Water hardness test strips A250 Congratulations on your purchase of the BONECO U350. This high-performance ultrasonic humidifier keeps the humidity at a comfortable level at all times. The BONECO U350 is designed for convenient, fully au- tomated operation. However, you can adjust all of its fea- tures according to your preferences and requirements. This manual shows you how you can create your own comfortable climate.

VALUABLE INFORMATION ABOUT HUMIDITY

The right humidity is very important for our health. Dry room air in winter leads to skin that cracks and itches. It makes your eyes and throat feel dry while significantly af- fecting physical comfort. Not only does this affect adults, it is especially true for infants, small children and even pets. Dry mucous membranes in winter also make us more prone to colds and other infections. The BONECO U350 makes these problems a distant me- mory. Its intelligent automatic controls always keep the humidity at the ideal level, even in large rooms with an area of up to 80 square meters (860 square feet). Once you've experienced this new level of comfort, you'll never want to go back. INTRODUCTION Quick Manual Safety instructions1 Cover 2 Nozzle 3 Flue 4 A7017 Ionic Silver Stick

STARTING UP AND SWITCHING OFF

Rinse the A250 for 2 minutes under cold running water. Screw the A250 to the BONECO U350. Fill the tank with cold tap water.

The BONECO U350 releases more than half a liter of wa- ter (more than approximately a pint) into the air per hour. This makes it important to set up the appliance in the right location. Do not place the BONECO U350 directly on the floor or on sensitive surfaces, since the moisture from the mist can damage floor surfaces such as parquet or delicate carpeting.

• Make sure that the appliance stands about 30 centime- ters (one foot) away from the closest wall.

• Do not direct the mist toward the wall, plants, furniture or other objects in order to prevent water condensation from damaging them. Maintain a distance of at least 50cm (20 inches). Insert the A7017 Ionic Silver Stick

STARTING UP AND SWITCHING OFF

Plug the power cord into a power outlet. Tap to switch on the BONECO U350.

Select the desired performance level using the button. Tap again to switch off the BONECO U350 entirely. Do not place the BONECO U350 directly on the floor. Direct the mist into the open room.32

SAVING SETTINGS The BONECO U350 saves the last-used settings when it is switched off. However, if the appliance is disconnected from the power outlet for a few seconds, it will start in the operating mode.

“AUTO” OPERATING MODE

After switching on, the appliance is in operating mode. The desired relative humidity level (rH) is pre-set to 50% in operating mode. The appliance selects the suitable performance level Low “L” / Medium “M” / High “H” to reach the rH value of 50% as soon as possible. In operating mode, the rH can be modified at any time using the button. If the performance level is mo- dified using the button, the operating mode switches off automatically, and the appliance is in manual operating mode. The heater can be switched on or off without the appli- ance exiting operating mode. operating mode also remains active when setting the timer. To return to operating mode, tap the symbol once. CONTROLLING HUMIDITY The humidity can be set between 30% and 70%. In the “Co” setting (for “Continuous”), the ultrasonic runs re- gardless of the measured humidity. This means it does not switch off until the tank is empty or the appliance is switched off.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS The longer the appliance is operated, the more the per- formance of the A7017 Ionic Silver Stick

decreases and scale builds up on the inner parts of the BONECO U350. Stagnant water can also impair cleanliness and lead to unpleasant odors. This means regular maintenance and cleaning is necessary to ensure clean and unimpaired operation. Recommended cleaning and maintenance intervals vary depending on air quality, water quality and operating time. Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the exterior. Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning. Interval Task Daily Check the water level; add water if necessary After 1 week without operation Empty and clean the BONECO U350 Every 2 weeks Clean the water base and water tank Every 2–6 months Replace A250 Annually Replace A7017 Ionic Silver Stick

DESCALING AND CLEANING

ON DESCALING If stubborn limescale deposits form at the bottom of the BONECO U350, the appliance must also be descaled in addition to the cleaning. For this process, use the provi- ded A7417 “CalcOff” descaling agent. You can obtain a refill of the agent from your BONECO specialist dealer. The appliance must always be unplugged from the power outlet before draining it. Failure to do so can result in electric shock and pose the risk of severe or fatal injury! Tip the long side of the BONECO U350 towards the sink (with the viewing window facing down). This prevents water from getting into the air outlet and damaging the appliance.37

CLEANING THE MEMBRANE

Never clean the membrane using sharp objects or aggressive cleaning agents; doing so can damage the BONECO U350 and voids the warranty! Mineral deposits on the membrane can be removed using the yellow cleaning brush attached to the cover of the BONECO U350.

The A250 must be replaced every 2 to 6 months. In cases of very hard water, it may have to be replaced sooner. White dust around the appliance is a sure indication that the A250 is fully worn out. Please observe the accompanying manual for starting up the A250. The used A250 can be disposed of with your regular household waste. REPLACEMENT You can obtain replacements from your BONECO spe- cialist dealer or our online store at www.boneco.com.

Please observe the accompanying manual for starting up the A250.

The BONECO U350 is supplied with the A250. The gra- nulate contained in it filters the lime out of the tap water so that it is not released into the room air. Hard tap water accelerates saturation of the granulate, making it neces- sary to replace the A250 earlier. Dispose of the saturated A250 with your regular household waste. White dust around the appliance is a sure indication that the A250 is fully worn out.
