Getting to know your instrument
Humans spend a large proportion of their time indoors. For ideal ambient air, a humidity level of between 40% and 60% is recommended. This value is often not reached, particularly in winter, when cold, dry air enters living spaces that are being aired and is then warmed up. This dry ambient air draws in moisture, drying out mucous membranes and skin, but also furniture.
Ambient air that is too dry has a number of negative effects
- Mucous membranes and lips dry out
- Eyes become irritated
- Infections and respiratory diseases are more likely to occur
- Exhaustion, tiredness and difficulty concentrating
- Pets and plants are put under unnecessary strain
- Dust forms more quickly
- Electrostatic charging of textiles made of synthetic fibres, such as carpets and plastic floor coverings
- Wooden furniture and, especially, parquet floors, are damaged
- Musical instruments go out of tune
With this air humidifier, you can bring additional humidity into the ambient air – everywhere: at home, on the move or in the office. You only require a standard plastic water bottle that you use as a water tank with the adapter provided. For this reason, and due to its compact size, this air humidifier can be taken with you when you travel and mounted on a small surface. With the storage pouch, all of the accessories are always close at hand.

Operation
IMPORTANT
- Never touch the ultrasonic membrane during operation.
- Do not add any essential oils or fragrances to the water. This would damage the ultrasonic source.
- Operate the air humidifier only when it has been completely assembled and is fully functioning.
- Use a plastic bottle no larger than 0.5 litres or fill a bottle with a maximum of 0.5 litres. Otherwise, the raised water pressure may cause the air humidifier to overflow.
- Operate the air humidifier only with top and mist outlet mounted so as to avoid splashing in the vicinity.
- Never use liquids other than water.
- Please observe the safety notes and the additional notes so as to avoid damage.
Initial use
- Remove the packaging material.
- Check the device, mains plug and cable for damage.
- Place the air humidifier on a even, firm, flat and humidity-resistant surface. Ensure that the air humidifier cannot be knocked over.
- Position the air humidifier in a raised place, e.g. a table, chest of drawers, chair or bedside table. To avoid damage from the escaping mist, the device must not be placed on the floor.
- Ensure than the top is placed firmly on the base. Pull the mist outlet upwards until it noticeably engages. For this purpose, you must overcome the rest resistance in the initial position with a forceful tug.
- Make sure that the escaping mist is not directed at the bottle, wall, plug socket or other objects and that the air outlet always remains free.
- Fill a 0.5 litre plastic water bottle with clean tap water, distilled water or still water. Do not use carbonated water. The manufacturer expressly recommends the use of distilled water so as to avoid limescale. The water temperature may be a maximum of 50 °C, so as to avoid damage to the device.
- Fasten a bottle adapter onto the bottle. There are two adapters available that fit most standard plastic bottles:
- PC 1810” thread with a thread diameter of 28 mm and
- 30/25” thread with a thread diameter of 30 mm.
- Turn the bottle upside down and place it in the top of the air humidifier. Do not compress the plastic bottle. The base will fill with water automatically.
- Connect the power supply unit connector plug with the connector socket of the air humidifier and insert the power supply unit into the socket. Ensure that the cable does not pose a trip hazard.
- Turn the control dial clockwise (to the right) to switch on the air humidifier.
Use the device and switch off.
IMPORTANT
- The immediate vicinity of the air humidifier may become damp. Reduce the nebulisation performance or put the device in a more suitable place.
- Calcareous water can leave white deposits. Use distilled water instead.
- If the device should accidentally tip over, water may escape, even if the device is switched off and unplugged.
- Check the humidity of your ambient air regularly. Intensive continuous operation can cause the ambient air to become excessively humid. The relative air humidity should not exceed 60%.
- By turning the control dial to the right, you can adjust the nebulisation performance between “MIN” and “MAX”.
- Through operation, the device and the water in the base warm-up.
- To switch the air humidifier on again, turn the control dial to the left.
- Device automatically switches off if the water runs out.
- Switch off the device when refilling the bottle with water. Change the water in the bottle every day so that fresh water is always taken in.
- Switch off the device and pull out the plug when you are not using the air humidifier.
- Empty any remaining water when the device is not in use.

the mains socket.

Make sure that the ultrasonic membrane always remains free from limescale so as to ensure a long service life. Always use the cleaning brush for this purpose and apply standard descaling agents. Leave the descaling agent to work for as long as is required to dissolve all the limescale and dirt deposits. To avoid damaging the ultrasonic membrane, never scrape with sharp, hard objects. Rinse out the base if necessary.
-
Wipe the interior of the base with a cloth. Use a mild cleaning product. Rinse out the base if necessary.
-
Wipe the exterior housing of the base with a damp cloth.
