• Dry air will dry out the mucous membranes, leading to coughs and sneezes, respiratory infec- tions and headaches. Tiredness, lack of concentration as well as cracked lips and dry eyes are often caused by dry air. Also, insufficient humidity might be a burden for people with allergies, pets and indoor plants. It will put music instruments out of tune and increase dust formation and the electrostatic charge of synthetic clothing.

• With this product you have made a good choice for counteracting these symptoms. It humidi- fies and cleans the air in the room based on a natural model, just like a refreshing shower of summer rain: On the inside of the Airwasher, 43 humidification plates are spun through a water basin, the pollutants in the suctioned, dry air are naturally collected in the water. The air that is released back into the room is humid and clean. Thanks to a selectable ion func- tion, dirt particles and bacteria are also removed from the air.

• Before using your Airwasher for the first time, remove all possibly attached advertisement stickers.

• Should the outside temperature be below 0°C you should let the appliance stand at room temperature for approx. 1 hour before using it.

• Only use the appliance when the room temperature lies somewhere between 5°C and 40°C. The relative humidity should not exceed 80%. By the way: Relative humidity between 40% and 60% is ideal.

• Place the Airwasher on a stable, solid, dry, level and moisture resistant surface where it can not be knocked over. Soft rugs and carpets are not a suitable surface for the appliance to be placed on. Unimpeded air circulation around the appliance is extremely important for proper humification. We recommend a minimum distance of 50 cm to walls, heaters and other objects.

• Carefully remove the appliance top by lifting it up. Use both hands and both carrying handles.

• Pour fresh water into the water basin using a container. Please make sure not to exceed the MAX marking (see point 26 on page 71 of this manual). The water should not be too cold, but also not warmer than 30°C. If it makes it any easier for you, feel free to remove the hu- midification plates when filling up.

• CAUTION: Do not mix any additives like essential oils or perfumes into the water! These additives damage the appliance resp. cause discolorations to the plastic. Appliances that are damaged by adding additives are excluded from warranty. For filling up, always lift the appliance top off the water basin and never fill the appliance by pouring water into the air outlet on the appliance top.

• NOTE: Humidification will be even more effective if the filled water is not very cold. However, the water temperature should not exceed 30°C, otherwise the humidification plates and other appliance parts might be damaged. To prevent fast calcification, you can use filtered80

water if the water is very calciferous. However, slight limescale on the humidification plates improve the humidification power, as the microstructure of the limescale causes even more water to stick to the plates.

• Check if the axle with the humidification plates is correctly placed in the socket in the water basin. The gear wheel of the humidification plates should be near the rear end of the basin. NOTE: The humidification plates will only properly fit into the socket when the gear wheel is placed in the rear end of the basin.

• Place the top back on the water basin. The small gear wheel on the appliance top (next to the filter) should be in position directly above the big gear wheel of the humidification plates.

• Plug the connection adapter into the appliance jack on the appliance back side and the power plug into the power outlet. The power supply symbol (1) illuminates. Gear wheel81

• Touching the “power” button a second time switches the appliance off.

2. Speed button for program selection resp. for setting humidification power (9)

• With the speed button, you can choose from 4 programs: AUTO: In automatic mode, the humidification power will be automatically adjusted to the current room humidity, meaning: - If the current room humidity is less than 40% (the “CURRENT HUMIDITY” display (4) will state “LOW”), the appliance works at high speed. - If the current room humidity is between 40% and 60% (the “CURRENT HUMIDITY” display (4) will state “LOW” and “MID”), the appliance works at intermediate speed. - If the current room humidity is above 60% (the “CURRENT HUMIDITY” display (4) will state “LOW”,”MID” and “HIGH”), the appliance works at lowest speed. In the control panel, “AUTO” as well as the 6 bars indicating humidification power light up in an ascending order. LOW: In “LOW” mode, the lowest humidification power is set. The display “LOW” (10) and the first two bars light up in the control panel. MID: In “MID” mode, intermediate humidification power is set. The display “MID” (10) and the first four bars light up in the control panel. HIGH: In “HIGH” mode, the highest humidification power is set. The display “HIGH” (10) and all six bars light up in the control panel.

