W2055D Humidifier Air Washer
Instructions for use
Foreword
Congratulations on purchasing the W2055A / W2055D Air Washer!
Proper use:
The appliance must only be used for the humidification and cleaning of the air
indoors.
Did you know that excessively dry indoor air
- dries out mucous membranes and causes chapped lips and stinging eyes?
- promotes infections and diseases of the respiratory tract?
- leads to weariness, tiredness and poor concentration?
- is a burden on pets and houseplants?
- promotes the formation of dust and increases the electrostatic charge of textiles made from synthetic fibres, carpets and synthetic floors?
- damages furnishings made from wood, especially parquet floors?
- makes musical instruments go out of tune?
General
The indoor climate is generally pleasant when the relative humidity is between
40 and 60%. Air humidification is especially sensible in winter, but does not
replace the regular airing of living spaces.
Safety instructions
- Read the instructions for use carefully before putting the appliance into operation, and keep in a safe place for later reference.
- Only use the air humidifier in living spaces and within the specified technical data. Incorrect use may be dangerous to health and life .
- Children cannot recognise the dangers associated with the use of electrical devices. For this reason, always supervise children when they are in the vicinity of the air humidifier (Fig. 1).
- Persons who have not familiarised themselves with the instructions for use, as well as children and persons under the influence of medicines, alcohol or drugs, must not operate the unit, or do so only under supervision.
- Never use the appliance if a cable or plug is damaged 2), after the unit malfunctions or if it has fallen to the floor (3), or has been damaged in any other way.
- When fragrancing the air, use the fragrance container provided (also see section «Use of fragrances»). Do not add any additives such as essential oils directly into the water tank or the water base. These additives will damage your appliance! Appliances that are damaged by additives are excluded from the warranty.
- Only use CalcOff for decalcification and cleaning of the product. Damage that is caused by the use of other cleaning agents is not covered by the warranty.
How it works
Your appliance
- washes and humidifies the air without using filter mats
- works quietly in two operation modes
- is manufactured from high-quality, long-life components.
- has a large cleansing capacity through pre-ionisation. The individual dust particles are ionised (charged) and stick to the humidifier disks.
Special humidifying disks rotate in a water bath inside theunit; this cleanses
the air passing over them of impuritiesin a natural way – in the same was that
air is washed bythe rain in nature.
The air humidification takes place according to the selfregulating principle
of cold evaporation. The appliancetherefore generates ideal air humidity,
without the need foradditional control units.
Unpacking
- Remove the appliance carefully from the packaging. Warning: The upper part is only placed loosely on the base (10 – 12).
- Remove the plastic bag from the unit (13).
- Remove all strips of cardboard from the disc pack (14).
- Check the details of the mains supply on the rating plate (15).
- Use the original packaging to store the appliance if you do not use it throughout the year.

Putting into operation
The best location for your appliance is:
- On the floor, or on a level, dry surface in the room.
- Pay proper attention to easy accessibility and sufficient space for servicing and cleaning the unit.
- For increased evaporation performance in large rooms, place the appliance near a radiator (warning: a temperature of 50 °C must not be exceeded).
- Read the section «Filling the tank» on how to fill the water tank (21 – 24).
- Place the water tank on the lower part (25).
- Connect the mains cable to the mains and switch the appliance on using the On/Off switch.
- The unit will reach full capacity about 10 – 15 minutes after you switch it on.
- Ensure that the mains cable is not trapped (9). Do not switch on the unit if the mains cable is defective (2).
Filling the tank
**** Do not operate the appliance when the water tank is empty!
- Remove the water tank (21).
- Ensure that there are no foreign objects in the water tank.
- Remove the water tank cap from the tank (22). Fill the tank with fresh, cold tap water (23). Fully close the bayonet seal to prevent the water tank from leaking (24). Place the water tank on the water base (25). Do not add any additives to the water!
- Do not pressurise the water tank, e.g. by filling it with carbonated mineral water.
- Connect the mains cable to the mains and switch the appliance on.
The appliances are fitted with an automatic cut-off switch.
As soon as the water base is empty, the unit switches off automatically. The
empty indicator illuminates (also see section «Operation»).
Use of fragrances
The base contains a special fragrance container (26). Wadding soaked with
fragrance can be placed in this container. Place fragrances only in the
container provided! Water additives (e.g. essential oils, fragrances, water
conditioners) must NOT be used in the tank or anywhere else in the appliance!
