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
main-tain this condition and to ensure safe func-tioning, the user
should observe all the rec-ommendations given in these instruc-
tions at all times. If there are any signs that safe op-eration 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 func-tioning 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 per-fect condition. Voltage and frequency must comply with
those stated. The transformer must be kept at a distance of at least
3.5 metres 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 trans-former 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 manu-facturer or his After-Sales Service
or a simi-larly qualified person in order to avoid haz-ards. Do not
lift or move the pump by pulling on the power cable.
