2.  Attach the cover of the stand (16) to the stand tubes
   NOTE:
   The nuts and screws (17) are preinstalled on the rear of the switch housing.

3.  Check if the screws (17) possibly have been screwed into deeply. In this case, turn the screws back a little. Do not screw them out all the way!

4. NOTE:

• f a screw or a bolt should have dropped off, proceed as follows:
•  Hold the preassembled unit (motor (18), switch housing (6), and humidifier base (10)) so that the motor points down.
• Insert one nut (M6) each into the shaft at the side of the recesses for the tubes.
• Screw the two screws (17) on the rear of the switch housing lightly into the nuts.

1. Set the preassembled unit for a depth of approximately 3 cm onto the stand tubes.
   NOTE:

2. The humidifier cable must be routed between the two tubes.

3. Secure the preassembled unit to the stand tubes by

4. tightening the two screws (17).

5. Fasten the base of the humidifier (10) with the large screw (ST4*25 mm) to the base of the stand. For this, insert the screw from below through the stand and its cover into the small outer bore (Fig. on the right).

6. Fan (Abb. d)

7. Remove the preinstalled nut (20) from the motor (18). Keep it close to hand.

8. Align the rear protection grid (19) with the motor recesses (18).
   NOTE:
   The handle must point upwards

9. Tighten the nut (20) for the rear protection grid clockwise.

10. Attach the propeller (3). When doing so, use the guide pin on the motor shaft.

11. Tighten the screw (21) for the propeller anti-clockwise

12. Remove the prefitted screw and nut (5) from the front protection grid (22). Keep it close to hand.

13. Open the fastening hooks (2) at the front protection grid.

14. Attach the front protection grid by engaging the groove of the hook (1) with the rear protection grid

    The holes for the screw (5) in the front and rear protection grid must be aligned.

15. Secure the protection grid with the screw and the nut (5).

16. Close the four fastening hooks (2).

17. Humidifier (Fig. e – f )

18. The tube already may have been installed on the switch housing. In this case, continue the assembly from item 18.

19. Feed the tube (8) from front to back between the two stand tubes (7). Then insert the tube from the bottom upwards through the opening on the underside of the switch housing (6).
    NOTE:
    The end of the tube with the tank cap must be positioned at the front above the humidifier.
