7.1 Periodical checks

• After one hour of operation: check for any water leaks.
• Every fortnight or after no more than 300 operating hours:
check for any water leaks and check the general operation
of the cylinder. Check that during operation no sparks form
between the electrodes.
• Every three months or after no more than 1000 operating
hours: check operation, check for any water leaks and, if
necessary, replace the cylinder. Check for any blackened parts
of the cylinder. If there are blackened parts in the cylinder,
check the condition of the electrodes and, if necessary, replace
the cylinder.
• Every year or after no more than 2500 operating hours:
replace the cylinder.
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER
SUPPLY BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE
OPERATIONS!
Always disconnect the power supply before touching the cylinder
in the event of water leaks, as the water may be carrying current.

7.2 Cylinder maintenance

Cylinder service life depends on numerous factors, including: the
quantity and type of minerals in the water, correct use and sizing
of the humidifier, power, and regular, and careful maintenance.
IMPORTANT WARNING: the humidifier and its cylinder
contain live electrical components and hot surfaces. All service and/
or maintenance operations must be performed by specialist and
qualified personnel who are aware of the necessary precautions.
Before performing any operation on the cylinder, make sure that the
humidifier is disconnected from the power supply. Remove the
cylinder from the humidifier only after having emptied completely,
using the "manual drain" procedure described in par. 5.3.
Cylinder replacement
IMPORTANT WARNING: The cylinder can reach high
temperatures. Allow it to cool down before touching it, or wear
protective gloves.
To remove the cylinder:
• Remove the front of the unit
• Completely drain the water inside the cylinder by pressing and
holding the 'DRAIN' button until the cylinder is empty
• Switch the humidifier off and disconnect it from the power
supply
Remove the steam hose from the cylinder:
• Disconnect the cables at the top of the cylinder by pulling the
black snap-on cap upwards (see the drawing on the yellow
label applied to the cylinder);
• Lift the cylinder support bracket, remove the cylinder from
the unit and place it in a bucket so as to collect the water
remaining inside.
