Scope of de- livery and pack- aging16 2 Useful Information / 3 Operating

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 ul- trasound technology of the personal humidier uses oscillation to convert water into a ne mist that increases the moisture level of the air. This im- proves the air quality and prevents the mucous membranes and skin from drying out.

Ultra- sound techno- logy 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 humidier 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. Before you switch on the device for the rst time, leave it for half an hour at room temperature.

Filling the water tank

Before you can use the device, you need to remove the insulation foil from the battery compartment of the remote control. If the air humidier no longer responds to the remote control, the battery needs to be replaced. Press the locking tab in the direction of the arrow and pull out the battery holder. Replace the used battery with a new one (CR 2025 lithium battery). Make sure, that the polarity is correct (“+” facing upwards). Slide the battery holder all the way back in, until it clicks into place.
