Information about the device

Device description

The device functions as a humidifier, aroma diffuser, and air cleaner.
The hygrostat-controlled room air humidification by natural cold evaporation ensures a pleasant room climate and air quality improvement.
The device is equipped with an integrated scented oil tank and diffuser for optional room air aromatization.
An evaporation filter with a special honeycomb structure ensures an optimum humidity level of 40 % to 60 %. The filter further prevents lime and other air pollutants from being emitted into the room air.
As an additional equipment option, a SecoSan® ion reservoir keeps the water demonstrably free from germs. The device comes with different operating modes as well as a night mode enabling ultra-silent operation at bedtime. The device switches off automatically when the water tank is empty.

The functioning of the two devices B 24 E and B 25 E is identical, they merely differ in appearance or to be precise in color: The device B 24 E is copper- colored and the device B 25 E is white.
