2. Place the air humidifier in a suitable place (refer to safety measurements).

3. Please ensure that the steam outlet is not pointed towards people, furniture,

curtains, walls, electrical appliances or other heat resp. steam or moisture sen- sitive objects.

4. Remove the cover (C) using the removal loop (E) (Fig. 2) and check if the steam

duct (I) is correctly mounted and fastened to the water tank (tighten counter clock wisely).

5. Use a container to fill the water tank with cold tap water to the MAX marking

(H) (Fig. 3). A maximum of 2,8 liters can be filled in, the water level must not exceed the MAX marking.

6. Replace the cover onto the tank so that rests in the groove at the bottom and

lines up with the base.

7. If desired, you can put a few drops of fragrant essence or aroma oil into the

aroma tray (D) (Fig. 4). Please ensure that the oil resp. the essence does not come into contact with the surface of the cover (C), drip around the aroma tray or get into the steam outlet (F). The essence or the oil should not get into the tank water resp. the appliance interior.

Press the ON / OFF button (A) inwards, the function light (B) will illuminate (see Fig. 5) and the appliance will begin heating up.

WARNING: About 9 minutes after you have switched on the air humidifier,

steam will evaporate from the steam outlet (F)! Therefore, never keep your face or hands near the steam outlet (F) or cover it with objects. The steam is very hot and can cause serious burns.

THE WATER IS USED UP

When the water in the water tank (K) is used up, the air humidifier will stop, the control light (B) will go out but the ON / OFF button (A) will remain pushed-in and thus in the ON position. CAUTION: The appliance is equipped with an automatic shutdown which will disable the heating unit (J) once the water tank is empty. In this case, switch the appliance off by pressing the ON / OFF button (A) to make it return to the OFF position, pull the power plug from the power outlet and let the appliance cool down. Carefully lift off the cover and fill fresh tap water into the water tank with a container as described in the section „Preparing the appliance“. CAUTION: The heating unit and the water remaining in the tank are very hot. Please consider that steam might escape when you lift the cover. Therefore, always let the appliance cool down before refilling water. To restart the appliance, it always has to be turned off and unplugged first, then, the heating unit has to cool down and water has to be refilled. Only then can the power plug be reconnected and the appliance restarted with the ON/ OFF button. CAUTION: The cover (C) or the aroma tray (D) must never be removed from the base before the appliance is switched off, the plug is pulled and the appliance has cooled down. To switch the appliance off, the ON / OFF button has to be pressed every time (OFF position = the button is not pressed inwards).

might still be so hot that it keeps boiling for a few minutes. CAUTION: Should the outside of the air humidifier resp. the appliance base get wet when emptying or filling the water tank, they have to be wiped dry immediately with a clean, dry cloth before the power plug is plugged into the power outlet and the appliance is switched on.59 Fig. 5 ON = button pressed in OFF = button standing out Fig. 6 Fig. 760

SWITCHING OFF THE APPLIANCE

• Switch the appliance off with the ON / OFF button (A).

• Pull the power plug from the outlet.

• Wait for a few minutes to let the water in the heating tank (J) cool down and remove the cover (C).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch the appliance off with the ON / OFF button (A) and pull the plug first. Let the appliance cool down com- pletely, including the cover (C), the aroma tray (D) and the steam duct (I).

1. CLEANING AND DECALCIFYING THE WATER TANK,

STEAM DUCT, HEATING TANK AND COVER

Using the appliance will cause limestone deposits to form in the steam duct (I) and the heating tank (J). How quickly both parts will calcify is down to water hardness and how frequently you use the air humidifier. Limestone deposits impair the effi- ciency of the air humidifier, therefore the appliance should be descaled once a week as follows:

1. Remove the cover (C) from the switched off, unplugged and cooled down ap-

pliance using the removal loop (E).

2. Remove the steam duct (I) situated in the water tank from the base by turning

the steam duct clock wisely and lifting it (see Fig. 6).

3. Fill the water tank with cold tap water.

4. Rinse the water tank multiple times and pour out the water, but be careful to

keep the water from running over the power cord or the ON / OFF button (A) resp. the function light (B) (see Fig. 7)

5. Use a soft brush to remove the limestone deposits from the heater unit (J) (sup-

ply duct, heating tank and resistor) in the center of the water tank.

6. Pour tap water into the empty water tank again and add some decalcifying

forte). Please note the quan- tities and prescriptions given on the agent bottle. Let the solution sit with the cover closed as prescribed. Then, empty out the water and wipe the tank interi- or clean with a cloth. Rinse the water tank (K), the cover (C) and especially the steam duct (I) and the heating tank (J) multiple times and dry all parts with a soft cloth. Please make sure that you use a suitable decalcifying agent. Damage caused by an unsuitable decalcifying agent is not covered by the warranty.61

7. Replace the steam duct (I) into the water tank above the heater unit, tighten

it counter clock wisely and place cover as well as aroma tray on the appliance.

8. Clean the outside of the appliance with a soft, moist cloth and, if necessary,

some mild detergent. Never dip the appliance into liquid and do not spray the appliance with water or other liquids. CAUTION: Never use aggressive, abrasive or caustic detergents or a scratching sponge. The plastic casing might be damaged.

• Pour all water out of the tank and the heater unit. Dry the entire appliance with a soft cloth. Leave the appliance open – with the cover removed – until it is completely dry.

• Store the appliance protected from dust in a dry and dark place with good air circulation.62 TROUBLESHOOTING
