Chilled & Sparkling GROHE Blue

• Pressurised storage heaters

• Thermally-controlled instantaneous heaters

• Hydraulically-controlled instantaneous heaters Operation with unpressurised storage heaters (displacement water heaters) is not possible. The GROHE Blue

Chilled & Sparkling fitting with integrated cooler/carbonator is designed for use in the private, non-commercial sector. The filter head is fitted with a type-tested non-return valve. The water filtrate is classified as Category 2 according to EN 1717. The cooler/carbonator works with environmentally-friendly refrigerant. Safety notes This device is not intended for use by persons (including children) with physical, sensory or mental impairments or a lack of experience or knowledge in using devices of this type. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the device. Prevent danger resulting from damaged power supply cables. In the case of damage, the mains cable must be replaced by the manufacturer or his customer service department, or an equally qualified person. The mains plug provided (type EF plug) is only suitable for use with Schuko (CEE 7/4) sockets.

(carbon dioxide) is a gas and must not be inhaled due to danger of suffocation. Only CO

cylinders up to max. 2 kg may be used. When using these, the room size must be at least 13 m

cylinder is pressurised. It must only be operated in the vertical position and must be secured against falling over. Operation is only permissible in conjunction with the accompanying adapter with pressure gauge.

• For hygiene reasons, the filter system must be flushed before using for the first time.

• The filter system must always be operated with cold water of foodstuff grade.

• The filter head must be replaced after 5 years.

Approval and conformity The conformity declarations can be obtained from the following address: GROHE Deutschland Vertriebs GmbH Zur Porta 9 D-32457 Porta Westfalica Electrical installation Electrical installation work must only be performed by a qualified electrician. This work must be carried out in accordance with the regulations according to IEC 60364-7-701 (corresponding to VDE 0100 Part 701) as well as all national and local regulations. Installation Refer to the installation dimensions on fold-out page I and II, Fig. [1]. Flush pipes thoroughly before and after installation (observe EN 806). Install pressure-reducing valve on service valve, see fold- out page II, Figs. [2] to [4]. Install and connect fitting, see Figs. [5] to [7]. Important: The cable must not be pinched. Install cooler/carbonator, see Figs. [1] and [8]. When transporting or installing the cooler/carbonator, cooling fluid may have run into the lines. In order to ensure that the cooling fluid has run back, the cooler/carbonator may only be switched on following a pause of 24 hours.

• A distance of at least 50mm must be maintained around the cooler/carbonator at all times.

• Adequate ventilation must be ensured. If necessary, provide ventilation grilles in the cover of the lower cabinet. Install filter cartridge, see Figs. [9] to [12]. The filter head can be swivelled forwards by up to 90° in the wall holder to install the cartridge. The wall holder can also be fastened directly to the lower cabinet or to the wall. Connect cooler/carbonator, see Figs. [7] and fold-out page III, Fig. [13] to [16]. Open hot and cold water supply and check that connections are watertight. Flush filter cartridge, see Fig. [17]. Press the flush button on the filter head in order to flush the filter system. Continue flushing until the water emerging from the hose is clear and free of bubbles (at least 2 litres). Connect CO

cylinder, see Figs. [18] to [23]. Do not operate the valve on the back of the cooler/ carbonator as otherwise CO

will escape, see Fig. [19]. The valve is only needed when cleaning the cooler/carbonator. Connect plug-in connector of fitting to plug-in connector of cooler/carbonator, see Fig. [24]. Establish voltage supply via mains plug, see fold-out page IV, Fig. [25]. The display illuminates and the remaining filter capacity is displayed in percent. Operation / commissioning Open lever in order to draw hot and cold tap water, see fold-out page IV, Fig. [26]. By turning handle, the carbon dioxide content of the cooled and filtered water can be changed: - Position OFF [display does not illuminate] - Position Chilled [display illuminates blue] = still water - Position Medium [display illuminates turquoise] = lightly carbonated water - Position Sparkling [display illuminates green] = strongly carbonated water Control, see fold-out page IV, Fig. [27]. The buttons have the following functions: Filter replacement reset U Filter size selection c Carbonate hardness adjustment Display, see fold-out page IV, Fig. [27]. In the inactive state, the remaining filter capacity is displayed in percent. Display of filter capacity in handle: The fitting has a system-related run-on time of approx. 1 second each time carbonated water is drawn. The display in the handle illuminates blue. Set the temperature of the cooled, carbonated water on the cooler/carbonator, see fold-out page IV, Fig. [27]. Set carbonate hardness at filter head, see Fig. [28]. The relevant water supplier can provide information on the carbonate hardness. Set carbonate hardness at bypass setting of filter head to local conditions, see table column A on fold-out page IV. This product conforms to the requirements of the relevant EU guidelines. Flashing signal Meaning Filter capacity of more than 10% Filter capacity of less than 10% Order filter cartridge
