WARNINGS 

 

 

 

BEFORE INSTALLING OR HANDLING THE HUMIDIFIER PLEASE CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY STANDARDS 

DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL AND ON THE LABELS ATTACHED TO THE 

compactSteam

.  

 

compactSteam

 produces non-pressurized steam by means of electrodes immersed in the water contained in the plastic steam generator cylinder.  Electric 

current passes through the water between the electrodes, heating the water into steam, which is then used to humidify the air.  
 

The quality of the water used affects the operation of this unit, so the 

compactSteam

 may be supplied with untreated water, 

as long as this is drinkable and 

not softened or demineralized

.  The water converted into steam is automatically replaced through an electric fill valve.  Periodically, based on the water 

quality, the unit will also drain some water to dilute the buildup of minerals in the steam generator and thus extend its life.  This humidifier has been designed 
exclusively to directly humidify rooms or ducts, using a distribution system.  The installation, use and maintenance operations must be carried out according to 
the instructions contained in this manual and on the labels applied internally and externally. 

 

 

IMPORTANT: BEFORE beginning installation: 

 

Check for shipping damage to cartons.  Mark the shipping waybill accordingly. 

 

Open cartons and check for any hidden damage.  Mark the shipping waybill accordingly. 

 

Check packing slip to ensure all items have been received.  Notify Carel USA of any shortages or damaged parts.  

You must notify Carel USA 

within 5 working days of any shortages.

 

 

The conditions of the environment and the power supply voltage must comply with the specified values listed on the data label in the humidifier.  
All other uses and modifications made to the humidifier that are not authorized by the manufacturer are considered incorrect, and the manufacturer 
assumes no liability for the consequences of any such unauthorized use.  
Please note that the humidifier contains powered electrical devices and hot surfaces. 
All service and/or maintenance operations must be performed by qualified personnel who are aware of the necessary precautions and are capable 

of performing the operations correctly.  
Disconnect the humidifier from the main power supply before accessing any internal parts. 
The humidifier must be installed in accordance with all local and national standards. 
The humidifier is made of metallic and plastic parts.  All parts must be disposed of according to the local and national standards for waste disposal

.
