IMPORTANT WARNINGS

THE INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY STANDARDS DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL AND ON THE

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 Elite Steam 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 build-up of minerals in the steam 

generator.  In cases of high water mineral content, an activated carbon filter in series

with a particulate filter, no more than 5 microns is suggested. 

This humidifier has been designed exclusively to directly humidify residential 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 GENERAL FILTERS, INC. of any

shortages or damaged parts. 

You must notify General Filters, Inc. within 5 working days of any shortages.
