Requirements on the Installation Location
DANGER
Risk of fatal electrocution!
Should the appliance make contact with water whilst connected
to the mains power supply there exists a potentially fatal risk!
Observe the following safety notices to avoid electrical hazards:
► All parts containing electrical components, except remote control devices,
should be located or secured so that they cannot fall into the bathtub.
► Parts that are charged with standard mains power, i.e. all parts except those
supplied with the extra low safety voltage of up to 12 V, MUST be inacces-
sible to people in the bath.
For a safe and error-free operation of the appliance, installation location must
fulfill the following conditions:
■ Never place the pump above the bathtub.
■ Place the pump on a firm, level and dry surface.
■ Place the pump in such a way that the suction opening under of the pump
housing cannot be covered (such as by a bath mat).
■ Do not place the pump in a wet environment or in a spraywater area.
■ Do not place the pump directly next to a radiator or a radiant heater.
■ The mains power socket must be protected by an FC protector switch
(RCD) with a rated residual current not exceeding 30 mA.. It must be easily
accessible, so that the plug can be quickly removed in an emergency.
■ Secure the air-bubble mat to the floor of your bathtub with the rear suction cups.
