How to clean the ultrasonic transducer?

Moisten a cotton swab with vinegar and gently rub the transducer until limescale deposits disappear. Wipe with a dry cloth. Never use hard tools or chemicals.

What to do if the empty tank light comes on?

Turn off the humidifier and unplug it. Refill the tank with clean water before restarting.

Can I add perfumes or essential oils to the water?

No, never pour detergent, perfume or essential oil into the water. Use only clean tap water.

At what height should I place the humidifier?

Can the humidifier be used by people with asthma?

Its use is not recommended for people with bronchial asthma and allergies. It is suitable for common colds and laryngitis.

Why is there water in the base after placing the tank?

That's normal: some water flows into the interior space between the tank and the body for operation. This is harmless.

If you notice condensation, select a lower steam flow using the regulator. Make sure the room can absorb the humidity.

2 MAIN COMPONENTS

1 On/off switch
2 Water tank
3 Tank cover
4 Tank handle
5 Steam outlet
6 Base
7 Ion exchange resins
8 Transducer
9 Steam flow regulator
10 Anti-bacteria filter
11 Interior water tank
12 Empty tank indicator light
13 "On" indicator light

3 OPERATION AND USE

1 Remove the water tank (2) from the base (6), turn it over, and remove the cover from the bottom part (3) by turning it counter-clockwise. Fig.1. Add cold tap water without filling it completely, otherwise the ion

exchange resins could cause the water to spill over the top when the cover is put on.

2 Put the cover back on by aligning the marks on the tank with the grooves on the cover, and turn it clockwise. Be sure that it is closed firmly.
3 Turn the tank back over, and place it on the base while making sure that it is seated correctly.
4 When placing the water tank (2) back on the base, part of the water that it contains will transfer to the space existing between the tank and the body (11). This is how the device works normally and poses no hazard.
5 Plug in the humidifier, and turn it on using the on/off switch (1). The "on" indicator light will come on.
6 Select the desired steam flow rate using the steam flow regulator (9).
7 If condensation is observed close to the humidifier, select a lower steam flow rate.
8 When you want to stop the steam flow, select the "off" position using the on/off switch (1).
9 If there is insufficient water in the tank, the "empty tank indicator light" (12) will come on, and steam generation will be stopped. In this case, it will be necessary to turn off the humidifier and refill the tank with water before turning the device back on.

While the humidifier is operating, the water used will be filtered through an anti-bacteria filter (10) located in the base, thus preventing impurities from being emitted into the atmosphere.

4 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

▲ Before any cleaning operation, switch the appliance off and unplug it.

1 There may be some scale deposits in the transducer, particularly in areas with hard water. Overcome this drawback by cleaning the transducer with vinegar at least once a week, as follows:

a) Moisten a cotton bud with vinegar and wipe the transducer gently, until the scale deposits disappear completely.
b) Rub down with a dry cloth and remove remains of moisture.
c) Do not rub the transducer with solid objects.
d) Do not clean with chemical products.

2 Clean the inside of the water tank at least once a week, as follows:

a) Fill the tank with clean water adding a few drops of bleach or a similar disinfectant. Close the tank completely with its cap and shake forcibly.

b) Rinse thoroughly.

i Note: Water accumulated over long periods may create bacteria and mildew (fungus).
3 The outside of the appliance can be cleaned using a soft damp cloth.
4 Store the appliance in a cool, dry place.
5 Do not place the transducer directly under the tap.

Water must not get into the appliance; should this happen, take it to an authorised service centre before using it again.

5 OBSERVATIONS

Humidifiers using ultrasound technology produce smaller water particles which can more easily reach the lower respiratory tracts.
This type of humidifier is therefore suitable for the treatment of symptoms of the common cold and laryngitis.

Their use is not however recommended for persons with bronchial asthma and allergies.

- Domestic humidifiers are ideal for obtaining a comfortable humidity environment between 40% and 60%, the range in which the risk of respiratory infection is minimised.
