DEAR CUSTOMER

Congratulations on your purchase of the BONECO H300. Thanks to its high evaporating output, humidity is kept at a comfortable level at all times and thus improves the well-being of people and pets – especially during the dry winter months. At the same time, the integrated AH300 POLLEN Filter effectively alleviates the discomfort for people with allergies.

In addition, the BONECO app gives you access to a wide variety of programs and automated actions you can use to adapt the BONECO H300 to your personal needs in every detail. Cleaning the appliance is just as easy because most of the parts can be cleaned in your washing machine or dishwasher.

Regardless of whether it is summer or winter: You will not want to give up your newly gained comfort.

IMPORTANT NOTES

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before using the device, carefully read through the enclosed safety notes and operating manual and keep them for later use.

 FIRST CLEANING

Production-related residue on the water base and water tank may lead to foaming, and thereby to water escaping. For this reason, before the first use, both elements must be cleaned with warm water and dishwashing detergent. Thoroughly rinse the parts under running water.

START-UP

MANUAL OPERATION

ON MANUAL OPERATION

The BONECO H300 offers extensive possibilities for control and automation, which are controlled by the BONECO app. Furthermore, some basic functions are available that you can control manually using the knob on the front.

AUTO MODE

If you have never operated the BONECO H300 with the BONECO app and switch it on for the first time, the appliance will operate as a humidifier and air purifier in AUTO mode. The appliance is preset to a target humidity of 50 percent. The performance level is automatically adapted to the current humidity: The drier the air, the higher the output 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 H300 resumes operation.

ADAPTED AUTO MODE

If you have already operated the BONECO H300 with the BONECO app and set a different humidity, that value is automatically taken over when it is switched on.

SWITCHING ON AND OFF

1. Briefly press the output regulator once to switch on tBONECO H300.
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 output regulator.

2. To switch off the BONECO H300 while it is in AUTO mode, briefly press the output regulator once.

MANUAL OPERATION (CONTINUED)

MANUAL CONTROL

1. Briefly press the output regulator once to switch on the BONECO H300.

The appliance is always in AUTO mode when it is switched on.
2. Adjust the output to your needs by setting the control 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 output regulator.

3. Briefly press the control knob once to exit manual mode and to reactivate AUTO mode.
4. Briefly press the output regulator once more to switch off the BONECO H300.

If you exit AUTO mode, the BONECO H300 will continue at the selected output level until the water tank is empty – regardless of what the current level of humidity is.

THE VARIOUS OPERATING MODES

HYBRID MODE (“HYBRID”)

The BONECO H300 combines two functions.

• The AH300 POLLEN Filter cleanses breathing air of pollen, household dust, and fine particles.
• The evaporator mat humidifies the room air.

You achieve the best results if the BONECO H300 humidifies and purifies the air at the same time. Nevertheless, it is possible to use just one of the two functions.

HUMIDIFICATION ONLY (“HUMIDIFIER”)

We recommend using the BONECO H300 with inserted AH300 POLLEN Filter even in winter because, aside from pollen, it also filters household dust out of the air. In order to operate the appliance without the AH300 POLLEN Filter, simply remove the filter from its holder.

If you remove the AH300 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).

AH300 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 AH300 POLLEN Filter, switch the BONECO H300 to the “Purifier” operating mode using the BONECO app.

FRAGRANCE CONTAINER

FRAGRANCE CONTAINER

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 H300 and even cause damage. This damage is not covered by the warranty.
The fragrance container can be cleaned in the dishwasher. The temperature may not exceed 130 °F (50 °C).

USE

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 operations.

Recommended cleaning and maintenance intervals vary depending on air quality, water quality and length of operation.
Dishwashing liquid and a scrub brush are recommended for cleaning by hand.

Always unplug the BONECO H300 before you start cleaning! Failure to do so can result in electric shock and fatal injury!
In the case of cleaning the drum and the water base in the dishwasher, a temperature of 130 °F (50 °C) may not be exceeded, as temperatures higher than this can cause the plastic parts to deform.

CLEANING IN THE WASHING MACHINE

The evaporator mat can be cleaned in the washing machine. Commercially available detergents can be used. For best results wash the evaporator mat by itself.
The evaporator mat may not be washed at a temperature higher than 104 °F (40 °C).
Do not dry the evaporator mat in the clothes dryer.

CLEANING BY HAND

1. Tumble the evaporator mat thoroughly in warm water so that the entire mat makes contact with some detergent.
   

2. Continue to rinse out the evaporator mat in clean and warm water until foam no longer forms.

CLEANING THE PRE-FILTER / REPLACING THE AH300 POLLEN FILTER

**ABOUT THE PRE-FILTER

**

The pre-filter cleanses the air of coarse dirt particles to relieve the strain on the AH300 POLLEN Filter and to improve its effectiveness. Clean the pre- filter if it looks dusty or dirty.

1. Press down each of the four corners in sequence to unlock them.

2. Remove the pre-filter by pulling it upwards by the lug in its center.

3. Wash the pre-filter under running water using a cleaning brush.

4. Let the pre-filter dry before inserting it.

A damp pre-filter can impede the quality of the AH300 POLLEN Filter.

REPLACING THE AH300 POLLEN FILTER

The AH300 POLLEN Filter cannot be cleaned.

• The dirt is normal and shows that the filter is working.
• Replace the filter once a year to maintain the cleaning performance.
