BEFORE INSTALLING OR HANDLING THE HUMIDIFIER PLEASE CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS
AND SAFETY STANDARDS DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL AND ON THE LABELS ATTACHED TO THE Elite Steam.
CAUTION: ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE MAIN POWER BEFORE OPENING OR SERVICING THE HUMIDIFIER!
Elite Steam produces non-pressurized steam by means of electrodes immersed in the water contained in the plastic steam
generator cylinder. Electric current passes through the water between the electrodes, heating the water into steam, which is then
used to humidify the air.
The quality of the water used affects the operation of this unit, so the Elite Steam may be supplied with untreated water, as long as
this is drinkable and not softened or demineralized. The water converted into steam is automatically replaced through an electric fill
valve. Periodically, based on the water quality, the unit will also drain some water to dilute the build-up of minerals in the steam
generator. In cases of high water mineral content, an activated carbon filter is series with a particulate filter, no more than 5 microns
is suggested.
This humidifier has been designed exclusively to directly humidify rooms or ducts, using a distribution system. The installation, use
and maintenance operations must be carried out according to the instructions contained in this manual and on the labels applied
