STARTING UP

MANUAL HANDLING

ABOUT MANUAL HANDLING
Manual handling works conveniently by the knob on the front side. The BONECO app offers additional extensive options for control and automation of the BONECO appliance.

AUTO MODE
If you have never operated the BONECO appliance with the BONECO app and switch it on for the first time, it starts up in AUTO mode. The appliance is preset to a target relative humidity of 50 percent.
The performance level is automatically adapted to the current humidity: The drier the air, the higher the performance level.
If the preset target humidity is exceeded by 2 percent, the appliance switches to standby mode, which is  indicated by the pulsing LED:

If the humidity drops below the set level, the BONECO appliance resumes operation.

ADAPTED AUTO MODE
If you have already operated the BONECO appliance with the BONECO app and set a different humidity, that value is automatically taken over when the appliance is switched on.

SWITCHING ON AND OFF

1. Briefly press the knob once to switch on the BONECO appliance.
   The appliance is always in AUTO mode when it is switched on. You can identify active AUTO mode by the small LED that lights up above the knob.

2. To switch off the BONECO appliance while it is in AUTO mode, briefly press the output regulator once.

MANUAL CONTROL

1. Briefly press the knob once to switch on theBONECO appliance.
   The appliance is always in AUTO mode when it is switched on.

2. Adjust the output to your needs by setting the knob to the desired level from 1 to 6. This action exits AUTO mode (AUTO LED is off).
   The selected performance level is indicated by the number of LEDs that light up above the knob.

3. Briefly press the knob once to exit manual mode and to reactivate AUTO mode.

4. Briefly press the knob once more to switch off the BONECO appliance.

If you exit AUTO mode, the BONECO appliance will continue at the selected performance level until the water base is empty, regardless of what the current level of humidity is.

PAIRING WITH THE BONECO APPLIANCE

GETTING READY
Make sure that Bluetooth is activated on your smartphone. During pairing, make sure that the smartphone is in the same room as the BONECO appliance.
Once paired successfully, you can control the BONECO appliance with your smartphone from the same room or even from an adjacent room. However, the maximum distance between smartphone and BONECO appliances depends on the specific structural conditions.

PAIRING

1. Make sure that Bluetooth is activated on your smartphone.
2. Start the BONECO app.
3. Follow the instructions in the app.

THE VARIOUS OPERATING MODES

HYBRID MODE (“HYBRID”)
The BONECO appliance combines two functions.

• The AH320 pollen filter cleanses breathing air by removing pollen, household dust and fine particles.
• The AW200 evaporator mat humidifies the room air.

You achieve the best results when the BONECO appliance is humidifying and purifying the air at the same time. Nevertheless it is possible to use just one of the two functions.

“HYBRID” LED OPERATING MODE

HUMIDIFICATION ONLY (“HUMIDIFIER”)
We recommend using the BONECO appliance with inserted AH320 pollen filter even in the winter because, aside from pollen, it also filters household dust out of the air. In order to operate the appliance without the AH320 pollen filter, simply remove the filter from its holder and use the BONECO app to switch to “Humidifier” mode.

If you remove the AH320 pollen filter, the maximum humidifier output rises from about 1.27 gal/day (200 g/h) to about 2.22 gal/day (350 g/h).

“HUMIDIFIER” LED OPERATING MODE

AH320 POLLEN FILTER ONLY (“PURIFIER”)
In summer, humidity is usually sufficient, but pollen gives people with allergies a difficult time. If you only want to use the purifying effect of the  AH320 pollen filter, switch the BONECO appliance to “Purifier” operating mode using the BONECO app and remove the water and the  drum from the appliance.

“PURIFIER” LED OPERATING MODE

THE VARIOUS COMFORT MODES

COMFORT MODES
There are three different comfort modes available in each of the three “Hybrid”, “Air purification” and “Air humidification” operating modes: AUTO, SLEEP and BABY.

AUTO MODE
In AUTO mode, the BONECO appliance uses all of the fan levels between 1 and 5. The preset humidity is 50%.

SLEEP MODE
In SLEEP mode, the BONECO appliance can even be used in a bedroom at night. The appliance automatically operates at the lowest fan level of 1 to
keep the operating noise level to a minimum. The preset humidity is 45%.

BABY MODE
The BABY mode uses fan levels 1 through 4 and increases the humidity to 60%. This value is ideal for use in a nursery or baby’s room since higher humidity is recommended for babies and small children. The fan also operates quietly enough that it will not trigger a  baby monitor.

USING FRAGRANCES

BASICS
Commercially available fragrances and essential oils can be inserted into the fragrance container on the rear side.

Never mix any additives into the water base itself, since doing so can decrease the performance of the BONECO appliance and even cause damage. Such damage is not covered by the warranty.

The fragrance container can be cleaned in the dishwasher. However, the temperature may not exceed  22 °F (50 °C).

ADDING FRAGRANCES

1. Press down on the fragrance container to take out the drawer.

2. Sprinkle the felt insert in the drawer with the fragrance of your choice.

NOTES ON CLEANING

ABOUT CLEANING
Regular maintenance and cleaning are necessary for trouble-free and hygienic operation.
Recommended cleaning and maintenance intervals vary depending on air quality, water quality and operating time.
A soft cloth, dish detergent and a scrub brush are recommended for cleaning by hand.
Always unplug the BONECO appliance from the power outlet before you begin cleaning. Failure to do so can result in electric shock and fatal injury!
If you clean the drum and the water base in the dishwasher, a temperature of 122  °F (50 °C) may not be exceeded, as temperatures higher than this can cause the plastic parts to deform.

Do not dry the AW200 evaporator mat in the clothes dryer.

CLEANING BY HAND
