WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
CAUTION
Hot discharge water
Discharge water can be as hot as 212 °F (100 °C) and can damage the drain plumbing.
Humidifiers equipped with a water tempering device need fresh make-up water in order to function properly. Make sure the water
supply to the water tempering device remains open during draining.
Excessive supply water pressure
Supply water pressure greater than 80 psi (550 kPa) can cause the humidifier to overflow.
WARNING
Read all warnings and instructions
This page provides important safety instructions; it is intended to supplement — not replace — the humidifier's Installation,
Operation, and Maintenance Manual (IOM). Read the IOM that was provided with the humidifier before performing
service or maintenance procedures on any part of the system. Failure to follow all warnings and instructions could
produce the hazardous situations described here and in the IOM, resulting in property damage, personal injury, or
death.
If the IOM is missing, go to www.dristeem.com to download a replacement.
Hot surfaces and hot water
Steam humidification systems have extremely hot surfaces, and water in tanks, electrode cylinders, steam pipes, and
dispersion assemblies can be as hot as 212 °F (100 °C). To avoid severe burns, allow the entire humidification system to
cool.
Follow the cool-down procedure in the humidifier's IOM before performing service or maintenance procedures on any
part of the system.
Shut down the energy source
Before performing service or maintenance procedures on any part of the humidification system, verify that all energy
sources are off. Energy sources can be electricity, gas, steam, or hot liquid. Failure to shut down the energy source could
result in carbon monoxide poisoning, fire, explosion, electrical shock, and other hazardous conditions. These hazardous
conditions could cause property damage, personal injury, or death.
Contact with energized circuits can cause property damage, severe personal injury or death as a result of electrical
shock or fire. Do not remove the shroud/cover, electrical panel cover/door, access panels, or heater terminal cover until
electrical power is disconnected.
Follow the shutdown procedure in the humidifier's IOM before performing service or maintenance procedures on any
part of the system.
