Put the unit out of operation when freezing temperatures are to be expected. Drain and thoroughly clean the
flow­through filter, check for damage. Remove, clean, dry and store all filters in a frost­free environment. Do not
immerse the power plug in the water! Cover the filter container such that the ingress of rain water is excluded.
Drain all hoses, pipes and connections as far as possible. Ensure that the storage place is inaccessible to
children.
