WARNING
Before starting, check that the humidifier is in per-
fect condition, that there are no water leaks and that
the electrical parts are dry.
Do not connect power if the humidifier is damaged
or even partially wet!
When installation is complete, flush the supply pipe for 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.
