WARNING!
Hot water vapour - Danger of scalding!
The Condair RH produces hot water vapour. There is danger of scalding when coming in con-
tact with hot water vapour.
Prevention: Do not carry out any work on the steam humidication system during operation (steam
lines, steam distribution unit, etc.). If the steam humidication system is leaky set the Condair RH im-
mediately out of operation as described in Section 6.5. Correctly seal the steam humidication system
before putting the unit into operation again.
WARNING!
Danger of burning!
During operation the components of the steam system (steam cylinder, steam lines, etc.) get
very hot (up to 100 °C). There is danger of burning when touching the hot components.
Prevention: Before carrying out any work on the steam system set the Condair RH out of operation
as described in Section 6.5, then wait until the components have cooled down sufciently thus pre-
venting danger of burning.
WARNING!
High humidity can promote the growth of biological organisms and thereby endanger the
health of people.
Prevention: To prevent this, the duct or steam distribution unit into which the steam is blown must be
cleaned regularly in accordance with the applicable hygiene guidelines.
CAUTION!
The device must not be operated with a DC voltage supply.
