Start Up; Start-Up Checklist; Starting The Humidifier - GeneralAire 5500 Manuel D'installation Et D'utilisation

1. Before starting, check that there are no water leaks and
that the electrical components are dry.
2. DO NOT connect power if the humidifier is damaged or
even partially wet!
When installation is completed, flush the supply pipe for
10 minutes by piping water directly into the drain without
sending it into the humidifier. This will eliminate any scale or
residue that may cause foam when boiling.
