Compared to air, water reduces the temperature
ofthecoolingcircuitmuchmoreefciently,be-

the form of vapour.
Rememberthat:
• You mustalways usesalt-free cleanwater,

• Thelengthoftimethewaterinthetanklasts
depends greatly on environmental conditions
such as temperature, humidity, insulation,
the sun exposure of the room, the number
of people present, etc. As an estimate, the
water lasts about six hours.

light comes on and operation of the

The appliance is fitted with a resin lime-
scale filter enabling normal tap water to be
used.
The resins reduce water hardness and therefo-
re prolong the working life of the appliance.
“CF” is displayed when the limescale fil-
ter needs replacing. The efficacy of the filter
depends on water hardness. It should, howe-
ver, be replaced every five years.
