• Dry air will dry out the mucous membranes, leading to coughs and sneezes, res- piratory infections and headaches. Tiredness, lack of concentration as well as cracked lips and dry eyes are often caused by dry air. Also, insufficient humidity might be a burden for people with allergies, pets and indoor plants. It will put music instruments out of tune and increase dust formation and the electrosta- tic charge of synthetic clothing.

• With the Solis 3 in 1 Airwasher Ionic you have made a good choice for coun- teracting these symptoms. It humidifies and cleans the air in the room based on a natural model, just like a refreshing shower of summer rain: On the inside of the Solis 3 in 1 Airwasher Ionic, humidification plates are spun through a water basin, the pollutants in the suctioned, dry air are naturally collected in the water. The air that is released back into the room is humid and clean. Thanks to a selectable ion function, dirt particles and bacteria are also removed from the air. SOLIS IONIC SILVER STICK (available as an accessory)

• Thanks to the Solis Ionic Silver Stick, you can reduce microbe growth in the appli- ance and thus ensure optimal water purity. The reason for this is the anti-micro- bial effect of silver: Once the stick comes into contact with water, silver ions are released until the necessary concentration in the water is reached. The stick is effective once it comes into contact with water, even when the appliance is switched off. The Solis Ionic Silver Stick is effective for one entire season (approx. 6 months) and is only designed for use in air humidifiers.77

• Before using your Airwasher for the first time, remove all possibly attached adver- tisement stickers.

• Should the outside temperature be below 0°C you should let the appliance stand at room temperature for approx. 1 hour before using it.

• Only use the appliance when the room temperature lies somewhere between 5°C and 40°C. The relative humidity should not exceed 80%. By the way: Relative humidity between 40% and 60% is ideal.

• Place the Airwasher on a stable, solid, dry, level and moisture resistant surface where it can not be knocked over. Soft rugs and carpets are not a suitable sur- face for the appliance to be placed on. Unimpeded air circulation around the appliance is extremely important for proper humification. We recommend a min- imum distance of 50 cm to walls, heaters and other objects.

• Carefully remove the appliance top by lifting it up. Use both hands and both car- rying handles.

• Place the Solis Ionic Silver Stick in the provided socket in the water basin.

• Pour fresh water into the water basin using a container. Please make sure not to exceed the MAX marking (see point 26 on page 71 of this manual). The water should not be too cold, but also not warmer than 30°C. If it makes it any eas- ier for you, feel free to remove the humidification plates when filling up.

• CAUTION: Do not mix any additives like essential oils or perfumes into the water! These additives damage the appliance resp. cause discolorations to the plastic. Appliances that are damaged by adding additives are excluded from warranty. For filling up, always lift the appliance top off the water basin and never fill the appliance by pouring water into the air outlet on the appliance top.78

• NOTE: Humidification will be even more effective if the filled water is not very cold. However, the water temperature should not exceed 30°C, otherwise the humidification plates and other appliance parts might be damaged. To prevent fast calcification, you can use filtered water if the water is very calciferous. How- ever, slight limescale on the humidification plates improve the humidification power, as the microstructure of the limescale causes even more water to stick to the plates.

• Check if the axle with the humidification plates is correctly placed in the socket in the water basin. The gear wheel of the humidification plates should be near the rear end of the basin. NOTE: The humidification plates will only properly fit into the socket when the gear wheel is placed in the rear end of the basin.

• Place the top back on the water basin. The small gear wheel on the appliance top (next to the filter) should be in position directly above the big gear wheel of the humidification plates.

• Plug the connection adapter into the appliance jack on the appliance back side and the power plug into the power outlet. The power supply symbol (1) illu- minates. gear wheel79

• The function buttons are touch sensitive sensor buttons. Briefly touching the function buttons will switch on the corresponding functions and illuminate the respective function displays. Every touch is accompanied by a signal sound.

• Touching the "power" button switches the appliance on with the "CURRENT HUMIDITY" (4) display lighting up and displaying the corresponding value immediately.

• Touching the "power" button a second time switches the appliance off.

