2.4 Operation of the unit

WARNING
Burn hazard!
The humidifier contains high-temperature components. For electrode,
heater or gas-fired isothermal humidifiers, in the event of leaks or

2.5 Assembly, disassembly, maintenance
and repair of the unit
NOTICE
The humidifier's protection rating is IP20. Make sure that it is not affected
by dripping water in the site of installation.
Installation of the humidifier in a place without a water drainage system
requires the presence of safety devices that, in the event of water leaks,
can safely shut off the water supply to the humidifier.
• Only use original spare parts.
• After any repairs, make sure that safe operation of the unit is checked
by qualified personnel.
• Connection or installation of additional components is only allowed
with the written authorisation of the manufacturer.
WARNING
Do not install the humidifier on top of electrical devices such as fuse
boxes, household appliances, etc. In the event of water leaks, this may
damage the electrical equipment below.

2.6 Electrical system

WARNING
Electric shock hazard!
Dangerous electrical voltage.
Work on the electrical system must only be carried out by qualified
personnel (electrician or technician with equivalent training). During
maintenance or installation work, the appliance must be disconnected
from the mains power supply and must be prevented from being
powered on. Electrical disconnection must be verified by measurement.
The humidifier can only be started when the cover is closed.
Water leaks may cause leakage current. Observe the safety rules when
working on parts that may be live.
After electrical installation or repair work, check all safety devices (e.g.
earth resistor).
NOTICE
Only use original fuses with the correct amperage. Regularly check the
electrical parts of the equipment. Promptly repair any damage, such as
loose connections, burnt wiring or defective electrical insulation.
Responsibility for intrinsically safe installation of the humidifier lies with
the company that carried out installation.

2.7 Disposal after decommissioning

NOTICE The system manager is responsible for disposal of the appliance's
components as specified by law. See 1.2
