2.2 Ultrasonic technology

Very dry air increases susceptibility to infection and respiratory diseases and leads to fatigue and lack of concentration. Healthy air should have a relative atmospheric humidity of 40 to 55 %. The quiet, energy saving ultrasound technology of the air humidifier uses oscillation to convert water into a fine mist that increases the moisture level of the air. This improves the air quality and prevents the mucous membranes and skin from drying out. The capacity of the device is suitable for a room with a maximum area of 30 m2. You can adjust the level of humidity to the size of the room using the buttons of the control panel

Pay special attention to the notes on cleaning and care. CAUTION Over-intensive operation can result in saturating the room with moisture, which can affect the walls, windows and objects in the room.Therefore, use a hygrometer at regular intervals to check that the level of relative air humidity does not exceed 55% 3 Operating CAUTION Make sure that the MEDISANA air humidifier is operated on a surface which is resistant to water, and that it cannot tip over. In particular, when operated with mineralised water / aromatic essences, condensation / residues may be produced. You can turn the the mist outlet

. Make sure that the mist being issued is not directed towards electronic appliances, furniture or walls. Keep distance of at least 2 m.

Before starting up for the first time, allow the device to adjust to room temperature for half an hour, particularly if the outside temperature is less than 5°C. We recommend using the device at a temperature between 5 and 40°C with a relative humidity of below 80%. Do not use water that is above 40°C. Check the water canister

; make sure that this is empty.

3.2 Filling and emptying the water tank

Detach the water tank

from the device and turn it over. Unscrew the cap

. Rinse out the water tank and then fill it up above the water filler opening

with a maximum of 4.5 l drinking water. Seal the tank again by screwing the cap

back in. Turn the water tank over again and place it back in the device so that it audibly engages. Insert the mist outlet

. Do not move the unit when the water chamber is full. Dispose of the leftover water after use and rinse out the tank with fresh drinking water. Before using again, fill the tank with fresh drinking water. When you have switched off the unit and do not intend to use it for an extended period of time, remove and empty the water tank. CAUTION Only use fresh drinking water in the device. You can also use demineralised water, if the water is very hard and calciferous. Clean the device at regular intervals and remove lime and other deposits, to maintain its efficiency. Never operate the device when the water tank is empty.

switches off. A period of time between 1 and 24 hours can be preset. 0 means that all presets are deleted. 3 seconds after entering your preset, the time period starts counting down. The elapsing time is displayed in minute increments with the current humidity level at intervals of 5 seconds if a humidity level (humidistat) has been set. The time can be combined with the start time (preset).

6. HUMIDISTAT: This button can be used to set a required level of relative humidity in a room

in 5% increments from 40 to 95%. 0 means that all presets are deleted. 3 seconds after entering your present, the humidity controller starts to operate. It stops operating as soon as the current air humidity exceeds the preset value. The fan motor runs for another 5 minutes.

off of the water tank and turn the filter out of the cap

anti-clockwise. Turn the new filter in the reverse direction back into the cap. Descaling When using hard water, or water with a high mineral content, the device must be regularly descaled. Please use only citric acid for descaling (powder preparation from the chemist). Do not use any liquid descaler, descaling tablets or vinegar! - Empty out the device completely (tank and lower section). REMOVE THE WATER FILTER ! Ensure that no liquid runs into the air outlet of the lower section. - Place 4 tablespoons (approx.100g) of pure citric acid in the tank and fill up with 2000ml of water at 60 °C. Screw the tank shut and gently shake until the citric acid powder has dissolved. - Place the tank on the lower section. DO NOT SWITCH ON THE DEVICE! - Allow the descaling solution to cool in the tank/device (at least 3 hours). - Remove the tank from the device and, with a suitable brush (bottle brush or similar), scrub the interior and the mist chamber. Empty the contents of the tank and rinse well. - Empty the lower section. Make sure no liquid gets into the air outlet. Rub off persistent lime scale using the brush supplied, a cloth or cotton buds. Take care around the ultrasonic transducer! - Rinse the lower section well (Ensure that no liquid runs into the air outlet of the lower section).
