Vapo 360 - Humidifier LANAFORM - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL Vapo 360 LANAFORM

Vapo 360° INSTRUCTION MANUAL May we take this opportunity to thank you for the interest you have shown in the VAPO 360° by LANAFORM ®. This humidifier uses a high-frequency oscillator to produce ultrasonic waves and break up the water into minute droplets having a diameter of approximately 1 to 5 µm. The ventilation system diffuses water in the form of a cold vapour and thus ensures the desired level of humidity. This vapour may be seen as a fine mist issuing from the diffuser. If so required, the humidifier can diffuse mist through 360° via the automatic, rotating mist diffuser. PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FULLY BEFORE USING YOUR HUMIDIFIER, ESPECIALLY THESE BRIEF, FUNDAMENTAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

• Check that the mains power supply voltage corresponds to that shown on the unit.

• This unit is not intended to be used by any persons, including children, with reduced physical, sensorial or mental capacities, or by persons lacking experience or knowledge unless they have been provided, by a person in charge of safety, with supervision or prior instructions concerning the use of the unit. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the unit.

• Do not connect or disconnect the plug if your hands are wet.

• Never operate the unit with a damaged cable or plug, or after any damage or failure has occurred. In these cases, return the unit to the nearest, approved supplier/repair shop for inspection, repair or adjustment as the case may be.

• Never add any substances to the reservoir except demineralised tap water or distilled water.

• Never dismantle the base unit.

• Never switch on the humidifier when there is no water in the tank.

• Do not shake the unit. This may cause the water to overflow inside the base unit and prevent it from operating correctly.

• Never touch the water or immersed components when the unit is operating.

• To avoid any damage to components, never allow any water to splash inside the base unit.

• If any unusual smell is detected during normal use, switch off the unit, disconnect it and have it checked by a qualified person.

• Disconnect the unit before cleaning or removing the water reservoir.

• Never wash the whole unit in water and do not immerse it.

• The ultrasonic humidifier must be cleaned regularly. To do this, refer to the cleaning instructions in this manual and observe them fully.

• Do not leave the humidifier in the sun for long periods.

• Do not use the humidifier if the air in the room is already sufficiently humid (at least 50% relative humidity). Excess humidity is indicated by condensation on cold surfaces or cold walls in the room. To determine the relative humidity of the room correctly, use a hygrometer available in most large stores and equipment dealers.4

1. Place the unit on a solid, level surface. The humidifier must remain horizontal and not move about.

2. The humidifier must not be positioned close to a source of heat (cooker or open fire) and must not be exposed to direct sunlight. Keep it away from furniture and electrical equipment.

3. The mist generated by the humidifier must not be pointed directly at furniture or electrical equipment since they may

be damaged by the humidity. Instructions for use: 1. The operating environment for the humidifier is a temperature ranging from 5 to 40 °C, with a relative humidity of less than 50 % RH.

2. Use only boiled and cooled water (demineralised tap water) or distilled water for each use. Use clean water at a

temperature of less than 40 °C. Operating sequence

1. Remove the steam nozzle broadcaster, withdraw the water reservoir and remove its cap. Fill the reservoir using

demineralised tap water with a temperature of less than 40°C or distilled water. Screw the cap back on the reservoir and replace it in the main housing. Put the steam nozzle broadcaster back in position. 2.Connect the unit to a 220V/50Hz power supply.

3. Push the On/Off button. The indicator lamp lights up to show that the unit is operating. Within one or two minutes it

starts to generate mist. You can adjust the quantity of mist to your own requirements (up to the maximum setting).6

4. Once the reservoir is empty, the corresponding warning lamp lights up and the unit shuts down. If your want the unit

to continue to operate, add more water. VAPO 360° FUNCTIONS

1. Rotary Function of VAPO 360° :

If you want the vapour diffuser tip to rotate, press the rotation control button on the control panel or remote control. The vapour diffuser tip will begin to turn through 360°. After 10 hours of rotating operation, please stop the appliance for at least 2 hours to prolong its working life.

Once started, the Vapo 360° humidifier is set in the factory to run until the tank is empty. However, you can set the Vapo 360° operating time. This can vary from 1 to 10 hours. To do this, press the "Timer" control button on the control panel or the remote control and select your chosen duration by pressing on the key to increase the duration or to reduce it.

Press the corresponding key on the control panel or the remote control so that the appliance releases negative ions or not.
