Frequently Asked Questions - Anton Stadler Form

What type of water should I use in the Anton humidifier?

It is recommended to use demineralized water or distilled water to avoid limescale buildup. Tap water can be used, but it accelerates limescale deposits and requires more frequent cleaning.

How to clean the Stadler Form Anton?

Unplug the device and empty the tank. Clean the tank with a solution of water and white vinegar (1:1) or a specific descaler. Rinse thoroughly. Wipe the outside with a damp cloth. Never immerse the base.

Why is my Anton not producing steam?

Check that the tank is filled and properly installed. Make sure the hygrostat is not set to a value already reached. If the red light is flashing, it might be in automatic shut-off mode. Also clean the ultrasonic transducer if it is scaled.

What is the noise level of the Anton?

The noise level is below 25 dB(A), making it virtually silent, ideal for a bedroom. In night mode, it is even more discreet.

How to set the desired humidity?

Use the touch controls to select the target humidity between 30% and 70%. The device stops automatically when the level is reached and restarts if necessary.

Does the Anton have a timer?

Yes, you can program a timer from 1 to 8 hours. Press the 'Timer' button to set the desired duration.

What to do if the humidifier smells bad?

An odor can come from stagnant water or mold. Clean the tank and base with white vinegar or baking soda. Let it dry completely before reuse. Change the water daily.

Can I use the Anton without a filter?

The Anton has a removable anti-limescale filter. It is recommended to use it to protect the device from scale. If you use demineralized water, you can remove the filter, but it reduces protection.

What is the power consumption of the Anton?

The power is 25 W, which is very low consumption. In continuous use, it represents about 0.6 kWh per day, i.e., a few euro cents.

How to replace the anti-limescale filter?

The filter is located in the water tank. Remove it, rinse it with clean water or replace it if necessary. It is recommended to change it every 3 months or so depending on usage.

Before setup: Anticalc cartridge and water hardness (optional accessory)

The anticalc cartridge reduces the limescale in the water and the undesirable emission of limescale particles into the surroundings. Effective for one to three months, depending on water hardness (see table).

With a water hardness above >7^ dH, we recommend the use of the anticalc cartridge (4) to inhibit lime deposits. Test your water's hardness (= lime content) with the included testing strip (see page 4). If the strip shows 2 pink boxes, your water hardness is >7^ dH.

1. Dip the testing strips into the water for a second
2. After around one minute, the results can be seen on the testing strips. Some of the green boxes change colour into pink. The water hardness is shown by how many boxes turn pink. Example: If three boxes are pink, then the water hardness is >14^ dH.

Important: Soak the anticalc cartridge in a water bath for 24 hours before the first use (not in the water tank!). The resin has to absorb water to reach high performance.

The period of time that the cartridge is effective for depends on the hardness of the water.

Degree of Cartridge will last for: Number of Water hardness hardness Days Liter pink boxes (°dH) (with 2.5 liter / day)

0/1	Soft	From 4° dH	140 days	around360 L
2	Moderately hard	From 7° dH	70 days	around180 L
3	Hard	From 14° dH	50 days	around120 L
4	Very hard	From 21° dH	25 days	around 60 L

With a water hardness above 21^ dH, we can no longer recommend the use of an ultrasonic air humidifier. We recommend that you use an evaporative humidifier to increase humidity in your house (e.g. Oskar humidifier made by Stadler Form).

The unit only works properly with untreated water. Do not use where there are water softeners and water ionisers in operation. However, Anton may be operated from a drinking water filter system (e.g. Brita). Should you be unsure about the quality or composition of the water in your area, contact the caretaker or the provider of drinking water.