3. Anion button for activating the ion function (7)

• With the “anion” button, you can activate the negative ion generator to additionally remove dirt particles and bacteria from the air.

• With the “sleep” button, you can activate night mode, meaning all displays (except for the night mode and power supply displays) go out and the humidification power is set to a low level.

5. Timer button for activating the timer function (13)

• With the “timer” button you can determine the operation time of the Airwasher. Every touch of the “timer” button increases operation time by one hour, you can set the operation time82

between 1 and 8 hours. The control panel will state the set number of hours (12) and count down. After the set time has elapsed, the appliance automatically switches off.

6. Light button for activating backlight (14)

• By pressing the “light” button, you can switch the control panel backlight on and off.

7. Activating child safety mode (13 + 14)

• Simultaneously touching both the “timer” (13) and the “light” (14) button for 3 seconds will activate child safety mode. Now, no further changes can be made to the appliance settings and the buttons will no longer react to being touched. The display will indicate that the child safety mode is switched on (11).

• If you wish to deactivate child safety mode, touch the buttons “timer” and “light” again for 3 seconds and the display for child safety mode (11) will go out. The following displays illuminate even when you have not activated a function:

• “CURRENT HUMIDITY” display (4) The “CURRENT HUMIDITY” display illuminates once the appliance has been activated with the “power” button and displays the current degree of relative humidity in the room: LOW: room humidity is low, below 40% LOW e MID: room humidity is intermediate, between 40% and 60% LOW, MID e HIGH: room humidity is high, above 60% NOTE: The humidity switch built into the appliance measures humidity directly at the ap- pliance. Another humidity switch, placed outside of the appliance, might show a different humidity value.

• “WATER SHORTAGE” display (5) Should the water level in the water basin fall below the minimum, the display “WATER SHORTAGE” (5) will illuminate on the control panel and the appliance will automatically switch off.83

If the water basin is filled to the MAX marking (see point 26 on page 71 of this manual) with fresh tap water and the appliance is correctly assembled and connected to the power, you can start using it.

1. Switching the appliance on

• Touch the “power” button to switch the appliance on. The current humidity will illuminate in the control panel, also “CURRENT HUMIDITY” and “LOW” for low humidity, “LOW + MID” for intermediate humidity or “LOW, MID + HIGH” for high humidity.

2. Choosing functions

• Choose the desired functions. Set humidification power with the “speed” button. If you wish, activate the ion, night and light functions. If needed, set the operation time with the “timer” button. The child safety mode can also be activated.

• In general: The higher the room temperature is, the faster the humidification will be.

• NOTE: Should you lift the appliance top and separate it from the water basin, the appliance will automatically stop. Only after the appliance top has been properly replaced on the water- filled water basin the appliance will reactivate.

• The appliance will also switch off if the water basin is no longer filled with enough water. In this case, the display (5) illuminates and the appliance switches off.

• Before refilling the appliance with water, please always switch the appliance off with the “power” button (16) and pull the power plug from the power socket resp. the connection adapter from the appliance jack first. Then, use both hands to lift off the appliance top. Fresh tap water can now be refilled. Please make sure that the water level does not exceed the MAX marking (see point 26 on page 71 of this manual).84

• If you want to fully deactivate the appliance, always touch the “power” button (16) before disconnecting the power cord from the power socket resp. the appliance.

• If you do not want to use the appliance for more than 2 days, we recommend pouring out the water in the water basin and drying the water basin with a dry cloth as well as letting the humidification plates airdry with the appliance opened.

• In general, we recommend always pouring the water remaining in the water basin away before refilling fresh water.

• Important: Before pouring away the water, always remove the humidification plates.

• The recommended cleaning intervals are dependent on air and water quality as well as op- eration time and frequency.

