7. MAINTENANCE
7.1 PERIODIC CHECKS
• After one hour of operation: Check that there are no
significant water leaks.
• Every fifteen days: Check operation for water leaks and
the general condition of the cylinder. Check that during
operation there is no arcing between the electrodes.
• Every three months: Check operation for water leaks and,
if necessary, replace the cylinder. Check that there are no
blackened parts of the cylinder. If there are blackened parts
of the cylinder, check the condition of the electrodes and, if
necessary, replace the cylinder.
• Annually: Replace the cylinder.
CAUTION:
ALWAYS disconnect the main power before
doing maintenance.
CAUTION:
ALWAYS disconnect the main power before
touching the cylinder that has leaked, as current may
flow through the water.
7.2 CYLINDER MAINTENANCE
The life of the cylinder depends on a number of factors, as
previously described. As previously mention in this manual,
maximum production can shorten cylinder life. Since the 5500
is pre-set from the factory at 100%, reducing the factory setting
to lower than maximum production will extend cylinder life.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS
The humidifier and its cylinder contain live electrical
components and hot surfaces; therefore, all service and/
or maintenance operations must be performed by expert
and qualified personnel, who are aware of the necessary
precautions. Before performing any operations on the cylinder,
check that the humidifier is disconnected from the power
supply. Remove the cylinder from the humidifier only after
having drained it completely using the manual “drain” button
or procedure. Check that the model and the power supply
voltage of the new cylinder corresponds to the data on the
rating label.
Replacing the Cylinder
IMPORTANT WARNING: the cylinder may be hot. Allow it
to cool before touching it and/or use protective gloves.
DO NOT attempt to clean the cylinder or its
components.
Damage may result that will affect
operation and void the warranty.
To Replace the Cylinder:
1. Completely drain the cylinder by pressing and holding the
“DRAIN” button until the cylinder is empty.
2. Turn the humidifier off and disconnect the main power.
3. Remove the cover by unscrewing the single screw at the
center bottom of the cover.
4. Disconnect the electrical connections from the cylinder.
Loosen steam hose clamp and remove steam hose.
5. Flip up the cylinder holding bracket and lift the cylinder
out of the unit. Some water may spill out from the bottom
of the cylinder.
6. The O-ring only needs to be replaced if worn, damaged,
or lost. (See Fig. 7.b.) When replacing the O-ring, carefully
remove it with a small screwdriver. Do not try to remove
the plastic O-ring bushing or it will become damaged and
a new pump possibly will be needed.
