Setting up / operation

Place Nora in the desired position on a flat surface. Remove the cover from the connector for the USB-C cable (2). Keep the cover in a safe place as it is essential for outdoor use: it protects the device against the ingress of water and dust. Connect the USB-C cable (1) to the appliance (2) and connect the cable to a suitable power source (PC, external battery, USB socket, or to a suitable socket via a power adapter with 2 A/5 V). When the appliance is used for the first time, the battery must be charged by connecting the appli-ance to a power source for at least 5 h. When the battery is fully charged, the battery charge status LED (5) will go out. If the LED starts to flash, the battery is almost dead (charge level 10 % or less). After the battery has been fully charged for the first time, you can operate the appliance without the cable using the power from the integrated rechargeable battery. A fully charged battery will give the appliance a running time of up to 7 h. When the water container is full and the appliance is connected to a power source, it can operate for up to 18 hours.
Nora is certified splash-proof (IP44), making her suitable for use in covered areas outdoors. In such cases, the USB-C connector must always be protected using the cover provided (2). Make sure that your device is not exposed to rain or snow. The device should only be charged by plugging it into a power socket indoors.
Remove the lid (10) to fill with water and fragrance.
Fill the water container (6) up to the maximum mark (MAX) (7) with water. No water may enter the air outlet opening (9). This will damage the appli-ance and will void any claim to the warranty.
Important: transport the appliance in an upright position and without making any jerky movements if there is water in the container (6). If the appliance is moved quickly or tilted, water may leak out and run into the electronics inside the appliance. This will damage the appliance and will void any claim to the warranty.
Add 2–3 drops of your favorite liquid fragrance directly into the water. It is not necessary to mix them as the ultrasonic membrane (8) does this for you. If the fragrance is not intense enough, you can increase the number of drops.
Put the lid (10) back on the lower part (6).
Then switch Nora on by pressing the On/Off button (3).
If you would like to top the water up, switch off the appliance and disconnect the USB cable if it is connected to the appliance (1 + 2). Remove the lid (10) and fill the water up to the maximum mark.
If you are disturbed by the brightness of the illuminated mist (in the bedroom, for example), you can reduce the brightness of the LEDs by pressing the dimmer button (4). You can choose between three different modes:
- Normal mode (switched on as standard)
- Dimmed mode (press once)
- Light-off mode (press twice)
  You can return to normal mode by re-pressing the dimmer button (4).
On the back of the bottom part next to the connection for the USB cable (2), you will find the status display for the battery (5):
- Normal operation with fully charged battery: LED is not illuminated
- Battery level 10 % or lower: LED flashes
- Battery is charging: LED is illuminated constantly When the device is fully charged, the LED will go out. You can now disconnect the USB cable and use the device in battery mode (for up to 7 hours).

Note: If you would like to change the fragrance, empty Nora completely and clean the water container with a damp cloth. Fill Nora once again and pour the drops into the device following the instructions.

Cleaning
Before any maintenance and after each use, switch off the appliance (3) and disconnect the USB cable (1) from it (2).

Careful: Never immerse the device in water (danger of short circuit).

Daily: Fill the appliance with fresh, cold tap water. If the appliance is not used for several days, empty the water from the lower part (6) beforehand, and if necessary, clean it with a bit of dish detergent and a clean cloth. Fill fresh water into the lower part (6) before putting the appliance back into operation.
Regularly as required: To clean the outside, rub with a damp cloth and then dry thoroughly.
If you have hard water (with a high lime content), a white coating will build up on the inside. This coating consists of very fine limescale particles that you can wipe off easily with a cloth or microfibre cloth.
If there are marks caused by water and/or fragrances on the lid (10), clean it with a damp cloth and a squirt of washing-up liquid. Then dry the lid thoroughly before using the appliance again.
Internal cleaning: You can clean the ultrasonic membrane with a conventional household descaler. If there are lime deposits, we recommend that you use Stadler Form Cleaner & Descaler (www.stadlerform.com/accessories). Alternatively, you can use a household descaling agent or vinegar. Please do not try to scratch off deposits from the membrane with a hard object. For stubborn deposits, we recommend that you describe the device several times in a row. After the descaling rinse the base and then dry thoroughly.
No water may enter the air outlet opening (9). This will damage the appliance and will void any claim to the warranty.

Repairs

Repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by a qualified elec-trical technician. If improper repairs are carried out, the warranty lapses, and all liability is refused.
Never operate the appliance if the adaptor or plug is damaged, after it has malfunctioned, or if it has been dropped, or has been damaged in any other way (cracks/breaks in the casing).
Do not push any object into the appliance.
If the appliance is beyond repair, make it unusable immediately by cutting through the cable and hand it in at the collection point provided for the purpose.
In the event of a repair, the following points must be observed before the appliance is shipped or taken to the dealer: empty the water in the appliance (water tray or water tank), and allow the appliance to dry completely. Appliances containing residual water may be damaged during transport, invalidating the warranty.

Disposal
The European directive 2012 / 19 / CE on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equip-ment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately to optimize the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environ- ment. The crossed-out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliances. Battery disposal method: This appliance contains non-replaceable batteries. When the battery is at the end of its life, the appliance shall be properly disposed of. Do not throw it into the trash can, the electrode is wrapped in insulating paper, it can be recycled and reused.