Setting up / operation

1. Put Anton in the desired location on a flat surface. Connect the power adapter (16) to the unit and plug the adapter into a suitable plug socket.
2. Now fill up the water tank (2) up to the maximum mark with water. Then place the tank in the unit. Important: Please do not move Anton when it is filled with water. The water could splash out of the interior tank and into the electronics.
3. Next, turn on Anton by pressing the on / off button (13). Afterwards, the white light on the front of the unit will turn on, as will the lighting on the water level indicator (10).
4. By turning the variable output controller (15), you can adjust the humidifier output as you wish.
5. If you are bothered by the brightness of the small lights (i.e. in the bedroom), you can reduce the brightness by pushing the night mode button (14). You can choose between three different modes:

• Normal mode (default mode)
- Dimmed mode (push once)
- Lights-out mode (push twice)
- By pushing the dimmer button once more, you can go back into normal mode.

1. You can also use Anton to fragrance the room. We ask that you be sparing when dealing with fragrances as too much can lead to malfunctions and damage to the unit. To use fragrances, remove the water tank (2) from the unit and trickle the fragrance directly into the water (see page 4). Add a maximum of 1–2 drops of fragrance per full tank of water. Install the water tank back into the unit.

Tip: Would you like to change the fragrance? Remove the water tank from the unit, pour the remaining water out and clean the humidifier (see «Cleaning»). Now Anton is ready to dissipate a different fragrance of your choice around the room.

1. When the water level indicator light changes from white to red, then the water must be refilled. Remove the water tank (2) and fill it up with tap water. As soon as you put the tank back in Anton, it continues normal operation.

2. Would you like to refill the water during operation? You can simply remove the water tank and fill it up. The unit will operate for around a further 5 to 12 minutes with the water that remains in the system. Put the water tank back into the unit within this time period and Anton can continue operation without stopping at all.

Note: Should you see droplets (or other signs of dampness) on or around the unit, this is condensed water from the humidifier. This means that the air can no longer absorb the moisture from the humidifier. Please turn the output down so that droplets are no longer visible.

Cleaning

Before each piece of maintenance and after every use, turn off the unit and remove the plug from the plug socket. Before you clean Anton, the power adapter (16) must be separated from the power adapter connection (17).

Attention: Never submerge the unit in water (danger of short circuiting).

• To clean the outside, wipe with a damp cloth and then dry well.
• To clean the inside, remove the water tank (2), the mist outlet (1), the mist chamber (5) and the silver cube (8). Then you can clean the ultrasonic membrane with a normal household decalcifier. It is important during this that the level of water inside the unit does not go higher than 10 mm. Should the level of water accidentally exceed 10 mm, contact Stadler Form or a specialist technician immediately. Should not all residues be able to be removed, then you can clean the ultrasonic membrane with the help of the cleaning brush (front or reverse side). Please do not scrape the membrane with a hard object. With persistent calcification, we recommend that you decalcify the unit several times in a row. After decalcifying, rinse the lower part and then dry thoroughly.

- To clean the water tank, rinse it out with warm water. Should calcification be visible, you can also decalcify the water tank. Afterwards, rinse out the water tank and then dry.

Replacement of the anticalc cartridge

• Please find the recommended replacement intervals in the table (see «Before setup»).
• Tip: The efficiency of the cartridge can be inspected with a simple test. Hold a small mirror in the mist for a few seconds. If there are then white deposits (calcium carbonate) on the mirror, then the cartridge needs changing.
• The anticalc cartridge is located on the inner side of the tank cap. First screw the tank cap off the water tank and then screw the cartridge from the tank cap. Dispose of the cartridge in the domestic waste. Soak the anticalc cartridge in a water bath for 24 hours before the first use (not in the water tank!). The resin has to absorb water to reach high performance.
• Keep the tank cap when replacing the cartridge!

Silver Cube ^TM

The silver cube (8) prevents the growth of germs and bacteria in the humidifier due to the continuous release of silver ions. The use of a silver cube leads to a hygienic room climate. The lifetime of the silver cube is around one year. We therefore recommend that you replace the silver cube at the beginning of every humidifying season. The silver cube starts working as soon as it comes into contact with water, and also works when the unit is switched off.

Repairs

- Repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by a qualified electrical 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, 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.

Disposal

The European directive 2012 / 19 / CE on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimize the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. 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 appliance.
