Hi Dave,
The reason for the "warm up time" is not detailed in the
paperwork I saw/read. But I have seen examples of
operation when the instructions were ignored. The
estimated cost was about $800 for a replacement
valve.
cheers

This "warm up" time is not for the purpose of degassing
.............
it is only for the proper operation of the tube and usually prescribed by
the
manufacturer. Sort of like not starting your automobile which has been
sitting oustside in sub-zero weather and immediately running the engine
at max RPM
in race car mode instead of warming it up gently.
