IMPORTANT WARNINGS
BEFORE INSTALLING OR HANDLING THE APPLIANCE PLEASE CAREFULLY READ
AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY STANDARDS DESCRIBED IN THIS
MANUAL AND ILLUSTRATED BY THE LABELS ON THE MACHINE.
This humidifier produces non-pressurized steam using electrodes immersed in the water
contained in the plastic steam generator cylinder. The electrodes pass electrical current through
the water, to produce steam.
The quality of the water used affects the ability of electrical current to pass through the water, so
the appliance may be supplied with untreated water, as long as this is drinkable and not
demineralized. (Use of softened water is not recommended.)
This appliance has been designed exclusively to directly humidify rooms or ducts, using the
distribution system supplied. It is suitable for this purpose as long as: the installation, use and
maintenance operations are carried out according to the instructions contained in this manual and
on the labels applied internally and externally.
The conditions of the environment and the power supply voltage must comply with the specified
values. All other uses and modifications made to the device which are not authorized by the
manufacturer are considered incorrect. Liability for injury or damage caused by the incorrect use
of the device lies exclusively with the user.
Please note that the machine contains powered electrical devices and hot surfaces. All service
and/or maintenance operations must be performed by qualified personnel who are aware of the
necessary precautions and are capable of performing the operations correctly. Disconnect the
machine from the main power supply before accessing any internal parts. Local safety standards
in force must be applied in all cases.
The humidifier is made up of metallic and plastic parts. All parts must be disposed of in
accordance to local standards on waste disposal.
This product is warranted for 2 years from the date of installation, or 2 years and 1 month (see
page 23 and warranty card) from the date of original shipment, whichever comes first. This
warranty does not cover consumable parts, such as the steam cylinder. Full warranty information
is on a separate registration card supplied with this appliance.
WARNING: Your humidifier requires water to operate. Do NOT mount it above materials or
machinery that could be damaged if a leak occurs. General Filters, Inc. assumes no responsibility
for consequential or inconsequential damage as a result of any leaks.
