INTENDED USE

Your new Pingi Cascada humidifier CHD-A4000M is suitable for humidifying the air in enclosed indoor spaces. The appliance operates on 220-240V, 50Hz (mains electricity). Never try to connect the device to other power sources. Please always follow the safety instructions in this manual. Keep this instruction manual in a safe place so that it is available at all times. This product complies with regulatory, national and European requirements. Never try to make technical modifications to this device. We do not accept liability for accidents or damages resulting from failure to follow these operating and safety instructions.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The Pingi Cascada humidifier CHD-A4000M is an ultrasonic humidifier that atomises water. High-frequency vibrations transform up to 300 ml (±30ml) of water per hour into a fine mist. This means it will increase the humidity level in the air by generating millions of small droplets. The device has a 4L tank. The CHD-A4000M has multiple speed settings and can automatically maintain the ambient humidity level you select. Humidifiers need to be cleaned regularly to prevent limescale build-up or biofilm formation. Please refer to the cleaning section for further information.

BEFORE YOU START

Please carefully read the safety instructions on the front page of this manual before getting started.

PLACEMENT AND INSTALLATION

1.  Select a level surface that provides sufficient distance between the humidifier and any walls and other objects. Please mind that some water may escape from the base or tank when installing the tank. Do not place the device on or near moisture-sensitive objects or surfaces.
2.  If needed, install the included filter cartridge in the appropriate slot in the base.
3.  Plug in the device.
   We recommend using this appliance in rooms with a room temperature of 18 – 22 °C

FILLING THE TANK

1.  Empty and flush the tank. Then fill it with cold tap water. The tank can hold up to 4L of water.
2.  Place the filled tank on the base and replace the tank cover.
3.  You can change the direction of the mist output by rotating the mist nozzles.
4. You can add water at any time without removing the tank from the base.

SWITCHING ON THE HUMIDIFIER

The humidifier can be switched on and off with the control dial. After switching on the appliance, the indicator LED will become green and the device will start to emit humidity. Use the dial to select the desired power setting and to switch off the appliance. Selecting a higher power level will increase the amount of mist produced.

OUT OF WATER SIGNAL

The humidifier will automatically switch off when it detects that the tank is empty. The indicator LED will turn red when the tank is empty. Fill the tank to resume operation. The indicator LED will become green.

CLEANING

Both the tank and base need to be cleaned regularly. We recommend cleaning the appliance once a week.
Important notices:

• Make sure the device is unplugged when cleaning it.
• Do not pour hot water in the tank.
• Do not use detergents or chlorine.
• Use vinegar or a coffee machine descaling fluid.

Procedure:

• Water tank: Empty out the water tank. Rinse the water tank with cold water and some vinegar (1 cup). Optionally use a soft brush. Thoroughly flush the tank after emptying out the vinegar solution.
• Base: Empty out the base. Use a microfibre cloth with some cold water to clean it.
• Filter cartridge: Rinse the filter cartridge with hot water. Optionally soak the filter several minutes in hot water.
• Ultrasonic element: The ultrasonic element is located in the base. Over time limescale deposits may become visible on and around this element. If you notice this, it may require descaling. Empty out the base and pour a mixture 1 part water and 1 part vinegar in the base. Wait for at least 30 minutes before pouring out the vinegar. You may use a soft brush. Do not use hard brushes or tools, as this may damage the ultrasonic element. Thoroughly rinse the base before switching on the appliance again.
• Exterior: If necessary, wipe off the exterior of the appliance with a lightly dampened cloth.

DISPOSAL OF THE DEVICE

Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste, use separate collection facilities. Contact your local government for information regarding the collection systems available. If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the groundwater and get into the food chain, damaging your health and well-being. When replacing old appliances with new ones, the retailer is legally obligated to take back your old appliance for disposal free of charge.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The device will not switch on. What could be the cause?

• Check if the device is plugged in.
• Check if there is water in the tank.

The LED indicator is red and no mist is produced. What could be the cause?

• There is insufficient water in the tank. Fill the tank.

The device is switched on but I do not see any mist. Is there a problem?

The base is too full. Lift the tank and empty out the base. Install the tank again. Wait 30 seconds and switch on the device again.

Water flows down the side of the base after installing the tank. What do I do?

• A few droplets? The base has not been emptied out before the tank was reinstalled. Normally this is harmless.
• The tank might have been placed on the base in an incorrect manner. Adjust the tank position.

The area around my humidifier is wet? What could be the problem?

The power level/mist volume setting is too high for your ambient conditions. Choose a lower setting.

The mist smells unpleasant. What is wrong?

• Is the device new? The tank needs to be rinsed before first use.
• Make sure to regularly clean the device as described in the ‘CLEANING’ section.

The output of mist is lower than before.

• The mist output can be adjusted. Can you set a higher setting?
•  The ultrasonic disc might be covered in limescale from hard water. Clean the device with a vinegar solution, as described in the ‘CLEANING’ section.
• Check the fan openings. Are the fan openings blocked or clogged?

The filter cartridge smells unpleasant. Do I need to replace it?
You do not need to replace the filter cartridge. Clean the filter as described in the ‘CLEANING’ section.

Can I add scents to the water?
