The first farm

As the inner units come into contact with water for the first time, there may be a slight odour at the beginning. This initial smell disappears after a very short time (1-2 days)

Use only clear and clean (or distilled) water below 40°C to fill the humidifier, and do not use any flavourings etc.

Important safety instructions

Only use the recommended voltage for operating the humidifier !
Supervise the humidifier when children are near the appliance !

Instructions for use

Before use

Carefully remove the humidifier from its packaging box and remove all protective packaging. Place the humidifier on a firm, level surface that provides sufficient space for the unit and the user. Give the humidifier about half an hour (to adjust to the room climate) before operating it for the first time.

Commissioning

Remove the water tank by pulling straight up on the handle. Unscrew the twist cap of the water tank and fill it with clean and clear water. Then put it back in place, making sure that the water tank is correctly seated and that the water can drain easily into the collection basin.

Note: Always use only water with a temperature below 40°C !

Wait briefly for a minute so that the water can distribute well in the lower part of the humidifier.

Plug the mains plug of the appliance into a mains socket.

Now turn the operating switch to the right to start humidification operation

OFF = OFF
HIGH = Full operating level
LOW = Low operating level

Turn the operating switch completely to the left again (OFF) to end humidification
operation.

Cleaning & Storage

Preparation for cleaning

Please switch off the appliance first and disconnect the mains plug before cleaning the humidifier.
Remove the water tank and the fan housing by pulling them both vertically upwards and thus detaching them from the base plate.
Now unscrew the water tank and empty it and the collection basin completely of any residual water

Notes: It is best to place the appliance in a washbasin to empty it.

Cleaning the housing and the wet area

Only use mild cleaning agents to clean your humidifier.
Rinse the water tank carefully and wipe it from the outside with a damp cloth. Make sure that there is no residue of the cleaning agents in the tank after cleaning.
Next, clean the water collection basin with a damp cloth. To do this, remove the filter.
When the unit is switched off, all parts of the humidifier can be wiped or cleaned with a soft, damp cloth.

Storage

Remove all water, clean the unit thoroughly and dry it well if you are not going to use the humidifier for a long time. (Allow the unit to dry out completely and please remove all water residues. )
We recommend that you store the dried out and cleaned unit in the original box when not in use.

Humidifier for a better climate and for the benefit of health

Especially during the heating season, the relative humidity often falls below the recommended range for living and working spaces. This has an unfavourable effect on the well-being and health of people and animals and can also promote diseases of the respiratory system if the indoor air is permanently very dry. A too dry climate can also be harmful for inventory and plants. This effect can be counteracted with our humidifier. In the field of human medicine, a balanced humidity of the ambient air is recommended. However, especially in closed, poorly ventilated and well-heated rooms, such values are often fallen short of, which can lead to reduced respiratory performance and impairment of the skin or mucous membranes. This is especially the case in winter, as the cold outside air then has only a low absolute humidity. Therefore, it should be re-humidified by a humidifier after it has been warmed up to room temperature in order to prevent the relative humidity from dropping too much.

In very cold regions or at cold times of the year or at night, the human organism often shows an increased fluid consumption, although the opposite should rather be assumed due to the lack of fluid loss through sweating. This is due to the humidification of the dry inhaled air and the associated loss of water. If the cold outside air is heated during inhalation, its water vapour capacity increases and thus also lowers the relative humidity. In contrast, the saturation deficit increases and the tendency of the liquid lung tissue water to change into the gaseous aggregate state increases. In summer or when the ambient air is warm, the inhaled air is hardly warmed up any further and therefore retains its usuallyhigh relative humidity. If the additional water losses through sweating are not too great here, the body’s water requirement is therefore higher in cold ambient conditions. Increased humidity is beneficial for breathing, as oxygen then reaches the bloodstreammore easily via the alveoli. The skin needs a high level of humidity in order not to dry out, as this is closely linked to skin moisture. Mucous membranes are particularly susceptible to drying out, as they have little protection against evaporation and depend on their high humidity to maintain their functions. Thus, low humidity of the nasal mucosa can result in an increased incidence of nosebleeds. In general, the skin’s immune defence is weakened (increased risk of catching a cold) and its ability to exchange substances is reduced, which particularly affects the oral mucosa. Low humidity also increases the susceptibility to skin irritations or redness or even skin inflammations. Source: www.wikipedia.de
