8. Commissioning Steam production may show a delay of up to 20 mins. Risk of operating error! Start-up of the unit is restricted to expert staff only (electricians or expert personnel with equivalent training). » Allow all electrical functions to termi- nate in their programmed order.
9. Maintenance Since steam and condensate hoses are sub- ject to wear as well, hoses must also be 9.1 General checked regularly. For the achievement of a long unit life span, Seals are wear parts. As such, seal integrity regular maintenance is a must. Maintenance checks and replacement, if required, is also a works to be performed refer to unit assem- part of the regular maintenance work.
9.2 Maintenance frame work Mineral deposits precipitate and crystallize very differently in different types of water, even when two types have the same conduc- tivity and hardness levels (the various con- stituents in the water interact differently). Instructions on maintenance and cleaning intervals, or on electrode service life, are based entirely on empirical data.
