Replacing A Carel HumiSteam Humidifier Cylinder

 

Easy guide to replacing your humiSteam cylinder




Important: The cylinder must only be replaced by qualified personnel, and with the humidifier unplugged from the power supply.
In normal conditions, the disposable cylinders should be replaced after one year (or 2500 hours of operation, if cleaned periodically), whilst the cleanable cylinders last 5 years (or 10,000 hours of operation, if cleaned periodically). They must be replaced immediately – even before the specified intervals – if any anomalies occur. For example, when the lime scale inside the cylinder prevents the correct flow of electric current. 

Replacement Procedure
  • Firstly the humidifier needs to be turned off using the rocker switch on the front of the humidifier (0 = Off) and as a safety procedure the mains disconnect switch on the power supply need to be open;

  • The cylinder then needs to be drained of water. To do this mechanically you need to make sure the humidifier is not powered and then activate the mechanical drain device under the cylinder (see figure below);

  • Wait for the humidifer and cylinder to cool down and then disconnect the electrical cables and steam hose from the cylinder;
  • Release the cylinder from the locking device and then lift it to remove it;

  • Make sure the model and the power supply of the new cylinder corresponds to the rated data and then insert and fasten the new cylinder;

  • Reconnect the electrical cables and steam hose to the new cylinder and replace the humidifier cover;

  • Close the mains disconnect switch on the power supply and turn on the humidifier using the rocker switch on the front of the humidifier (1 = On);
  • The cylinder operating hour counter now needs to be reset and the new cylinder flushed;
  • To do this press the PRG button on the main screen to access the main menu;

  • Using the down arrow scroll to the Maintenace Menu and press enter to access it;

  • Press enter again and then use the up or down arrows to enter the password 77;

  • Press enter to confirm and access the Maintenance Menu;
  • Using the down arrow scroll to "4. Change cylinder" and press enter to access;

  • Complete the following procedures;
