Getting to know your device
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 may have 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.

Initial use

Unpacking the device
WARNING
Keep packaging material away from children! There is a choking hazard.

• Open the cardboard packaging.
• Remove the protective insert.
• Keep the plastic film closed.
• Lift the device up and out of the packaging.
• Remove the plastic covering.
• Check the device, the mains plug and the cable for damage.

Installation location
WARNING
Before putting the device into operation, read the safety notes in the Safety chapter.

• The immediate vicinity of the air humidifier can become damp.
• Calcareous water can leave white deposits.
• Do not place the device on the floor, but in a raised position (e.g. on a table or chest of drawers).
• Position the device so that the mist outlet is not directed towards objects.
• Empty any remaining water when the device is not in use.
• Place the air humidifier on a firm, level and water-resistant surface.
  If the device should accidentally tip over, water may escape, even if the device is switched off and unplugged.

Water

Note

• Do not add any essential oils or fragrances to the water. If additives are used, the plastic material may become discoloured and damaged. The ultrasound membrane gets stuck and is damaged.
• Use fresh drinking water below 40°C in the device. If the drinking water is very hard, you can use demi-neralised or distilled water.
• Tip! If the water is hard, we recommend using the optional anti-limescale filter.

Filling the water tank

• Lift the water tank and rotate it.
  The water tank is kept closed by means of a spring valve.

• Open the screwed plug on the water tank.

• Fill with water.
  The water tank holds a maximum of 2 litres.

• Tightly close the water tank using the screwed plug.

• Rotate the water tank and position it on the base unit. The tank should sit tightly on the base unit.

Usage

Note
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 %.

Switching on the device

• Insert the plug into the mains socket.
• If there is no or not enough water in the water tank, a red LED lights up. The device has switched off for safety reasons.
• Fill the water tank as described under 6. Initial use.

Hinweis
The device has three different modes:

| LED lighting| Air humidifiers| Evaporation output
---|---|---|---
Press the ON/OFF button (  ) 1x| blue| Level 1| ~ 200 ml/h
Press the ON/OFF button (  ) 2x| white| Level 2| ~ 150 ml/h
Press the ON/OFF button (  ) 3x (Night mode)| OFF| Level 2| ~ 150 ml/h
Press the ON/OFF button (  ) 4x| OFF| OFF| –

Note

You may optionally add drops of aroma/scented oils to the aroma compartment (8). These will lend a pleasant odour to the room. Under no circumstances should you add the aroma directly to the water.
Switching off the device

• Press the ON/OFF button ( ) 4 times. The LED lighting goes off.
• Pull the plug out of the mains socket.

Note

In night mode, the air humidifier operates in level 2 with a lower evaporation output and no LED illumination to ensure undisturbed and therefore restful sleep.

Cleaning and maintenance

Regular cleaning and disinfection are a prerequisite for hygienic and fault- free operation.
The level of contamination of the device depends on the water quality and how long it has been in operation. In any case, we recommend the following cleaning intervals.

Every three days| As required|
---|---|---
x| | Clean the ultrasound membrane with a brush, rinse the base.
x| | Rinse the water tank, replace the water.
x| | Clean the air humidifier inside and out.
| x| Descale.

Use either a citric acid solution (30 g pure citric acid powder dissolved in 1 l water) or a vinegar solution (household vinegar with 5% acid content mixed with water in a ratio of 1:2) as a descaling solution.
WARNING
The device must be switched off after every use and before cleaning. Pull the plug out of the mains socket.

IMPORTANT

The water tank must be cleaned and the air humidifier completely emptied if the device has not been used for 72 hours.

Note

• Clean the device using only the methods specified.
• Under no circumstances may liquid enter the base unit.
• Do not use any solvent-based cleaning products.
• Use only a mild detergent or citric acid or vinegar-based solution to perform cleaning or disinfection work.

Cleaning the ultrasound membrane with a brush, rinsing the base

Note
Empty the water from the base unit via the side rim in the direction indicated by the arrow. Ensure that no water gets inside the device, e.g. via the fan opening.

• Clean the ultrasound membrane using the cleaning brush provided.
• Empty the water from the base unit via the side edge.
• Should dirty residue remain in the base unit, pour some clean, fresh water into the base unit and empty it out via the side edge.

Rinsing the water tank, replacing the water

• Clean the water tank regularly, at least every three days if using daily.
• Use a mild cleaning product or a citric acid or vinegar-based solution.
• Clean the thread of the screwed plug using a soft brush.
• Half-fill the water tank with water.
• Tightly close the water tank using the screwed plug.
• Shake the water tank by rocking it back and forth several times.
• Empty out the water completely.
• Repeat the process using clean, fresh water.

Cleaning the air humidifier inside and out

• Empty the water from the base unit via the side edge.
• Wipe the air humidifier with a damp cloth inside and out. Use only a mild detergent or citric acid or vinegar-based solution to perform cleaning work.

Descaling
Descaling the ultrasound membrane
Hard water can cause limescale to build up in the device and, especially, on the ultrasound membrane. This forms white deposits. Descale the device regularly.

• Drop some descaling solution onto the ultrasound membrane.
• Leave it to take effect for two to five minutes.
• Clean the ultrasound membrane using the cleaning brush.
• Rinse the base unit twice with clean, freshwater.

Cleaning inside the base unit

• Dip a damp, soft cloth briefly in the descaling solution.
• Use the cloth to wipe the inside of the base unit.
• Carefully pour some clean, freshwater into the base unit.
• Empty the water from the base unit via the side edge.
• Repeat the process using clean, freshwater.

Descaling the water tank

• Half-fill the water tank with a descaling solution.
• Tightly close the water tank using the screwed plug.
• Shake the water tank by rocking it back and forth several times.
• Empty the descaling solution completely.
• Repeat the process twice using clean, freshwater.

Accessories and replacement parts

Tip!
If the water is hard, we recommend using the optional anti-limescale filter. Anti-limescale filter (optional).

Note

• If the anti-limescale filter does not prevent limescale build-up, or if white deposits form on or in the device, the anti-limescale filter should be replaced.
• The service life of the anti-limescale filter is around two to three months at most.
• If the device is not used for a relatively long time, the anti-limescale filter must be removed from the water tank and dried out.

Fitting the anti-limescale filter

• Lift the water tank and rotate it.
• Open the screwed plug on the water tank.
• Screw the anti-limescale filter onto the screwed plug on the inside.
• Tightly close the water tank using the screwed plug.
