Never touch the plug with wet hands. Never pull out the plug from the socket using the cable – always pull on the plug. Keep the pro-duct, plug and all cables away from open fires and hot surfaces. Lay the cable so that it does not pose a tripping risk and do not place it under the ground. Lay cables in such a way that they will not be damaged by lawn mowers and other similar devices. Do not kink the cable and do not lay it over sharp edges. Do not use an extension cable, multiple socket adapters or other adapters.

Your cartridge filter has been thoroughly test-ed after production and left the factory in technically perfect condition. In order to maintain this condition and to ensure safe functioning, the user should observe all the recommendations given in these instructions at all times. If there are any signs that safe operation of the cartridge filter may no longer be guaranteed, the system is to be disconnected from the electricity supply immediately and secured against unintentional switching on again. This is the case:

• if the device shows visible damage.
• if the device appears to be no longer functioning correctly.

Do not use the pump if there is no water in the pool. Before the filter pump is started up, please check that all cables and the plug are in perfect condition. Voltage and frequency must comply with those stated. The transformer must be kept at a distance of at least 3.5 meters from the pool. The transformer, cable and plug must be kept dry. Before servicing the pump and cleaning the particle filter, make sure that the transformer has been disconnected from the electricity supply. If the power cable is damaged, the pump must not be used. If the connecting cable on this device is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or his After-Sales Service or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazards. Do not lift or move the pump by pulling on the power cable.
