• washes and humidifies the air without filter mats

• includes an innovative water quality maintenance system (ISS)

• runs with little noise at two operation modes

• is suitable for room sizes up to 50 m

• is manufactured with high-quality components with a long lifespan In the inside of the air washer, special humidifier discs rotate through a water bath and in doing so clean the air streaming by of impurities in a natural way – as the air is washed clean by the rain in nature. Air humidifi- cation occurs following the self-regulating principle of cold evaporation. Therefore the air washer creates opti- mum air moisture, without additional control units being necessary. Humidifier discs The new disc package from the W2255 air washer is manufactured of the material SAN. The patented honey- comb structure of the humidifier discs allows proven re- lease of large amounts of water into the air. The unit cleans the air with nature as its model. In addition, the unit also guarantees filtering of pollutants as well as pollen and animal hair from the air. Ionic Silver Stick

(ISS) (7) The Ionic Silver Stick

utilizes the antimicrobial property of silver and provides a year of optimum water quality maintenance in all AIR-O-SWISS and BONECO humi- difiers. The ISS begins working as soon as it comes into contact with water – even if the unit is switched off. The ISS is intended exclusively for use in humidifiers. Safety instructions

• Remember to ensure easy accessibility and sufficient room for servicing and cleaning the air washer.

• For higher evaporator performance in large rooms, place the air washer near a heater (do not exceed max. temperature of 50°C). Filling with water (8 – 10) Only fill the water tank with fresh, cold tap water. Do not pressurize the water tank, e.g. by filling it with carbonated mineral water. Do not add essential oils or fragrances to the water; the plastic material could possibly be discolored or damaged. Close the screw cap completely to prevent leakage from the water tank. Putting into operation (11 – 15) Connect the air washer to the electric grid and position the rotary switch to the medium or large dot as neces- sary. The LED display (D) lights up green. To shut the unit off, position the rotary switch to the small dot (picture 12, dot A). The air washer

• Regular cleaning is a requirement for hygienic, trouble-free operation.

• Recommended cleaning intervals depend on air and water quality as well as operating time.

• The air washer can easily be taken apart for cleaning without tools. The air washer must be emptied completely and cleaned if the unit filled with water has not been in operation for longer than a week. Remove the ISS from the bottom base before cleaning. Cleaning the housing – once or twice annually (20 – 21)

• First clean the housing with a damp cleaning rag and wipe it dry; if necessary, use plastic cleaning agent.

• Wipe out the inside of the housing top assembly with a damp cleaning rag. Cleaning the water tank and bottom base – every 2 weeks (22– 26)

• Remove deposits from the bottom base with a plastic or wooden brush and a diluted commercial dish detergent.
