General information

Did you know that dry room air:

• Dries out the mucous membranes, and also causes chapped lips and stinging eyes?
• Encourages infections and illnesses of the respiratory system?
  Causes weariness, tiredness and poor concentration?
  Stresses household pets and house plants?
• Encourages the formation of dust and the electrostatic charging of textiles made of synthetic fibers, as well as carpets and plastic flooring?
• Damages wooden furniture and especially parquet floors?
• Causes musical instruments to go out of tune?

A comfortable indoor atmosphere is achieved at a relative humidity of between 40 and 60% . Air humidification is especially sensible in winter, but does not replace the regular airing of living spaces.

Caution: hot steam!

Description of the appliance Operation

• Position the device on a level, stable and water-resistant surface.
• Do not position the device directly beneath a plug socket.
• When positioning the device, ensure that it is steady and that the airflow is not obstructed by objects such as furniture or curtains. Position the device at least 2 m away from walls, furniture and curtains (risk of damage from humidity).
• Do not position the device close to radiators or other heat sources. Ensure that no one can trip over the power cable and that the device is out of reach of children (the steam expelled is hot). Do not allow children to play with the device.

Use the device only in dry rooms of 60m^2/ 150 m² in size, and do not use extension cables.

Filling up the water

• Use the ON/OFF switch to turn the device off.
• Remove the plug from the mains.
• Remove the upper housing cover (Warning: hot after operation!) and remove the water tank from the device
• Turn the water tank upside down and unscrew the cap.
• Empty any remaining water and rinse the tank thoroughly.
• Fill the tank with water and screw the cap on tightly.

Warning!

• Use tap water only, i.e. not mineral water or any other softened water! Do not, under any circumstances, add other substances (such as scents) to the water!
• Never pour water into the steam outlet!
• Add scents only to the scent container and not directly to the water!

Operation indicator

• Green = Device is in use (ON)
  Red = Water level empty (vaporizer board switched off)

When the tank is empty, the vaporizer board is turned off automatically. As soon as the tank is refilled, the board is turned on again.

The first time you turn the device on, or if you have not used it for a long time, bear in mind that it takes some time for the water circulation

system to fill up. As such, the red light may stay illuminated for 1 - 2 minutes.

Fragrance container

• Add only a small amount of fragrances, essences or inhalants to the fragrance container.
• Warning! Do not add fragrances directly to the water in the tank!

Turning the device on

• Insert plug into mains socket.
• Use the ON/OFF switch to turn the device on.

A) ON/OFF switch with indicator light «POWER»

• Green LED is illuminated when device is switched on.

B) Setting switch for two levels:

High humidity output (NORMAL)
Low humidity output (ECO)

After use

• Use the ON/OFF switch to turn the device off.
• Remove the plug from the mains socket.
• Wait until the device has cooled fully
• Empty any remaining water and rinse the water tank thoroughly.

Clean and maintain the device regularly to ensure that it operates hygienically and smoothly.

• Weekly: Clean housing parts and water tank.
• Depending on quantity of timescale: descale Calc Ball and vaporizer board (see «Cleaning and maintenance»)
• Annually: clean the device after the heating season.
• Ensure the device is allowed to dry fully before putting it into storage.

Cleaning and maintenance

Remove the plug from the mains before cleaning, maintaining, descending or rinsing the device.

• Allow the device to cool fully.
• Never immerse the basic device (including the cable) in water or any other liquid.
• Empty any remaining water from the device and water tank and rinse the water tank thoroughly.

• Lift up the cover for the vaporizer unit to remove it.

• The Calc Ball absorbs a large proportion of the limeste scale particles. It hinders calcification by moving across the vaporizer board. Depending on the level of limeste, the Calc Ball needs to be cleaned at regular intervals (immense the Calc Ball completely in limeste-scale-remover).

• The vaporizer board also needs to be descaled on a regular basis. Creates steam when in operation: Warning! Hot! If limescale deposits form around the vaporizer board, descale the device with domestic limescale-remover (mixing ratio limescale-remover: water = 2:1). To do so, apply limescale-remover to the black vaporizer board (avoiding any plastic components!). After the limescale remover has taken effect, use a cloth to remove any residue and then wipe the vaporizer board dry. Important: do not use any abrasive implements (knives etc.) or scouring pads as this damages the non-stick coating!
• Clean the housing with a damp cloth then wipe it dry.

Notes on how a steam humidifier works

• In the steam humidifier principle, the vaporizer board heats up the water to the boiling point so that it vaporizes.
• Humidity is heavily restricted by circulating air (for example, in rooms with open/poorly sealed windows or in elevated rooms).
• Please note that humidity rises with warm air and this can cause unwanted condensation in some areas.

Storing the appliance for extended periods

Clean the appliance as described earlier and allow to dry thoroughly. Preferably store the appliance in its original box, in a dry place away from high temperatures.