Even a small amount can damage the plastic or cause cracks. The material is
not suitable for the use of additives. One drop is enough to damage the water
tank and therefore render the unit unusable. Appliances that are damaged by
additives are excluded from the warranty. The fragrance container is also used
as a tool for opening the rotary locks of the humidifying disks. To learn more
about removing the disks, refer to section «Cleaning the humidifying disks».
Water quality maintenance (ISS)
The Ionic Silver Stick® (ISS) utilizes the antimicrobial property of silver
and provides one season of optimum waterquality maintenance in all BONECO
humidifiers. The ISSbegins working as soon as it comes into contact with water
– even if the unit is switched
off. The ISS is intendedexclusively for use in humidifiers. Look at picture 27
for theposition of the ISS in the appliance.
Lifecycle indicator
Your appliance comes with a standard lifecycle indicatoron the back of the
upper part for changing the Ionic SilverStick® . To remind yourself of when
you put the ISS intooperation, please cross the current month on the
indicatorand write the current year on the line provided.

A) Rotary switch
Connect the appliance to the mains and turn rotary switch A to position C or D
as required. To switch the appliance off, turn the rotary switch to position
B. B) Switching on/off If the rotary switch is in position B, the
appliance is switched off.
C) Normal mode
If you select position C, then normal mode is set, and the appliance reaches
maximum humidity output.
D) Night mode
If you turn the rotary switch to position D, the appliance works in night mode
and is especially quiet.
E) Operating ligh t
The green light (LED) (E) illuminates when the appliance is switched on. When
the water level is low, the appliance automatically switches off. The LED
display changes from green to red. The appliance automatically continues
operating when filled with
water. (Also see 2nd paragraph of point F in operation W2055D).
Operating W2055D
A) Switching on/off
Turn rotary switch A from the OFF position to position H or G as required.
Position H is especially quiet (night mode). Position G (normal mode) achieves
maximum humidity output. As soon as the appliance is switched on, the display
shows the current relative air humidity. The measurement is accurate to +/-
5%.
B) Setting the humidity output
The appliance is fitted with a hygrostat. This measures the relative air
humidity and automatically switches the appliance off when the desired value
is reached. When switching the unit on using the rotary switch (A), the
desired value is preset to 55%. The desired value can be adjusted in steps of
5% by pressing button B. While selecting the humidity output, the desired
value is blinking. The word DESIRED appears on the display (E). The setting
for the relative humidity ranges from a minimum of 30% to a maximum of 70% . A
relative humidity of between 40 and 60% is recommended. After a few seconds,
the display automatically changesto show the current value (CURRENT) (E). Upon
reaching the desired relative humidity, the unit automatically switches off
(display shows DESIRED and CURRENT) (E). If the desired relative humidity
falls, the appliance automatically switches on again.
Quick display of current relative humidity
When the unit is switched off (mains cable is connected, rotary switch to OFF
setting), the current relative humidity can be shown in the display by briefly
pressing one of the B buttons. This display automatically goes out after a few
seconds.
C) Change Ionic Silver Stick®
The letter C in the display indicates that the Ionic Silver Stick ® (ISS) must
be changed. The symbol remains visible until both B buttons are pressed and
held down for approx. 5 seconds.
D) Cleaning the appliance
The letter D in the display indicates that the appliance must be cleaned. The
letter remains visible until both B buttons are pressed and held down for
approx. 5 seconds.
E) Current/Desired Display
If DESIRED appears on the display, the value in % next to it signifies the
desired relative humidity, i.e. the desired value is shown. If the display
shows CURRENT, then the current relative humidity is shown.
F) Automatic switch-off «Tank empty»
The water quantity is easy to see thanks to the transparent water tank. The
display on the appliance also shows when the unit should be refilled with
water. If the water level falls below the minimum quantity, the appliance
automatically switches off. A red linking symbol (F) appears on the display.
When water is added, symbol F goes out and the appliance continues operating.
Warning: When lifting the upper part off the base, the appliance also switches
off. In this case, the red blinking F symbol will alsoappear on the display.
Only when the upper part is replaced on the base does the LED change from red
to green and the appliance continues operating.
Cleaning/maintenance
