Assembly instructions The appliance must be fully assembled before use! We recommend that you refer to the gures “Overview” and “Assembly overview” when assembling. Base unit (Fig. a – c)

1. Screw the tubes (7) onto the stand (13). Use the four

screws (12), the metal plate (14), and the four nuts (15).

2. Attach the cover of the stand (16) to the stand tubes.

NOTE: The nuts and screws (17) are preinstalled on the rear of the switch housing.

3. Check if the screws (17) possibly have been screwed

into deeply. In this case, turn the screws back a little. Do not screw them out all the way! NOTE: If a screw or a bolt should have dropped o, proceed as follows:

• Hold the preassembled unit (motor (18), switch housing (6), and humidier base (10)) so that the motor points down.

• Insert one nut (M6) each into the shaft at the side of the recesses for the tubes.

• Screw the two screws (17) on the rear of the switch housing lightly into the nuts.

4. Set the preassembled unit for a depth of approxi-

mately 3 cm onto the stand tubes. NOTE: The humidier cable must be routed between the two tubes. Secure the preassembled unit to the stand tubes by tightening the two screws (17).

5. Fasten the base of the humidier (10)

with the large screw (ST4*25mm) to the base of the stand. For this, insert the screw from below through the stand and its cover into the small outer bore. (Fig. on the right) Fan (Fig. d)

6. Remove the preinstalled nut (20) from the motor (18).

Keep it close to hand.

Align the rear protection grid (19) with the motor recesses (18). NOTE: The handle must point upwards.

Humidier (Fig. e – f) The tube already may have been installed on the switch housing. In this case, continue the assembly from item 18.

16. Feed the tube (8) from front to back between the two

stand tubes (7). Then insert the tube from the bottom upwards through the opening on the underside of the switch housing (6). NOTE: The end of the tube with the tank cap must be positioned at the front above the humidier.

17. Insert the tube from the back to the front through the

opening on the top of the switch housing.

18. Pull the tube tight so that it lies at against the back

of the switch housing. NOTE: The two ends of the tube should have approximately the same length.

19. Connect the top end of the tube to the tube connec-

tor on the protection grid (22). NOTE: The tube above the switch housing must not “sag”. Water which accumulates in the tube prevents the formation of the mist. If necessary, push back the top section of the tube.
