 minute until the pump and the lines have drained.

•Anti-freeze

During extended down-time periods, it is recommended to pump an anti-freeze through the appliance. This also protects the appliance to a certain degree from corrosion.

•Observe the following if the unit is connected to a flue:

Danger of damage caused by cold air entering through the flue. Disconnect unit from flue at outside temperatures below 0°C.
