KARCHER WPD 200 Basic Water Dispenser

Please read and comply with these original instructions prior to the initial operation of your appliance and store them for later use or subsequent owners.

General notes

  • In order to ensure the water quality of the dispensed water, only drinking water from a public water utility may be used. Here, the quality must comply with at least the guideline of the World Health Organization (WHO).
  • If intervention in the drinking water network is necessary in order to install the device, this must be done by a trained expert who is authorized to do this according to the laws and regulations valid for the location. When installing the device, the applicable national regulations for interventions in the drinking water network must be observed. The work must be commissioned by the customer if required.
  • To protect from water damage caused by a burst water supply hose, we recommend the installation of a Shut-off-valve and an aqua stop (sold separately) in the water supply line.
  • Care tasks on the inside of the device may only be performed by the operator of the device, who has read these operating instructions.
  • The door of the base must always be locked.
  • If you are using a CO2 bottle, please observe the local guidelines to mark the installation room.
  • Do not clean the device with a water stream.
  • Plastic surfaces must not be cleaned with alcohol-containing, aggressive or abrasive detergents. The surface cleaner CA 30 R (6.295-686.0) is recommended.
  • After initial start-up, filter change and longer standstill times the water may temporarily appear milky when dispensing unchilled water. This is ascribed to fine air bubbles and does not affect the quality of the water.

General information on handling CO2 bottles

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

  • The CO2 bottle must be equipped with a pressure reducer approved by Kärcher so that the level of carbonation of the water can be adjusted.
  • The food gas carbon dioxide E 290 must comply with the purity requirements as per directive 96/77/ EG and must be marked as per Art. 7 of the directive 89/107/EWG.
  • Prior to using a gas bottle, one has to make sure that the correct gas type has been provided. Only the hazardous goods label, which must be present on all gas bottles, can be considered reliable information about the type of gas. The color of the gas bottle does not always provide clear information regarding the gas type. A gas bottle whose content is questionable or which is abnormal in any other way (damage, fire damage, signs of mechanical tampering), must not be used.
  • Please adhere to country-specific regulations.

DANGER
Risk of explosion!
Do not use a CO2bottle with a riser. Riser bottles are, for example, marked with a red warning label. Mortal danger due to possibly bursting CO2 gas tank.
Install and fasten the pressure gas container in an upright position.
  Never connect the pressure gas container without a pressure reducer and safety valve. The pressure reducer with a safety valve must be approved for the device type.