• With the speed button, you can choose from 4 programs: AUTO: In automatic mode, the humidification power will be automatically adjusted to the current room humidity, meaning: If the current room humidity is less than 40% (the "CURRENT HUMIDITY" dis- play (4) will state "LOW"), the appliance works at high speed. If the current room humidity is between 40% and 60% (the "CURRENT HUMID- ITY" display (4) will state "LOW" and "MID"), the appliance works at interme- diate speed. If the current room humidity is above 60% (the "CURRENT HUMIDITY" display (4) will state "LOW","MID" and "HIGH"), the appliance works at lowest speed. In the control panel, "AUTO" as well as the 6 bars indicating humidification power light up in an ascending order. LOW: In "LOW" mode, the lowest humidification power is set. The display "LOW" (10) and the first two bars light up in the control panel. MID: In "MID" mode, intermediate humidification power is set. The display "MID" (10) and the first four bars light up in the control panel. HIGH: In "HIGH" mode, the highest humidification power is set. The display "HIGH" (10) and all six bars light up in the control panel.80 ANION BUTTON FOR ACTIVATING THE ION FUNCTION (7)

• With the "anion" button, you can activate the negative ion generator to addi- tionally remove dirt particles and bacteria from the air.

• The display (3) illuminates. SLEEP BUTTON FOR ACTIVATING NIGHT MODE (8)

• With the "sleep" button, you can activate night mode, meaning all displays (except for the night mode and power supply displays) go out and the humidi- fication power is set to a low level.

• With the "timer" button you can determine the operation time of the Solis 3 in 1 Airwasher Ionic. Every touch of the "timer" button increases operation time by one hour, you can set the operation time between 1 and 8 hours. The con- trol panel will state the set number of hours (12) and count down. After the set time has elapsed, the appliance automatically switches off. LIGHT BUTTON FOR ACTIVATING BACKLIGHT (14)

• By pressing the "light" button, you can switch the control panel backlight on and off. ACTIVATING CHILD SAFETY MODE (13 + 14)

• Simultaneously touching both the "timer" (13) and the "light" (14) button for 3 seconds will activate child safety mode. Now, no further changes can be made to the appliance settings and the buttons will no longer react to being touched. The display will indicate that the child safety mode is switched on (11).

• If you wish to deactivate child safety mode, touch the buttons "timer" and "light" again for 3 seconds and the display for child safety mode (11) will go out.81 The following displays illuminate even when you have not activated a function:

• "CURRENT HUMIDITY" display (4) The "CURRENT HUMIDITY" display illuminates once the appliance has been acti- vated with the "power" button and displays the current degree of relative humid- ity in the room: LOW – room humidity is low, below 40% LOW and MID – room humidity is intermediate, between 40% and 60% LOW, MID and HIGH – room humidity is high, above 60% NOTE: The humidity switch built into the appliance measures humidity directly at the appliance. Another humidity switch, placed outside of the appliance, might show a different humidity value.

• "WATER SHORTAGE" display (5) Should the water level in the water basin fall below the minimum, the display "WATER SHORTAGE" (5) will illuminate on the control panel and the appliance will automatically switch off.82

OPERATION If the water basin is filled to the MAX marking (see point 26 on page 71 of this manual) with fresh tap water and the appliance is correctly assembled and con- nected to the power, you can start using it.

1. SWITCHING THE APPLIANCE ON

Touch the "power" button to switch the appliance on. The current humidity will illuminate in the control panel, also "CURRENT HUMIDITY" and "LOW" for low humidity, "LOW + MID" for intermediate humidity or "LOW, MID + HIGH" for high humidity.

2. CHOOSING FUNCTIONS

Choose the desired functions. Set humidification power with the "speed" but- ton. If you wish, activate the ion, night and light functions. If needed, set the operation time with the "timer" button. The child safety mode can also be acti- vated.

• In general: The higher the room temperature is, the faster the humidification will be.

• NOTE: Should you lift the appliance top and separate it from the water basin, the appliance will automatically stop. Only after the appliance top has been prop- erly replaced on the water-filled water basin the appliance will reactivate.

