INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the BONECO U700. This high-performance ultrasonic humidifier keeps the humidity at a comfortable level at all times. The BONECO U700 is designed for convenient, fully au-tomated operation. However, you can adjust all of its fea-tures according to your preferences and requirements. This manual shows you how you can create your own comfortable climate.

VALUABLE INFORMATION ABOUT HUMIDITY
The right humidity is very important for our health. Dry room air in the winter leads to skin that cracks and itches. It makes your eyes and throat feel dry while significantly affecting physical comfort. Not only does this affect adults, it is especially true for infants, small children and even pets. Dry mucous membranes in the winter also make us more prone to colds and other infections. The BONECO U700 makes these problems a distant memory. Its intelligent automatic controls always keep the humidity at the ideal level, even in large rooms with an area of up to 80 square meters (860 square feet).

You will not want to give up your newly gained comfort.

ITEMS INCLUDED

THE RIGHT LOCATION

The BONECO U700 releases more than half a liter of water into the air per hour. This makes it important to set up the appliance in the right location.

• Do not place the BONECO U700 directly on the floor, since the moisture from the mist can damage floor surfaces such as parquet or delicate carpeting.
• Make sure that the appliance stands about 30 centimeters (one foot) away from the closest wall.
• Do not direct the mist toward the wall, plants, furniture, or other objects in order to prevent water condensation from damaging them. Maintain a distance of at least 50 cm (20 inches).

HUMIDITY AND HUMIDIFIER

SAVE SETTINGS
The BONECO U700 saves the last-used settings when it is switched off. However, if the appliance is disconnected from the power supply for a few seconds, it will start in the operating mode.

AUTO MODE
In mode the humidification is controlled automatically and the humidity is set to 50%. As soon as the hu-midity or the humidifier is manually adjusted, however, the appliance leaves mode.

To return to AUTO mode, tap the symbol once.

The heater can be switched on or off without the appliance leaving mode. mode also remains ac-tive when setting the timer.

CONTROLLING HUMIDITY
The humidity can be set between 30% and 70%. In the “Co” setting (for “Continuous”), the humidifier runs re-gardless of the measured humidity. This means it does not switch off until the tank is empty or the appliance is switched off.

2. While the indicator is flashing, tap the symbol again, until the desired humidity is set.
   The value is applied after a few seconds. The indicator stops flashing.

REGULATE THE OUTPUT

Tap the symbol multiple times, until the desired level appears on the display.

The symbol on the display shows which of the three levels (low/medium/high) has been selected:

COMFORT FUNCTIONS AND MOOD LIGHT

SWITCHING THE HEATER ON AND OFF
The BONECO U700 is equipped with a heater that can be turned on and off. It warms the outgoing mist up to ap-proximately 35 °C (95 °F), so that the room temperature stays at a comfortable level.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
With time and use, the performance of the Ionic Silver Stick® decreases and scale builds up on the inner parts of the BONECO U700. Stagnant water can also impair clean-liness and lead to unpleasant odors. This means regular maintenance and cleaning is necessary to ensure clean and unimpaired operation.

Recommended cleaning and maintenance intervals vary depending on air and water quality, and length of opera-tion.

Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the exterior.

• Always unplug the unit from the power outlet before cleaning.

Interval/Task

• Daily Check the water level; add water if necessary
• After 3 days without operation Empty and clean the BONECO U700
• Every 2 weeks Clean the water base and water tank
• Every 2-6 months Replace the A250 AQUA PRO
• Yearly Replace the Ionic Silver Stick®

DESCALING

CLEANING FUNCTION
The BONECO U700 is equipped with a descaling function. All you need is a packet of BONECO CalcOff. One of these packets is included with the appliance. You can obtain more CalcOff bags from your BONECO specialist dealer or our online store at www.shop.boneco.com.

The BONECO U700 uses this symbol to indicate that descaling is needed:

PROCEDURE
During descaling, the water is heated by the heater for 5 minutes and then pauses for 25 minutes each time. This process repeats until the cleaning time has elapsed. The cleaning time can be set between 1 and 4 hours. As a rule: The longer the cleaning process, the better the results.

DESCALING THE APPLIANCE

1. Switch off the BONECO U700.

2. Empty the water base and the water tank.

3. Remove the Ionic Silver Stick® and the A250 AQUA PRO.

4. Mix 1 packet of CalcOff with 1 liter (a quarter gallon) of water and pour the mixture into the water tank.

5. Place the water tank back onto the base of the unit.

6. Press the symbol for 3 seconds. Descaling starts.

7. Tap the  symbol repeatedly to set the desired cleaning time. The cleaning time increases by one-hour increments (max. 4 hours).
   The symbol for the cleaning mode flashes on the display. The BONECO U700 switches off automatically once the cleaning time has elapsed.

8. Empty the water base and fill the water tank with tap water. The cleaning symbol goes out. The BONECO U700 is ready for use again.

REMOVING LIMESCALE RESIDUE
Stubborn limescale residue on the membrane can be removed using the yellow brush stored inside the BONECO U700.

Never clean the membrane using sharp objects or aggressive cleaning agents; doing so can damage the BONECO U700 and voids the warranty!

REPLACING THE IONIC SILVER STICK

HOW IT WORKS
The Ionic Silver Stick® prevents the growth of bacteria in water, making a vital contribution to health and cleanliness. The Ionic Silver Stick® is also subject to wear and has to be replaced regularly. The display indicates an upcoming need to replace the Ionic Silver Stick® with this symbol:
