USER MANUAL CT NTC IW2 HOTPOINT

Welcome to pure water world, with a new Hotpoint-Ariston WATER MACHINE! Drinking a lot of water purifies your organism, helps your well-being and is the basis of a healthy diet. The new Hotpoint-Ariston Water Machine gives you the certainty of always drinking pure water, as it springs from the source, because it removes the bacteria and impurities which form along the way to your tap. The new Hotpoint-Ariston Water Machine works by a dual system of treatment: a natural filter of activated carbon and a UV ray light. These technologies are those traditionally used in the production of many of the mineral waters of the best brands. The new Hotpoint Ariston Water Machine is very careful with consumption: after a minute of not being used, it goes on standby and the UV light is turned off. The next time the button is pressed, the UV light is reactivated to purify the water already present in the device, and this causes a slight delay in the water coming out. Finally, the new Hotpoint-Ariston Water Machine is designed to simplify your life. In fact, it automatically warns you when it is almost time to change the filter and UV bulb (on average after a year of use). Without the correct functioning of the filter and the UV light, the Water Machine does not allow water to come out. In this way, you can be sure that every glass of water that you drink from the Water Machine will be 99.9999% pure. The Hotpoint Ariston team hotpoint.eu
