1.1 Intended Purpose

Young children commonly get about 6-8 colds and upper respiratory tract infections each year. Increasing the air moisture is a common way to help your child feel better when he is congested. The Ultrasonic Humidiefier generates a cool mist. This excludes the risk of your child getting accidentally burned.

One thing that makes winter uncomfortable for humans, even inside a nice warm building, is low humidity. People need a certain level of humidity to be comfortable. In the winter, indoor humidity can be extremely low and the lack of humidity can dry out your skin and mucous membranes. Low humidity also makes the air feel colder than it actually is. Dry air can also dry out the wood in the walls and floors of our houses. As the drying wood shrinks, it can cause creaks in floors and cracks in drywall and plaster. People tend to feel most comfortable at a relative humidity of about 45 percent. The Ultrasonic Humidifier 1801 will help to keep indoor humidity at a comfortable level.

1.2 Safety advice

• Always read the user guide instructions carefully before using the device
• Keep this User's Manual for future reference.
• Always put the humidifier on a hard, flat horizontal surface, at least 15cm from the walls and away from any source of heat such as burners, radiators etc. The humidifier cannot operate on a surface that is not horizontal.
• Keep the humidifier out of reach of children. Do not permit children to play with it.
• Before using the humidifier, unwind the cord and check if it is not damaged. Do not use it if the cord is damaged.
• Do not plug or unplug the humidifier with wet hands.
• Never disassemble the basic unit.
• Never operate the humidifier with a defective plug or cord, or after a breakdown or damage of any kind. In these cases, return the appliance to the nearest approved dealer/repairer for verification and any necessary repairs or adjustments.
• Do not use additives such as perfumes, essences, etc.
• Never add alkaline substances in the water tank.
• Do not shake the humidifier. This could spill water into the base unit and affect its operation.
• Do not leave the humidifier in the sun for a long period.
  If an unusual odour occurs during normal use, turn off the appliance, unplug it and have it verified by qualified personnel.
• Unplug the humidifier before cleaning if or removing the tank.
• Never touch the water or the immersed components when the appliance is in operation.
• Never turn on the humidifier when there is no water in the tank.
• Never scratch the transducer.
• To prevent any damage to the components, do not allow water to splash inside the base unit.
• Never wash the entire unit with water; do not immerse it.
• The ultrasonic humidifier should be cleaned regularly. To do this, refer to the cleaning instructions in this manual and respect them.
• Do not use the humidifier if the air in the room is already sufficiently moist (at least 50% relative humidity). Excessive humidity gives rise to condensation on cold surfaces or walls in the room.

4 Installation

• Put the humidifier on a flat surface in the room for half an hour. It is important that it reaches the ambient temperature.
  We recommend using the humidifier at a temperature between 5 and 40^ and a relative humidity of less than 50% .
• Remove the water tank (h) from the humidifier.
• Turn the water tank up side down.
• Unscrew the cap (b) by turning it counter clockwise.
• Fill the water tank with clear water (maximum 40^ ).
• Close the cover by turning clockwise.
• Verify the cleanliness and watertightness and then gently put the & water tank back on the base.
• Position the spray mouth (i) in the desired direction.
• Plug the power cord (d) in the main power wall connector with dry hands.

Do not remove the water tank when the humidifier is connected to the main power.

When you remove the water tank after usage, there will still be water in the water flume.

Remove the water from the tank and flume when it is not used for a long period.

Clean the water box, spray mouth and water flume if the humidifier is not used for a long period. Do not position the humidifier near heat sources or direct sunlight.

Do not aim the fume dispenser to furniture, electronic equipment or baby beds.

5 Simple operation

Operation and use of the control panel

1. On/off

• Press the On/Off button again to stop the humidifier.

2. Humidity control +

• Press this button to increase the humidity setting from 20% to 90% . After flashing for 5 seconds, the LCD display shows the level of ambient humidity (8).

When the moisture level reaches the pre-set value, the humidifier automatically stops for five minutes in order to test the humidity in the air.

3. Humidity control -

This function is similar to the "Moisture control +", but it decreases the humidity setting from 90% to 20%.

4. Ionizer

The air ioniser is a device which uses high voltage to ionise, or electrically negative charge, molecules of air. Negative ions help freshen and purify bad particles in the air, which are causing allergens such as pollen, mold spores, dust, and animal dander floating in the air. They help to lift mood, alleviate depression and seasonal affective disorder and promote a sense of well-being.

When the Humidifier is on:

Press the Ionizer button to start the ioniser. The ionizer icons (11) blink on the screen.
- Press the Ionizer button again to stop the ioniser.

5. Fog control

• Press the Fog control button to change the generated amount of Fog. The display will indicate the Fog level (9) (I = Maximum, II = Medium, III = Minimum).
