USER MANUAL COLD HUMIDIFIER CHICCO

GB Instructions for Use

Please read these instructions carefully and keep them for future reference.

Instructions Booklet

Recyclable packaging materials have been used were possible in respect of the environment.

A correctly humidified environment helps to maintain the natural protective functions of the nasal mucous and the breathing tracts, ensuring greater protection against harmful bacteria and polluting dusts.

The HUM³ Cold Humidifier works by nebulising cold water using a high frequency vibration system which is not perceptible to the human ear or those of pets (very high frequency ultra-sounds). The HUM³ Cold Humidifier is ideal for use in rooms frequented by children: it is silent, which means it can be used without disturbing children while they asleep; the cold humidification guarantees that there is no risk of burns; furthermore its compact design makes it ideal for placing on a side table or a small shelf. It uses very little electricity, just 15W.

For your child's well-being, before switching on the humidifier, carefully check indoor temperature and humidity levels with a Chicco hygrometer and compare them with the values shown in the following chart.

Temperature of approximately 16^ / 20^

Healthy child	40-60%.
child with cold and/or cough	60-70%
child suffering from asthma	35 - 50% (as a preventive measure)

CHICCO PROTECTS YOUR BABY

  Children should be kept under adult supervision to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not store the humidifier with water in the tank in rooms with very low temperatures

(< 5^)

• To avoid the risk of fire, do not place the AC/ DC mains adaptor (7) cable under carpets or close to radiators, or gas and/or electrical heaters.
• Never use plug adaptor, multiple plugs and/or extension wires.
• Never touch the transducer with wet or damp hands.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Preliminary operations and functions

• Check that the appliance is perfectly clean, that the on/off switch (2) is in the O-OFF position and that the AC/DS mains adaptor (7) plug is disconnected from the mains (Diag. A)
• Lift the nebulising unit (transducer) (6) using the handle grooves (8) (Diag.B).
• Fill the water tank (5) with cold clean drinking or distilled water up to MAX level indicator (9) (Diag.C).

WARNING: used drinking or distilled water only, never use other liquids or substances. Never add any aromatic oils to the water contained in the tank (5), as the appliance could be damaged permanently.

• Replace the nebulising unit (transducer) (6) on the water tank (5).
• Place the appliance in the selected area, at about 70 - 100cm from the floor, following the indications specified in the Warnings paragraph.
• Connect the AC/DC main adaptor (7) cable plug to the main adaptor connector on the appliance (Diag. D), then connect the AC/DC mains adaptor (7) plug into the mains socket
• Turn the on/off switch (2) to "1" - ON; the light blue appliance ON (1) indicator will come on (Diag. E) and the nebulised water will start to be expelled from the nebulised water outlet nozzle (4)
• The humidifier also has a water level sensor. When the water in the tank runs out, the nebulisation circuit will switch off automatically (stand by function) to prevent any damage to the transducer, whilst the device fan continues to operate normally (9).

Warning!!

Never add any salt, aromatic oils or anything else to the water contained in the tank, as the appliance could be damaged permanently. Never direct the nebulised water flow towards furniture, curtains or electrical appliances or anything else that is sensitive to water or humidity.

Always switch the appliance off and disconnect it from the mains when not in use or left unattended.

SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE

Warning!!

Before starting any cleaning/maintenance operations on the appliance, turn the on/off switch (2) to O - OFF and disconnect the AC/DC mains adaptor plug from the mains socket to prevent the risk of electric shocks.

Daily cleaning:

In order to avoid/reduce the formation of bacteria or scale residues, it is necessary to clean the appliance daily, as indicated below:

• Lift the humidifier nebulising unit (transducer) (6) off the water tank (5) using the handle grooves (8).
• Empty all water residue from the water tank (5).
• Fill the water tank (5) with cold clean drinking or distilled water.
• Rinse several times, taking care to pour out all the water.
  After draining all the water, dry thoroughly with a dry cloth, wiping it carefully over the nebulising unit (transducer) (6) as well.
• In the case where the appliance will not be used, after the daily cleaning procedure, dry all parts immediately and then store it away.

Warning!!

• Never clean the water tank (5) with abrasive products, alcohol, solvents or similar products: these products could damage the water tank (5).
• Never place the appliance under running water

• Do not wet the electric power cable or air vent.

• Do not allow water to enter the top section of the nebulising unit (transducer) (6); if this should happen, have it checked by a retailer or qualified technician before using it.

• Do not scratch the transducer with any tools. Do not clean with chemical or abrasive products.

Weekly cleaning:

How to clean the appliance outer surface:

Clean the appliance outer surface with a soft damp cloth using water and standard washing up liquid. Do not use abrasive products, harsh detergents, alcohol, solvents or similar products, which may cause permanent damage to the appliance outer surface.

Cleaning the water tank

During normal use of the appliance, the salts contained in the water could cause the formation of scale residues on the transducer and water tank (5). The formation of scale residues could take place more or less quickly, depending on the type of water, its hardness and frequency of use of the appliance. The harder the water, the quicker the formation of scale residues.

Scale residues decrease performance and even prevent the appliance from operating, so they should be removed at least once a week.

After cleaning the appliance daily following the instructions above, it is therefore recommended to descale the appliance, at least once a week, as indicated below:

• Repeat the operations indicated in the "Daily cleaning" paragraph.
• Prepare a solution of water (preferably distilled) and white vinegar in equal parts, and fill the water tank (5) with the solution. Leave the solution in place for at least 4 hours (even better if overnight).
• Rinse thoroughly and repeatedly with drinking water and dry gently using a soft cloth. If necessary, repeat the operation until all the scale residues have been removed.

Warning!!

• Never place the appliance under running water
• If the humidifier is not used for a long period, dry the water tank (5) and the transducer af

ter cleaning.

• Do not wet the electric power cable or air vent.
• Do not allow water to enter the top section of the nebulising unit; if this should happen, have it checked by a retailer or qualified technician before using it.
• Do not scratch the transducer with any tools. Do not clean with chemical or abrasive products.
