User'smanual
Prior to using this appliance, please read the user'smanual thoroughly, even in cases,
when one has already familiarised themselves with previous use of similar types of
appliances. Only use the appliance in the manner described in this user'smanual. Keep
this user'smanual in asafe place where it can be easily retrieved for future reference.
We recommend saving the original cardboard box, packaging material, purchase
receipt and responsibility statement of the vendor or warranty card for at least the
duration of the legal liability for unsatisfactory performance or quality. In the event of
transportation, we recommend that you pack the appliance in the original box from

HOW THE HUMIDIFIER WORKS AND ITS FEATURES
■ A humidier eectively increases indoor air humidity and thereby improves air
quality and has apositive eect on human health. It acts preventively against drying
out of the mucous membrane in the respiratory tract and prevents respiratory
illnesses. Its use is recommended primarily during the heating season, when, as
arule, indoor air is predominantly dry.
■ The SHF 2050BL / SHF 2051GR Humidier works on the principle of ahigh frequency
ultrasound oscillator. Thanks to this technology, it produces cold steam and does
not aect the temperature in the room. The humidifying performance is adjustable
and essential oils can be used to create a pleasant indoor atmosphere. With
a humidifying performance of 250 ml/h, it is suitable for rooms up to an area of
30 m
2
. Its large 4-litre water tank guarantees an operating time of up to 16 hours per
single rell. When there is an insucient amount of water in the tank, asignal is lit
and, at the same time, aprotective function is activated, which automatically shuts
o the humidier to prevent its damage. The automatic shut o is also activated,
when the water tank is removed during operation.

OPERATING LOCATION OF THE HUMIDIFIER, ITS ASSEMBLY
AND FILLING THE WATER TANK
1. Always place the humidier on an even, dry and stable surface at a minimum
distance of:
– 60 cm from the oor;
– 30 cm from walls or sides of furniture;
– 200 cm from electrical and electronic devices or materials sensitive to moisture
to prevent their damage by the eects of increased humidity.
2. Make sure that the humidier is turned o and disconnected from the power socket.
Remove the nozzle A1 and lift the water tank A4 o the base unit A9. Turn it upside
down and turn anticlockwise to unscrew the plug of the lling opening A5 and
remove it.
3. Fill the water tank A4 with clean cold tap water. After lling up the water tank A4,
properly secure the plug A5 by turning it clockwise all the way. Turn the water tank
A4 upside down with the plug A5 facing downwards and place it back on to the
base unit A9 so that both parts t into each other properly. When the water tank A4
is placed on the base unit A9, water will start to be pumped into the water holder A6.
Attention:
The water tank A4 is lled with water up to 40 °C.
If you need to move the humidier, be especially careful not to spill the
water contained in the water holder A6.
4. After opening it, you may add afew drops of essential oil into the essential oil holder
A2 as shown in gure B1. Before using any essential oils, please ask the vendor or
an expert about its eects and correct dosage. Do not add anything other than
essential oils to the essential oil holder A2. After adding essential oil, close the
essential oil holder A2, see gure B2.
5. Place the nozzle A1 into the steam outlet A3.
USING THE HUMIDIFIER
1. Check that the humidier is correctly assembled. Connect the power cord to
apower socket. Turn the control dial A11 clockwise to turn on the humidier. The
indicator A10 will be lit green. The humidier will start producing cold steam within
a few moments. Ensure that during operation that the steam is not directed at
furniture or items sensitive to moisture. The steam exhaust direction can be set by
turning the nozzle A1 to the required angle.
2. Use the control dial A11 to increase or decrease steam output intensity during
operation. Turn the control dial A11 clockwise to increase steam output, turn it in
the opposite direction to reduce steam output. If you ll the water tank A4 up to the
edge, the expected operating time is up to 16 hours with the steam output set to
maximum intensity.
Attention:
If the humidier was transported at a temperature below the freezing
point, rst put it into room temperature and wait approx. 30 minutes before
turning it on.
Use the humidier at an ambient temperature of 5 to 40 °C and at arelative
humidity of up to 60 %. In the event that the ambient temperature falls
below 0 °C, turn the humidier o and remove the water inside the water
tank A4 and the water holder A6, to prevent it from being damaged.
Do not lift the water tank A4 out of the base unit A9 or touch the nebulizer
A8 while the humidier is running. For the event that the water tank A4 is
removed during operation, the humidier is equipped with a protective
automatic shut o function.
3. If the water level in the water holder A6 runs low, the indicator A10 will be lit red and
the humidier will automatically stop producing steam. This is asafety function to
prevent the nebulizer A8 from being damaged.
If necessary, ll up the water according to the instructions in point 2 and 3 in chapter
Operating location of the humidier, its assembly and lling the water tank. Then
you can start the humidier again.
4. To turn o the humidier, turn the control dial A11 anticlockwise all the way. The
indicator A10 will turn o. Disconnect the humidier from the power socket and
clean it out according to the instructions contained in the chapter Cleaning and
maintenance.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
■ Before cleaning the humidier, turn it o and disconnect it from the power socket.
■ Please adhere to the following instructions relating to the cleaning and maintenance
of the humidier. Otherwise its performance may be negatively aected and
undesirable microorganisms may multiply inside the humidier.
Clean after every use
■ Remove the nozzle A1 from the steam outlet A3. Then take out the essential oil
holder A2 and clean out any remaining essential oil, and then put it back in its place.
Take the water tank A4 o the base unit A9, carry it to akitchen sink, turn it upside
down and open the lock A5. Remove any remaining water from it via the lling
opening, rinse it out with clean water and dry the surface using ane wiping cloth.
Finally, attach the lock A5 to the water tank A4, and insert the nozzle A1 into the
outlet A3.
■ Remove the water from the water holder A6 and wipe it dry using ane clean cloth.
Thorough cleaning (once per week)
■ Pour approximately 100 ml of vinegar into the water holder A6 and allow it to act for
15 minutes. Using abrush with gentle bristles, remove the limescale deposits in the
water holder A6 and the nebulizer A8. Then clean out all the remaining limescale
and vinegar using acloth dampened in clean water and wipe dry.
■ Thoroughly clean out the essential oil holder A2 under running water or using
adampened cloth and then put it back in its place.
Attention:
Do not leave water in the water tank A4 or in the water holder A6 for longer
than aweek.
Do not touch the nebulizer A8 with sharp objects in order not to damage it.
■ Clean the outer surface of the humidier as required using ane clean cloth lightly
dampened in lukewarm water.
■ Do not submerge the base unit A9 in water or rinse it under running water. For
cleaning, do not use abrasive cleaning products, solvents, etc. Otherwise, this could
damage the surface of the appliance.
