Flush the water supply pipe before making connection to the solenoid valve.
6.3 Water discharge WARNING Risk of scalding! During blow down, up to 0.3 l/sec (08 gal./ sec) are being drained with a temperature of about 95 °C (203°F). Ensure that the drain hose is reliably fas- tened and wastewater can drain freely and pressureless.
Please note With the optional wastewater cooling system HyCool (not available for FLP-XX-TPRO units), HygroMatik offers an option for limi- ting the steam humidifier wastewater temper- ature in order to protect thermosensitive wastewater pipe lines. By blending with tap water during blow-down, wastewater temper- ature is below 60°C (140°F) as long as inlet...

Hot steam cylinder during operation and for some time afterwards.
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 constit- uents in the water interact differently). Instructions on maintenance and cleaning intervals, or on electrode service life, are based entirely on empirical data.
