Frequently Asked Questions - AX 310 Turmix

How to turn the Turmix AX 310 humidifier on and off?

Plug the appliance into a power outlet, then press the on/off button on the front panel. To turn it off, press the same button again or use the timer.

What is the tank capacity and how do I fill it?

The tank has a capacity of 4 liters. Remove it carefully, open the cap, fill with cold tap water (preferably not mineral water) and place it back on the base.

Why does the humidifier shut off automatically?

The automatic shut-off triggers when the tank is empty or if the appliance tips over. This protects the motor and prevents overheating.

How to clean the Turmix AX 310 humidifier?

Unplug the appliance, empty the tank. Clean the inside of the tank and the membrane with a soft cloth soaked in white vinegar. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Wipe dry before reusing.

What type of water should I use to avoid limescale buildup?

Use demineralized or distilled water to reduce limescale buildup. Tap water can be used but requires more frequent cleaning.

Can I use essential oils with this humidifier?

No, this model is not designed for essential oils. Using them could damage the membrane and void the warranty.

How to adjust the desired humidity level?

The AX 310 does not have a built-in hygrostat. You can adjust the output by turning the steam adjustment knob (if present) or use the timer to control operating time.

What to do if the humidifier is not producing steam?

Check that the tank is filled, the membrane is clean, and the appliance is properly plugged in. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.

Where can I find spare parts for the Turmix AX 310?

Spare parts (tank, membrane, filter) are available from Turmix after-sales service or on specialized household appliance spare parts websites.

Is this humidifier suitable for a child's room?

Yes, its silent operation (less than 35 dB) and automatic shut-off make it a safe choice for a child's room. Place it out of reach of young children.

Information on evaporation type humidifiers:

• The drier the room air, the more moisture is emitted by the humidifier. This self-regulation principle prevents excessive air humidity, keeping the relative humidity between about 45 and 60% .
• For higher performance in large rooms, place the humidifier near a
  radiator (max. temperature no more than 50 °C).
• Air circulation strongly interferes with humidification (e.g. due to open or loose windows in high rooms).
• Please note that moisture rises with warm air and may cause undesirable condensation.
