IMPORTANT WARNINGS:
1. Before starting, check that the humidifier is in perfect condition, that there are no water leaks and that the electrical parts are dry;
2. Do not connect power if the humidifier is damaged or even partially wet!
When installation is completed, flush the supply pipe for around 10 minutes by piping water directly into the drain, without sending it into the humidifier;
this will eliminate any scale or residues that may cause foam when boiling.
