Cleaning
-
The appliance must be cleaned more often the harder the water is. Too much lime disturbs the correct working of the appliance and leads to the formation of scale. In this case use boiled or distilled water. In any case do not use carbonated mineral water!
-
Unplug the appliance first.
Never immerse the appliance into water. -
The appliance must be unplugged and the water must be removed from the base and out of the water tank by opening the cover at the bottom of the water tank and pour out the water.
Only close the water tank again when the appliance should be used again, else the water tank should dry up completely. -
Scale remains at the base, the transductor and the water tank should be wiped away. It is essential, that the transductor is not damaged. When there is excessive scale some scale remover should be used or fill vinegar in the bassin. After some time, depending on deposit, the scale dissolved. After this the base must be cleaned completely with clean water. The filter should be put into salty water (1 spoon salt per litre) for one day for recovery. Then rinse the filter with clear water and shake it and then let it dry.
-
Steba tipp: Weekly cleaning avoids white sediments. Bacteria and germs will not have a chance! When the device is regularly used, its cleaning will be easier and quicker.
-
Carefully clean the ultrasonic membrane at the bottom part with a brush. Scale reduces the atomization. Reassemble the appliance and store in a dry place up till next usage.
Before the first use :
After a longer non use of the appliance the water filter should be placed for
20 min in salty water. Positive ions make the water softer.
Important note – Filling in of water :
Remove the lid and slightly pull out the tank sloping backwards. The tank cap
with the water filter is opened by turning the tank cap counter-clockwise (it
is located under the water tank No. 4). Then you can fill in cold water in the
filler neck. Tightly close the tank cap with the water filter. Place the water
tank correctly on the support No. 8 so that it can properly work.
Start-up of the device :
Connect the plug with the mains socket. A beep sound is heard, and the display
shows the current room temperature and humidity, and standby is indicated in
red in the down left corner of the display. The water tank is lit by a blue
LED. The standby operation consumes 0,8 watt.
Press the Power button The standby symbol disappears from the display, and your air humidifier starts immediately. 1-6 bars are shown on the display, and water vapour comes down from the water tank through the directed nozzles (No.
- which you may turn by 360 degrees. When no or not enough water is left in
the tank, just a red drip is flashing on the display, and 10 beep sounds can
be heard from the device. Refill water as described in (Filling in of water).
The device re-starts immediately after the full water tank has been placed in position again.
After approx. 1 minute, the display lighting (-50%) changes over to sleep mode to save energy. As soon as you press a button, the lighting of the display returns.
ON/OFF
By touching the “on/off” button, the appliance will be turned on/off. Each time you touch a beep signal sounds, the display lights up. Some minutes later, the display light turns off again.
Humidity
By pressing the “Humidity” button you can adjust the humidity in a range from
45 to 90% in steps of 5 %. The setup flashes on the display. Recommended
humidity is 45%-60%.
About 5 seconds later the display shows the relative room humidity. As soon as
the device has reached the adjusted humidity in the room, it switches off.
Ultrasound
- By pressing the “ultrasound” button you can adjust the atomization power. The intensity is shown in two bars on the display.
- Please note: In the program Humidity, your air humidifier controls the water vapour automatically.
- By means of the Max/Min button, you change the water vapour and so the quantity of sprayed water.
- 1 – 9 bars are displayed at maximum. Consumption 30 watts
- 1 – 3 bars are displayed at minimum. Consumption 20 watts
- Your air humidifier always starts with the medium program
- The percentage of water mist in a room and the air temperature are together the relative humidity. The correlation between mist and air is varying at the different temperatures. The higher the temperature is, the less water mist can be in the air.
- in winter time the cold air comes from the outside and gets warmer by the room temperature. The relative humidity is getting lower. The humidity must be increased by a humidifier.
- The relative humidity in a room should be:
bedroom or living room: 45-60%
sickroom: 40-50%
library: 40-50%
Timer
By pressing the “timer” button you can adjust the time up to 12 hours in steps of one hour. The display flashed in a 30 seconds rotation the room temperature and the Timer.
Heating
By pressing the “heating” button the water will be slightly preheated to guarantee that the water mist does not withdraw too much temperature from the ambient air. Energy consumption 100W.
Ionization
By pressing the “Ionization” button the water mist will be enriched with
negative ions. This effect is like after a summer thunderstorm.
Quantity of ions per cubic centimeter of air:
at high mountain 8000 ion/ccm
at the sea 4000ion/ccm
at the countryside 1200ion/ccm
in the city 200ion/ccm
in the office only 20 ion/ccm
Water level
The appliance makes a 10 times beep sound and shows the pictogram “water level” in the display if not enough water is left in the tank. Please remove all water out of the tank if the appliance is not used for a couple of days to prevent the formation of mold and algea.
Remote control
Symbols on the remote control are the same as on the device.
