MiniSteam Instruction Manual - HygroMatik

Note: Please contact HygroMatik if you wish to operate the unitwith softened water.If using a water softening system, we recommend diluting thesoftened water with normal tap water to produce an overall hardnessbetween 4-8°dH. This value can be set lower if the waterdoes not foam.When blending softened water with deionized water (conductivity= 5-20 µS / cm) it is to ensure that the mixture neither foamsnor is too low in conductivity.When feed water contains softened water, the level of conductivityis typically higher at operating temperature. Install a Hygro-Matik "cylinder star" to extend the service life of the electrodes.6.2 Water Supply» Install a shut-off valve (SV) in the supply line.» Install a water filter (WF) if water quality requires it.Note: Shut-off valve (SV) and water filter (WF) are not suppliedwith the unit» HygroMatik provides a water hose (56) with a cap nut atboth ends which can be used for water installation.Install as follows:» Screw and tighten the cap nut with its inner seal ringaround the water supply screw connection that protrudesfrom the base.Note: Tightening too much will destroy the fitting. The valvestrainer must be placed inside the solenoid valve.Page 20
