USER MANUAL W1355A BONECO

Instructions for use18 Foreword Congratulations on purchasing the W1355A Air Washer! Proper use: The appliance must only be used for humidification and cleaning of the air indoors. Did you know that excessively dry indoor air

• dries out mucous membranes and causes chapped lips and stinging eyes?

• promotes infections and diseases of the respiratory tract?

• leads to weariness, tiredness and poor concentration?

• is a burden on pets and houseplants?

• promotes the formation of dust and increases the elec- trostatic charge of textiles made from synthetic fibers, carpets and synthetic floors?

• damages furnishings made from wood, especially par- quet floors?

• makes musical instruments go out of tune? General The indoor climate is generally pleasant when the relative humidity is between 40 and 60%. Air humidification is especially sensible in winter, but does not replace the regular airing of living spaces. Safety instructions

• Read the instructions for use carefully before putting the appliance into operation, and keep in a safe place for later reference.

• Only use the air humidifier in living spaces and within the specified technical data. Incorrect use may be dan- gerous to health and life.

• Children cannot recognize the dangers associated with the use of electrical devices. For this reason, always supervise children when they are in the vicinity of the air humidifier (Fig. 8).

• Persons who have not familiarized themselves with the instructions for use, as well as children and persons under the influence of medicines, alcohol or drugs, must not operate the unit, or do so only under super- vision.

• Never use the appliance if a cable or plug is damaged (41), after the appliance malfunctions or if it has fallen to the floor (42), or has been damaged in any other way.

• Do not add any additives such as essential oils directly into the water tank or the water base. These additives will damage your appliance! Appliances that are dam- aged by additives are excluded from the warranty.

• Only use CalcOff for decalcification and cleaning of the product. Damage that is caused by the use of other cleaning agents is not covered by the warranty. How it works Your appliance

• washes and humidifies the air without using filter mats

• works quietly in two operation modes

• is manufactured from high-quality, long-lasting compo- nents Special humidifier discs rotate in a water bath inside the appliance, cleaning the air passing over them of impurities in a natural way – the same way that air is washed by the rain in nature. The air humidification takes place according to the self- regulating principle of cold evaporation. The appliance therefore generates ideal air humidity, without the need for additional control units. Unpacking