• The appliance will also switch off if the water basin is no longer filled with enough water. In this case, the display (5) illuminates and the appliance switches off.

• Before refilling the appliance with water, please always switch the appliance off with the "power" button (16) and pull the power plug from the power socket resp. the connection adapter from the appliance jack first. Then, use both hands to lift off the appliance top. Fresh tap water can now be refilled. Please make sure that the water level does not exceed the MAX marking (see point 26 on page 71 of this manual).▲ AFTER USE

• If you want to fully deactivate the appliance, always touch the "power" button (16) before disconnecting the power cord from the power socket resp. the appli- ance.

• If you do not want to use the appliance for more than 2 days, we recommend pouring out the water in the water basin and drying the water basin with a dry cloth as well as letting the humidification plates air-dry with the appliance opened.

• In general, we recommend always pouring the water remaining in the water basin away before refilling fresh water.

• Important: Before pouring away the water, always remove the humidifi- cation plates as well as the Solis Ionic Silver Stick from the basin.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• The recommended cleaning intervals are dependent on air and water quality as well as operation time and frequency.

• Before cleaning, always switch the appliance off and pull the power plug from the socket resp. the power cord from the appliance by pulling the connection adapter from the appliance jack.

• We recommend refilling fresh water on a daily basis. WEEKLY CLEANING OF THE WATER BASIN AND HUMIDIFICATION PLATES

• Dirt particles and microorganisms collect in the water basin during use, which is why the basin has to be cleaned regularly, at least once a week. Use tap water (max. 30°C warm!) with a small amount of mild detergent and a soft cloth resp. a soft sponge. After that, thoroughly rinse the basin inside with water. Dry the basin inside with a soft cloth and let it air-dry while the appliance is open.

• Approx. every 4 weeks, the humidification plates should be cleaned. Remove the humidification plates from the water basin and loosen the plastic screw on the front side of the axle. The humidification plates can now be removed from the axle one by one. Clean the humidification plates with a cloth resp. soft sponge and warm (max. 30°C) tap water containing some mild detergent. Then, replace the humidification plates on the axle and finally replace the plas- tic screw before reinserting the humidification plates in the water basin.

• It is vital that the 3 in 1 Airwasher Ionic is completely drained and cleaned if the water-filled appliance has been out of use for more than one week.

• CAUTION: The humidification plates and the water basin can not be cleaned in the dishwasher!

• In general, do not use any aggressive or abrasive detergents or metal sponges, as these might damage the surface.DECALCIFYING THE WATER BASIN AND

THE HUMIDIFICATION PLATES

• If the water basin and the humidification plates are calcified, both should be cleaned with SOLIPOL

forte. Depending on water hardness, this should be done at least once a month, if the water is very hard even once every two weeks.

• Pour 3 liters of water (approx. 30°C warm) into the water basin and add 1 liter SOLIPOL

forte. Reassemble the appliance and let it run for at least one hour in a well ventilated spot (ideally outside, f.e. on the balcony). We recommend only using SOLIPOL

forte for decalcifying. The remedy of defects caused by improper decalcifying agents is excluded from warranty.

• Depending on the limescale deposits it may take longer for all limescale deposits to be removed.

• Afterwards, carefully rinse water basin and humidification plates with water and dry them.

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE TOP AND

THE WATER BASIN OUTSIDE

• Clean the appliance top and the outside of the water basin regularly with a slightly wet cloth and a mild detergent.

• In general, do not use any aggressive or abrasive detergents or metal sponges, as these might damage the surface.

• Check if the appliance is switched off and the power plug is pulled resp. the power cord is removed. The water has to be drained completely.

• Check if the appliance inside is completely clean and dry. If necessary, let the appliance stand open until the humidification plates and the water basin are dry on the inside.

• Keep the appliance standing upright in a dry, dark spot, best in the original pack- aging. Do not place anything on the appliance.

• Always keep the appliance and power cord out of the reach of children.▲ TROUBLESHOOTING
