Warning - danger of electric shock! Disconnect the steam humidier from the mains
supply(heatingandcontrolvoltage)beforeopeningtheunit.
Warning! Electronic components inside the unit are very susceptible to electrostatic dis-
charges.Fortheprotectionofthesecomponents,measuresmustbetakenduringallinstal-
lationworktopreventdamagecausedbyelectrostaticdischarge(ESD–protection).
All adjusting elements are situated on the control board:
– Rotaryswitch“S1”: draininterval
– Rotaryswitch“S2”: maintenanceinterval
– Rotaryswitch“S3”: controlsignal(seechapter5.5.3)
– Rotaryswitch“S4”: unitsettings
Setting the drain interval (“S1”)
The evaporation process increases the concentration of mineral salts in the steam cylinder. Periodic
ushingfollowedbyrellingoffreshwatercankeeptheconcentrationofmineralsaltsatalowlevel.
Theintervaltimetobeselecteddependsonthequalityofthewaterandthetypeofunit.Itmayhave
tobeadaptedtotheactualcircumstancesduringoperation.Thefollowingmaintenanceintervalscan
be selected.