• Before cleaning, always switch the appliance off and pull the power plug from the socket resp. the power cord from the appliance by pulling the connection adapter from the appli- ance jack.

• We recommend refilling fresh water on a daily basis.

1. Weekly cleaning of the water basin and humidification plates

• Dirt particles and microorganisms collect in the water basin during use, which is why the ba- sin has to be cleaned regularly, at least once a week. Use tap water (max. 30°C warm!) with a small amount of mild detergent and a soft cloth resp. a soft sponge. After that, thoroughly rinse the basin inside with water. Dry the basin inside with a soft cloth and let it airdry while the appliance is open.

• Approx. every 4 weeks, the humidification plates should be cleaned. Remove the humidifica- tion plates from the water basin and loosen the plastic screw on the front side of the axle. The humidification plates can now be removed from the axle one by one. Clean the humidi- fication plates with a cloth resp. soft sponge and warm (max. 30°C) tap water containing some mild detergent. Then, replace the humidification plates on the axle and finally replace the plastic screw before reinserting the humidification plates in the water basin.

• It is vital that the Airwasher Ionic is completely drained and cleaned if the waterfilled appli- ance has been out of use for more than one week.

• CAUTION: The humidification plates and the water basin can not be cleaned in the dish- washer!

• In general, do not use any aggressive or abrasive detergents or metal sponges, as these might damage the surface.

2. Decalcifying the water basin and the humidification plates

• If the water basin and the humidification plates are calcified, both should be cleaned with a decalcifying agents, depending on water hardness, this should be done at least once a

month, if the water is very hard even once every two weeks.

• Pour 3 liters of water (approx. 30°C warm) into the water basin and add the decalcifier. Reassemble the appliance and let it run for at least one hour in a well ventilated spot (ideally outside, f.e. on the balcony). The remedy of defects caused by improper decalcifying agents is excluded from warranty.

• Depending on the limescale deposits it may take longer for all limescale deposits to be removed.

• Afterwards, carefully rinse water basin and humidification plates with water and dry them.

3. Cleaning the appliance top and the water basin outside

• Clean the appliance top and the outside of the water basin regularly with a slightly wet cloth and a mild detergent.

• In general, do not use any aggressive or abrasive detergents or metal sponges, as these might damage the surface.

• Check if the appliance is switched off and the power plug is pulled resp. the power cord is removed. The water has to be drained completely.

• Check if the appliance inside is completely clean and dry. If necessary, let the appliance stand open until the humidification plates and the water basin are dry on the inside.

• Keep the appliance standing upright in a dry, dark spot, best in the original packaging. Do not place anything on the appliance.

• Always keep the appliance and power cord out of the reach of children.86

• The function “LOW” was selected, using the “speed” button.

• The water in the water basin is very cold.

• Select a higher humidifica- tion power, f.e. “MID” or “HIGH”.

• Select the humidification power “HIGH” with the “speed” button. After 10 minutes, humidification power will have increased. No humidification power.

• The power plug is not connected to the power outlet or the con- nection adapter is not correctly plugged into the appliance jack.

• The warning light “WATER SHORT- AGE” has illuminated, then the appliance and all displays have turned off.

• Firmly connect the power plug to the socket and the connection adapter to the appliance jack.

• Fill the water basin up to the MAX marking with fresh tap water, then reinstall the appliance top. An independent humidity switch measures a differ- ent humidity value from the display on the appliance.

• Dirt has collected in the air outlet or inlet opening.

• The appliance is placed near a window or an open door.

• Clean the air inlet and outlet openings. NOTE: Even within one room, different values for humidity can be measured. The “CURRENT HUMIDITY” value only refers to the humidity directly by the appliance.

• Place the appliance in a spot free of draft. The escaping air smells unpleasantly.

• There is old water in the water basin.

• Old water was left over in the water basin and merely mixed with new water.

• Drain the water and clean the appliance as described in “Cleaning and mainte- nance”. Fill the water basin with fresh tap water.87
