Frequently Asked Questions - U7144 BONECO

How should I install the Boneco U7144 humidifier?

Place the device on a dry, flat surface, at least 50 cm from walls and objects. Do not place it on the floor or near a radiator. Point the mist nozzle away from plants and furniture. Plug in after filling the tank.

What type of water should I use?

Use cold tap water. Do not add any additives (essential oils, perfumes, conditioners). Using additives can damage the device and void the warranty.

How do I fill the water tank?

Unplug the device. Remove the tank and cap. Fill with cold water (do not exceed the max level). Tightly close the cap, replace the tank on the base, then insert the nozzle. Plug in and turn on.

What should I do if the device does not produce mist?

Check that the tank is filled and the nozzle is not blocked. Make sure the hygrostat is set to a level higher than the ambient humidity. If the problem persists, clean the membrane with the provided brush.

How do I set the desired humidity?

Use button B (hygrostat) to select a level between 40 and 60 % RH. The display shows the set value. The device stops automatically when the humidity reaches that level.

What is the preheating function and when should I use it?

The preheating function (button E) heats the water to 80 °C before nebulization, producing mist at 40 °C. This prevents cooling the room and improves hygiene by killing bacteria. Ideal in winter.

How often should I clean the humidifier?

Clean the tank and the nebulization area once a week with clear water. Descale the membrane regularly. The CLEAN indicator lights up every 2 weeks to remind you to clean.

How do I replace the anti-limescale cartridge?

Remove the tank, unscrew the used cartridge from the cap. You can either replace the resin (option A) or change the entire cartridge (option B). After replacement, soak the new cartridge in water for 24 hours before use.

What does the symbol L on the display mean?

The symbol L indicates that the tank is empty or the water level is too low. Fill the tank with cold water. The symbol may remain lit for a few seconds after adding water.

How long is the humidifier guaranteed?

The warranty is determined by the national representative. It is valid upon presentation of the invoice. For any claims, contact your authorized dealer. The warranty does not cover damage caused by the use of additives.

Description of the appliance

Filling the tank

Always switch off the appliance before removing the water tank. Do not reach inside the nebuliser space while the appliance is running!

Do not operate the appliance when the water tank is empty! When the water reaches the minimum level, the unit switches off automatically.

• Make sure that there are no foreign objects inside the water tank.
• Remove the water tank cap from the tank (11) (Warning: mist outlet is loosely inserted!). Fill the tank with clean, cold tap water (12). Close the cap of the water tank securely! Place the water tank onto the base and insert the mist outlet (13). Do not add any additives to the water (14)!
• Insert the plug into the power socket and switch on the appliance (15).

Water quality maintenance

The innovative Ionic Silver Stick® (16) uses the proven antibacterial properties of silver to keep the water free from harmful bacteria and germs. The Ionic Silver Stick releases silver ions into the water over a period of more than one year. It is self-renewing and needs no maintenance. Look at picture 16 for the position of the ISS in the appliance. Do not reach inside the nebuliser space during operation. Switch off the unit first.

Use of fragrances

Water additives (e.g. essential oils, fragrances, water conditioners etc.) must NOT be used! Even a small amount can cause damage to the tank material. The material is not suitable for the use of such additives. One drop is enough to damage the tank and render the appliance unusable. Appliances that are damaged by such additives will not be covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Operation U7144 tons are pressed, the unit will no longer for seconds or sleep

A) Switching on/off

You can switch the unit on or off by pressing button A. This button is also used to reset the cleaning indicator light (by holding down).

B) Hygrostat (pre-set moisture level)

By pressing button B you can set the desired moisture level in %. A relative moisture of between 40 and 60% is recommended. The accuracy of measurement is +/- 5%. The unit will switch off when the moisture level exceeds the desired setting. During selection the target value is displayed. The display will automatically show the current value after a

C) Timer

Using button C, the operation time can be set - adjustable between 1 and 8 hours, or continuous operation. Letter G shows the operating period that has been set (1h/2h/3h/4h/5h/6h/7h/8h). The display will automatically show the current value after a few seconds.

D) Controlling mist output and Evaporator output

By repeatedly pressing button D you can control the mist output. The LO/ME/HI display (H) shows which of the three levels (low/medium/high) you have selected.

E) Operation with pre-heating

Button E is used for switching the pre-heating on and off (letter I lights up). As a result, the water is pre-heated to a temperature of 80 °C before entering the nebuliser space. It takes approx. 10 to 15 minutes for the water in the base to warm up. The mist now leaves the nebuliser space at a pleasant temperature of 40 °C. The advantage of this is that the room temperature does not drop and, in addition, it significantly improves the water quality maintenance (bacteria are killed).

F) Auto/Sleep

The automatic and sleep modes can be activated by pressing button F. By pressing the button once, the automatic function is switched on (letter J appears on the display), maintaining the optimum humidity subject to the temperature. Control takes place by means of output quantity and pre-set target value. If the sleep function is switched on (the letter K appears on the display), the target humidity is 60%; the operation time is automatically set at 6 hours; the heating is switched on. In addition, the output quantity is also controlled subject to the difference between the target value and the actual value.

The Timer cannot be changed in either mode. If other but-

mode.

L) Empty indicator

The transparent water tank makes it possible to see the water level well. Furthermore, the unit shows on the display (L) when water should be added.

Please read the chapter «Filling the tank» for more information. The symbol L may stay illuminated for some seconds with a refilled tank until the base is filled with water.

M) Cleaning indicator

If symbol M and «CLEAN» appear on the display, the appliance should be cleaned as recommended by the manufacturer. This symbol comes on automatically every 2 weeks, depending on the level of use. The display can be cancelled by depressing button A for between 10 and 15 seconds.

Cleaning/Maintenance

• Dispose of the contents of the cartridge (resin) (26) Caution! Resin that lands on a smooth floor can be very slippery!
• Place the enclosed pink styrofoam piece in the center of the cartridge. Do not push it to the bottom as it will be difficult to remove afterwards (27).
• Pour the contents of one refill resin bag into the plastic cup that is included with the refill resin packaging (28).

• Place the empty cartridge with the plug in the center onto the plastic cup (29).

• Turn the plastic cup and cartridge over and shake until all resin is in the cartridge (30).

• Remove the plastic cup and the pink styrofoam piece from the cartridge (31) and retain for future use (the refill resin consists of 3 refill bags) (32).
• Close the cap (33).
• Soak the demineralisation cartridge in a bowl of water for at least 24 hours before use (36). The resin has to absorb water to achieve full performance!
• Now screw the cartridge onto the water tank cap (37). Close the tank cap securely! Place the water tank onto the base (38).

Option B: Replace the entire cartridge

• Remove the water tank from the base and unscrew the water tank cap (23).
