. Pumps may not be used with foodstuffs if they have
not been adapted accordingly. The use of the pump for
foodstuffs must be specified in the order data sheet.
. Only select the setup type according to this operating
manual. For example, the following are not allowed:
- Hanging base plate pumps in the pipe
- Overhead installation
- Installation in the immediate vicinity of extreme heat or
cold sources
- Installation too close to the wall
