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;

• 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);
