GENERAL WARNINGS

The CAREL Industries humidifi ers are advanced products, whose operation is 
specifi ed in the technical documentation supplied with the product or can 
be downloaded, even prior to purchase, from the website www.carel.com. 
Each CAREL Industries product, in relation to its advanced level of technology, 
requires setup/confi guration/programming/commissioning to be able to 
operate in the best possible way for the specifi c application. The failure to 
complete such operations, which are required/indicated in the user manual, 
may cause the fi nal product to malfunction; CAREL Industries accepts no 
liability in such cases. The customer (manufacturer, developer or installer of 
the fi nal equipment) accepts all liability and risk relating to the confi guration 
of the product in order to reach the expected results in relation to the specifi c 
fi nal installation and/or equipment. CAREL Industries may, based on specifi c 
agreements, acts as a consultant for the installation/commissioning/use of the 
unit, however in no case does it accept liability for the correct operation of the 
humidifi er and the fi nal installation if the warnings or suggestions provided 
in this manual or in other product technical documents are not heeded. In 
addition to observing the above warnings and suggestions, the following 
warnings must be followed for the correct use of the product: 

• 

DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK 

: The humidifi er contains live electrical 

components. Disconnect the power supply before accessing inside parts 
or during maintenance and installation.

• 

DANGER OF WATER LEAKS: 

The humidifi er automatically and constantly 

fi lls/drains certain quantities of water. Malfunctions in the connections or in 
the humidifi er may cause leaks.

IMPORTANT

• 

The installation of the product must include an earth connection, using the 
special yellow-green terminal available in the humidifi er.

• 

The environmental and power supply conditions must conform to the 
values specifi ed on the product rating labels. 

• 

The product is designed exclusively to humidify rooms either directly or 
through distribution systems (ducts). 

• 

Only qualifi ed personnel who are aware of the necessary precautions and 
able to perform the required operations correctly may install, operate or 
carry out technical service on the product. 

• 

Only water with the characteristics indicated in this manual must be used. 

• 

All operations on the product must be carried out according to the 
instructions provided in this manual and on the labels applied to the 
product. Any uses or modifi cations that are not authorized by the 
manufacturer are considered improper. CAREL Industries declines all 
liability for any such unauthorized use. 

• 

Do not attempt to open the humidifi er in ways other than those specifi ed 
in the manual.

• 

Observe the standards in force in the place where the humidifi er is installed.

• 

Keep the humidifi er out of the reach of children and animals. 

• 

Do not install and use the product near objects that may be damaged when 
in contact with water (or condensate). CAREL Industries declines all liability 
for direct or indirect damage following water leaks from the humidifi er. 

• 

Do not use corrosive chemicals, solvents or aggressive detergents to clean 
the inside and outside parts of the humidifi er, unless specifi cally indicated 
in the user manual.

• 

Do not drop, hit or shake the humidifi er, as the inside parts and the linings 
may be irreparably damaged.

CAREL Industries adopts a policy of continual development. Consequently, 
CAREL reserves the right to make changes and improvements to any product 
described in this document without prior warning. The technical specifi cations 
shown in the manual may be changed without prior warning. The liability 
of CAREL Industries in relation to its products is specifi ed in the CAREL

subsequent recycling, treatment or disposal, as required by law;

2. 

users are required to take Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) at end-
of-life, complete with all essential components, to the WEEE collection 
centres identifi ed by local authorities. The directive also provides for the 
possibility to return the equipment to the distributor or retailer at end-of-
life if purchasing equivalent new equipment, on a one-to-one basis, or 
one-to-zero for equipment less than 25 cm on their longest side;

3. 

this equipment may contain hazardous substances: improper use or 
incorrect disposal of such may have negative eff ects on human health 
and on the environment;

4. 

the symbol (crossed-out wheeled bin – Fig.1) even if, shown on the 
product or on the packaging, indicates that the equipment must be 
disposed of separately at end-of-life;

5. 

if at end-of-life the EEE contains a battery (Fig. 2), this must be removed 
following the instructions provided in the user manual before disposing 
of the equipment. Used batteries must be taken to appropriate waste 
collection centres as required by local regulations;

6. 

in the event of illegal disposal of electrical and electronic waste, the 
penalties are specifi ed by local waste disposal legislation.
