MAINTENANCE
5.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
Periodic checks
•
After an hour of operation, check for no water leaks in the middle and foot of the cylinder.
•
After 50 hours of operation, check the condition of the cylinder. Make sure no arcing or flicker
occurs between the electrodes during operation.
Check the filter inside the water inlet valve as well as the drain system.
Please re-examine all the power cable connection terminals, as well as the clamps of the various
pipes (steam, drain, inside the wet part).
WARNING! Tighten the clamps when the cylinder is cold.
•
After a year of operation, please check the condition of your steam hose, water drain and the
internal pipes of the unit. If some pipes seem damaged, it is essential to change them. Please
tighten all connection terminals.
Warnings
After a prolonged use or with the use of high TH water, may be solid deposits on the electrodes which
can increase the concentration of water.
If electrical arcs appear inside the cylinder, your humidifier works under abnormal conditions and these
arcs can cause:
•
A significant heat increase that could overheat the plastic and even melt it, causing a hole and then
a leak into the unit.
•
A disjunction of the device due to a high intensity created by the electrical arcs.
•
Premature deterioration of heating electrodes.
•
Burning of electrodes power cables.
In case of electric arcs
Check any points in case electrical arcs appear inside the cylinder:
•
If your water is running with softened water, make sure your softener does not release salt into
the appliance's water supply pipes.
•
Make sure the drain valve is working properly and maintain it.
•
Check F3 drain valve fuse on the main board.
The humidifier has powered electrical components and the cylinder has heated
elements. Therefore, all work must be carried out by qualified and competent
personnel.
Before working on the cylinder, make sure that the humidifier is switched off.
