8.1 Suitable essential oils

CAUTION! Under some circumstances, drops of oil can damage the surface of furniture. If necessary, place a coaster under the aroma diffuser.

• Use only scented oils and/or other essential oils (not provided).

• Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions on scented oils and/or essential oils.

Connect to the mains by plugging the mains power adapter (5) into a mains socket which complies with the power adapter specifications. Then insert the connector on the cable into the plug socket (7) on the diffuser casing (1).

CAUTION! If the device is faulty or used incorrectly (too much liquid added), liquid can leak out of the bottom of the device. CAUTION! If there is no liquid in the water reservoir (4), the diffuser cannot be switched on using the button (8). Instead, the aroma diffuser flashes three times. However, the light effects can be adjusted using the button (6). The individual parts of the aroma diffuser [diffuser casing (1), glass cylinder (2), water reservoir (4) and lid (3)] can easily be dismantled and put back together again without tools. This makes it easy to fill and to clean. The procedure for filling is as follows:SilverCrest SADD 12 A1 English - 47

• Lift the glass cylinder (2) up out of the diffuser casing (1).

• Then lift out the water reservoir (4) and the lid (3).

• Remove the lid (3) from the water reservoir (4). To do this, hold the lid (3) by the edge and not by the “flame”, as it is very delicate and could break off.

• Put a few drops of scented or essential oil into the water reservoir (4) in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.

• Fill the water reservoir (4) with water. To enable the device to work correctly, at least the bottom of the water reservoir (4) must be completely covered with water. The maximum water level is shown by the arrow marker inside the water reservoir (4). The water must not be higher than the top edge of the level shown by the marker.

• Then place the water reservoir (4) into the diffuser casing (1) without the lid (3). The round guide on the base of the diffuser casing (1) must engage into the matching recess on the base of the water reservoir (4). Adjust the water reservoir by twisting it gently to the left/right to ensure the water reservoir (4) sits flat on the base of the diffuser casing (1). This ensures the aroma diffuser will work perfectly.SilverCrest SADD 12 A1

• Place the lid (3) back on the water reservoir (4), holding the lid (3) by the edge.

• Now place the glass cylinder (2) back into the diffuser casing (1). The aroma diffuser is now ready for you to use the diffuser function.

WARNING! Disconnect the aroma diffuser from the power supply before cleaning for safety reasons. To clean the diffuser casing (1), use a clean, soft cloth, which you can moisten slightly if necessary. Never use solvents or aggressive detergents. Make sure that no liquid gets into the housing. The water reservoir (4) must be cleaned after every use to remove oil residues as much as possible. Use a slightly damp, soft cloth. For stubborn dirt, add a few drops of mild detergent to the damp cloth. Then, remove any residues of the detergent used. If a reduced amount of mist is produced, clean the ceramic disc in the middle of the base of the water reservoir (4) using a slightly damp cotton bud.SilverCrest SADD 12 A1 English - 51
