APPOINTMENT OF THE DEVICE

A humidifier increases relative air humidity in a room and stabilizes its microclimate, allowing to avoid harmful conditions of low humidity. Comfortable conditions are achieved at a relative air humidity of 40 to 60%. Insufficient air humidity results in the dehumidification of mucous membranes which is the cause of a decrease in immunity, headache, cracking of lips, and “sandpaper” in the eyes, also insufficient air humidity enables the development of infection and causes respiratory illnesses, fatigue, increased eye fatigue, and worsening of concentration, and has a negative effect on pets and indoor plants, causes increased dust generation and electrostatic charging of synthetic fabrics.

IMPORTANT!
For the operation of the device, it is better to use purified water from the household water filter. It is necessary for the lifetime of the humidifier. With purified water, there will be no white spots around the device. White spots around the device are a salt of calcium and magnesium, which are part of ordinary tap water. When using unpurified water, they are discharged with steam and deposited on surrounding objects and surfaces. Although these substances are safe for people, in large quantities they can have harmful effects on furniture.

• Do not fill the tank with other liquids but with filtered tap water. Different composition of liquids has a harmful effect on internal parts of the device and cause malfunctions.
• Do not fill the unit or the water tank with such additives as essential oils, fragrances, cleaning agents, chemical medical drugs, warm water (above 40°), etc. Otherwise, the water tank and internal parts of the unit will be damaged and inoperable. Do not fill water directly into the internal parts of the unit or the atomizer.
• The water inside the unit may cause malfunctions of the unit.
• Do not hit or throw the water tank. It may get damaged resulting in water leaks. Do not use the unit in case the water tank is heavily hit. Immediately contact the technical support service or the maintenance and repair station.
•  Every day fill the tank with fresh filtered water and keep the unit clean.
