2 Useful Information

Thank you for your confidence in us and congratulations on your purchase!

You have acquired a quality product with your purchase of the MEDISANA personal humidifier AH 662. To ensure the best results and long-term satisfaction with your MEDISANA personal humidifier AH 662, we recommend that you read the following operating and maintenance instructions carefully.

2.1 Items supplied and packaging

Please check first of all that the device is complete and is not damaged in any way. In case of doubt, do not use it and contact your supplier or your service centre.

The following parts are included:

• 1 MEDISANA personal humidifier AH 662 - 1 Instruction manual - 1 Cleaning brush

The packaging can be reused or recycled. Please dispose properly of any packaging material no longer required. If you notice any transport damage during unpacking, please contact your supplier without delay.

WARNING

Please ensure that the polythene packing is kept away from the reach of children! Risk of suffocation!

2.2 Intensive personal humidifier

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, 12

energy-saving ultrasound technology of the personal 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 8m^2 . 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, condensation / residues may be produced. Make sure that the mist being issued is not directed towards electronic appliances, furniture or walls.

3.1 Filling and emptying the water tank

Before you switch on the device for the first time, leave it for half an hour at room temperature. Detach the water tank 3 from the device and turn it over. Unscrew the cap 4. Rinse out the water tank and then fill it up with a maximum of 0.9 l drinking water. Seal the tank again by screwing the cap 4 back in. Make sure that the water canister 5 is empty. Turn the water tank over again and place it back in the device so that it audibly engages. 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 (max. 40^ ) 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. Do not pour the aroma oil directly into the water tank.

3.2 Switching the unit on and off

When required, remove the aroma compartment lid 1, add a few drops of aroma oil to the compartment and replace the aroma compartment lid Plug the device into a properly installed power socket. Turn on the humidifier by pressing the ON/OFF button 6 once. The integrated control LEDs in the lower section of the housing light up blue. When the water tank is getting low, they flash blue and red alternately. When the water tank is empty, they light up red.

After a few seconds the mist from the outlet 2 will be visible. Switch off the device when not in use or if there is no water in the tank (the control LEDs light up red) by pressing the ON/OFF button 6 once. The device switches itself off automatically when the water tank is empty. With a full water tank, the maximum operating time is approx. 15 hours.

3.3 Faults and Fault Remedying

• Device will not switch on (LED not illuminating): Plug in the plug; Check power circuit, socket and fuse.
• No mist (LED lights up red): Fill water tank.
• No mist although tank full: Close the lid properly or too much water in the water canister.
• Mist intensity too weak: too much residue in the water canister, clean the ultrasonic transducer/water too dirty, replace.

• White deposits: Use clean water or at least 1/2 distilled water / 1/2 fresh tap water.

• Unusual smell: polluted or stagnant water, clean the tank and fill up with fresh water.

• Unusual noise: insufficient water in the tank, fill up with water/device is not on a solid surface, place on a stable and level surface.

If a fault cannot be remedied using the described method, please contact your service centre.
