1. Signs and symbols
The following symbols appear in the instructions for use and on the type plate:
WARNING Warning notice indicating a risk of injury or damage to health.
IMPORTANT Safety note indicating possible damage to the device /accessory or material
damage,
e.g. through escaping water.
Note Note on important information.
2. Getting to know your instrument
Humans spend a large proportion of their time indoors. For ideal ambient air, a humidity level of between
40% and 60% is recommended. This value is often not reached, particularly in winter, when cold, dry air
enters living spaces that are being aired and is then warmed up.
This dry ambient air draws in moisture, drying out mucous membranes and skin, but also furniture.
Ambient air that is too dry has a number of negative effects:
•
Mucous membranes and lips dry out
•
E
yes become irritated
•
I
nfections and respiratory diseases are more likely to occur
•
E
xhaustion, tiredness and difficulty concentrating
•
P
ets and plants are put under unnecessary strain
•
D
ust forms more quickly
•
E
lectrostatic charging of textiles and synthetic fibres, such as carpets and plastic floor coverings
•
W
ooden furniture, and especially parquet floors, are damaged
•
M

IMPORTANT
•
Do not add any essential oils or fragrances to the water. If other additives are used, the plastic
material and the ultrasound membrane may become discoloured and damaged.
•
Use fresh drinking water in the device.
•
Use warm water (30°C – 45°C) and always fill the tank to the maximum level, otherwise the device
could leak due to physical factors.
Positioning the device
•
Place the air humidifier on a firm, level and water-resistant surface.
•
Position the air humidifier in the vicinity of a heating pad to improve evaporation output, particularly in
large rooms (do not exceed a max. temperature of 50 °C). Always ensure that the air inlet and air outlet
remain clear and that the air flows freely.
7. Operation
IMPORTANT
Check the humidity of your ambient air regularly. Intensive continuous operation can cause the am-
bient air to become excessively humid. The relative air humidity should not exceed 60%.
Switching on the device
•
I
nsert the plug into the mains socket.
•
F
rom the min./ position, turn the control dial to the right. The blue illuminated operating loop lights
up. If there is not enough water or no water at all in the water tank, a red LED lights up. The device has
switched off for safety reasons.
•
U
se the control dial to set the desired evaporation output. Evaporation output is limited to a maximum
of 550 ml per hour.
• When the device is switched on, the water evaporation level is already set to 1; a single blue LED shows
the operation. By pushing the middle control knob (
), the water evaporation level increases to 2 (second
blue LED lights up). By pressing it again, both LEDs turn on – level 3. (Evaporation level). The evaporation
process is switched off completely when the button is pressed again (no LED on).
•
C
heck the water level regularly during operation and refill the tank if necessary.
Note
You may optionally add drops of aroma/scented oils to the aroma compartment (13). These will lend
a pleasant odour to the room.
8. Cleaning and storage
Regular cleaning is a prerequisite for hygienic and fault-free operation.
The air humidifier can be dismantled easily and without tools for cleaning.
Always empty and thoroughly clean the air humidifier if the device contains water and has not been operated
for longer than 3 days.
A lack of cleaning and hygiene can cause bacteria, algae and fungi to form in the water.
In any case, we recommend the following cleaning intervals.
Every three
days
As required
x Cleaning the ultrasound membrane with a brush, rinsing the base
x Rinsing the water tank, replacing the water
x Clean the air humidifier inside and out
x Descaling

NOTE
•
T
he evaporation pan is hot during operation. Allow the device to cool sufficiently before cleaning it.
1) Hold the air outlet in one hand and turn it gently
backwards.
2) Hold the air outlet firmly and remove it.
3) If necessary, remove the anti-lime pad.
4) Clean the evaporation pan with the cleaning
brush.

supplied.
Anti-limescale filter (optional)
Order number 162.843. Please contact the national service address.
NOTE
•
I
f the anti-limescale filter does not prevent limescale build-up, or if white
deposits form on or in the device, the anti-limescale filter should be replaced.
•
T
he service life of the anti-limescale filter is around two to three months at
most.
•
I
f the device is not used for a relatively long time, the anti-limescale filter must
be removed from the water tank and dried out.
