• Do not use accessories that are not supplied.

APPOINTMENT OF THE DEVICE

A humidifier increases relative air humidity in a room and stabilizes its microclimate, allowing to avoid harmful conditions of low humidity. Comfortable conditions are achieved at relative air humidity of 40 to 60%. Insufficient air humidity results in dehumidification of mucous membranes which is the cause of decrease in immunity, head ache, cracking of lips, “sandpaper” in the eyes, also insufficient air humidity enables development of infection and causes respiratory illnesses, fatigue, increased eye fatigue and worsening of concentration, and has negative effect on pets and indoor plants, causes increased dust generation and electrostatic charging of synthetic fabrics.

IMPORTANT!

For the operation of the device, it is better to use purified water from household water filter. It is necessary for the life time of the humidifier. With purified water there will be no white spots around the device.
White spots around the device are a salt of calcium and magnesium, which are part of ordinary tap water. When using unpurified water, they are discharged with steam and deposited on surrounding objects and surfaces. Although these substances are safe for people, in large quantities they can have harmful effects on furniture.

• Do not fill the tank with other liquids but filtered tap water. Different composition of liquids has harmful effect on internal parts of the device and causes malfunctions.
• Do not fill the unit or the water tank with such additives as essential oils, fragrances, cleaning agents, chemical medical drugs, warm water (above 40°C), etc. Otherwise, the water tank and internal parts of the unit will be damaged and inoperable. Do not fill water directly into the internal parts of the unit or the atomizer.
• Water inside the unit may cause malfunctions of the unit.
• Do not hit or throw the water tank. It may get damaged resulting in water leaks. Do not use the unit in case if the water tank is heavily hit. Immediately contact the technical support service or the maintenance and repair station.
• Every day fill the tank with fresh filtered water and keep the unit clean.

OPERATION OF THE DEVICE

Switching on

Install the appliance vertically on a flat and dry surface, fill the tank with water then connect the device to the power line. Turn on/off and steam outlet intensity knob all the way to the right. The appliance will switch on, the blue operation indicator will light up on the control panel and steam will start coming from the atomizer. At the very
beginning of operation, the atomizing level may appear unstable, which is caused bythe temperature difference and water quality. It will take a short period time for this process to stabilize.

Adjusting steam outlet intensity

You can adjust steam intensity by turning on/off and steam outlet intensity knob to the left or right. Comfortable conditions are reached at 40 to 60% relative air humidity. You can yourself determine the comfortable humidity level or use a special device called a hygrometer (not included in the set), measuring the relative humidity level.

ATTENTION!

If a large amount of condensate is generated on the upper part of the appliance when it is operating, then you need to decrease the steam outlet intensity by turning on/off and steam outlet intensity knob counterclockwise.

Automatic switching off when there is no water

When water level in the tank drops below minimal level, the ultrasonic membrane will automatically switch off and the red indicator will light up on the control panel. To continue operation of the appliance it is necessary to fill the tank with water according to «Filling the water tank» paragraph, and then connect the appliance to the electric mains.

Adding essential oils

Pour three or five drops of essential oil in the aroma box (aroma box is located under the water filing cap. It has the cloth on which the oil must be put). After adding, outlet steam will contain the smell of essential oils.

ATTENTION!

Add the essential oil only in the aroma box Don’t pour the oil directly in the water Water-soluble essential oils must be used

Switching off

To switch the appliance off, turn on/off and steam outlet intensity knob all the way to the left and disconnect the appliance from the electric mains.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Before cleaning the appliance, make sure it is unplugged. Otherwise, it may result in electric shock.
• Before cleaning, in order not to burn your hands, wait until the water in the base of the appliance has completely cooled.
• Use a damp and soft cloth to wipe the outside of the appliance.
• To avoid electric shock, do not scratch or damage the components of the device when cleaning.

• Rinse the water tank cover and nozzle carefully and effortlessly with fresh water, otherwise this will cause water to leak through the cover.
• After removing any remaining water from the surface of nozzle, wipe it with a soft cloth.
• Clean the outside of the appliance with a damp and soft cloth.

IMPORTANT!

• To avoid deformation of working surfaces, resulting in decreased atomizing or other malfunctions, do not use metallic brushes, blades or talc powder to wipe the atomizer’s surface.
• The water tank may leak after heavy impacts.
• In case of water leakage, immediately stop using the unit and contact an authorized service center.
• To keep the unit dry, wipe the water after cleaning and dry the unit’s base and water tank. Make sure that there is no water left inside the unit’s base and water tank.

• Store the unit in a low-humidity room.
• Storing the unit undried results in generation of mold. To clean the water tank and parts of the base of the device from salt deposits, use citric acid:
• for 1 liter of hot water, take 1 tablespoon of citric acid and mix well;
• pour the solution into the tank and put it on the base of the humidifier (water from the tank will automatically fall into the base of the device);
• leave the humidifier for 10-12 hours – do not turn it on;
• after the time has passed, remove the solution from the device along with the exfoliated parts of the salt coating;
• if it is difficult to remove plaque – use a special brush for the base of the humidifier (if this is not supplied, you can use a toothbrush). For the tank – pour 0.5-1 cups of dry rice into cold water or a cooled citric acid solution and shake until the plaque is peeled off;
