Functional description The Condair CP3 D is a pressureless steam generator that utilizes an electrode heating. The Condair CP3 D is designed for steam generation in a steam bath. Steam generation Any time steam is requested, the electrodes are supplied with voltage via main contactor. Simulta- neously, the inlet valve opens and water enters the steam cylinder from the bottom via water cup and supply line.

Note: If the Condair CP3 D is operated with water of low conductivity it may happen that the maximum steam capacity is not reached in the first few hours of operation. This is normal. As soon as the conductivity has reached a sufficient level (due to the vaporisation process) the steam generator will reach the maximum steam capacity.

WARNING! tion. Prevention: Before carrying out any maintenance work set the Condair CP3 D out of opera- tion as described in chapter 6.3 (switch off the unit, disconnect it from the mains and stop the water supply) and secure the unit against inadvertent power-up.
Maintenance list To maintain operational safety the Condair CP3 D steam generator must be maintained at regular in- tervals. This is differentiated between the first maintenance after approx. 500 operating hours (I), steam cylinder maintenance after the yellow LED lights (II) and annual maintenance (III).
Removing and installing parts for maintenance 7.3.1 Removal and installation of the steam cylinder 1. Use a screwdriver to undo the two screws fixing the front panel to the unit, then remove the front panel. 2. Units with steam hose connector in housing top: release the two hose clamps on the rubber sleeve using a screwdriver, then detach the rubber sleeve from the connection in the unit cover and from the steam outlet connection of the steam cylinder.

7.3.3 Removal and installation of the water cup and the water hoses To improve accessibility for removing the water cup and the water hoses we recommend to remove the steam cylinder first (see chapter .3.1). 1. Release hose clamps using pliers, then disconnect all hoses from the corresponding connectors and remove the hoses.
7.3.4 Removal and installation of the drain pump The steam cylinder does not need to be removed when removing the drain pump. 1. Detach electric cables (polarity of the cables must not be observed). 2. Release hose clamps and remove the hoses from the connectors. 3.
