Operation S450

L I J B A E 45% DESired CURRENT H G F K C D

A) Switch on/off

Pressing button A switches the appliance either on or off. Button A is also used to start the decalcification mode. See the section about «Decalcification Mode» (18 – 25). After the unit is switched on, it is in AUTO-Mode (symbol J).

B) AUTO-/SLEEP-Mode

AUTO-Mode:

After the unit is switched on, it is in AUTO-Mode (symbol J). The desired relative humidity (rH) is preset to 50%. The unit chooses the appropriate output level Low «L» / Medium «M» / High «H» (symbol G), in order to attain the value of 50% rH as quickly as possible.

In AUTO-Mode, the rH can be changed at any time by using button C; see C) Setting humidity level. If the output level is changed by using button D, the AUTO-Mode turns off and the unit is operated manually; see D) Manual operation. By pressing button B, the AUTO-Mode can be reactivated.

SLEEP-Mode

By pressing button B, the AUTO-Mode can be changed to SLEEP-Mode (symbol K) and vise versa. In the SLEEP-Mode, the desired relative humidity (rH) is preset to 45%. The unit chooses the appropriate output level Low «L» / Medium «M» (symbol G), in order to attain the value of 45% rH as energy-efficiently as possible.

In SLEEP-Mode, the rH can be changed at any time by using button C; see C) Setting humidity level. If the output level is changed by using button D, the SLEEP-Mode turns off and the unit is operated manually; see D) Manual operation. By pressing button B two times, the SLEEP-Mode can be reactivated.

C) Setting humidity level

The appliance is fitted with a hygrostat. This measures the relative humidity and switches the appliance off automatically when the desired value is reached. The internal ventilation remains turned on, to ensure an accurate reading of the relative humidity. If the relative humidity falls below the desired value, humidification resumes automatically. The desired relative humidity can be adjusted in steps of 5% by pressing button B. While selecting the desired humidity output, the value display is blinking. The word DESIRED appears on the display (symbol H). After a few seconds, the display automatically changes to show the current value (symbol H). Upon reaching the desired relative humidity, the display shows DESIRED and CURRENT.

A relative humidity of between 40 and 60% is recommended. The setting for the relative humidity ranges from a minimum of 30% to a maximum of 70% relative humidity or «CO» continuous mode.

Symbol E2

When the display shows «E2», the current relative humidity has reached 90%. For safety reasons, the appliance switches off automatically. The appliance switches back on, when the relative humidity falls below 85%.

Quick display of the current relative humidity

When the unit is switched off (power cable is connected), the current relative humidity can be shown on the display by briefly pressing one of the C buttons. This display goes out automatically after a few seconds.

D) Manual operation

The appliance can be operated on 3 levels. The output levels Low «L» (night operation), Medium «M» (normal operation), and High «H» (power operation) can be selected by pressing button D (AUTO- and SLEEP-Mode are deactivated). The desired output level is shown on the display via symbol G.

E) Timer

The appliance has an OFF- and an ON-Timer.

OFF-Timer:

The OFF-Timer is set by pressing button E on the switched-on appliance. The blinking display shows the hours until the unit will be switched off: 0h. By pressing button C, the switch-off time can be selected from between 0h -9h. Without any input, the set value is enabled after 3 seconds and symbol L indicates that the timer is turned on. The display once again shows the current relative humidity. By pressing button E, the remaining time until switch-off is displayed and can also be adjusted.

ON-Timer

By pressing button E on the turned-off appliance, the ON-timer is set. The blinking display now shows the hours until the unit will be switched on: 0h. By pressing button C, the switch-on time can be selected from between 0h-9h. Without any input, the set value is enabled after 3 seconds. The display shows the set switch-on time and the symbol L is blinking. After the unit is switched on, the unit is in AUTO-Mode (symbol J).

F) Cleaning symbol (see also section about Decalcification-Mode)

The letter F in the display indicates that the appliance must be cleaned. The symbol appears until the Decalcification-Mode is completed. By pressing both C buttons simultaneously and holding them down for approx. 5 seconds, the cleaning symbol can be manually reset.

G) Output level symbol

H) Current and desired relative humidity symbol

I) Automatic shut-off «Water Tank empty»

If the water level falls below minimum level, the humidification switches off automatically. The red blinking symbol I appears on the display. If water is not added within 5 minutes, the display turns off, except for the symbol I. If water is added, symbol I turns off and the appliance continues operating.

J) AUTO-Mode symbol

K) SLEEP-Mode symbol

L) Timer symbol

Fragrance container

• The steam pipe cover contains an integrated fragrance container.
• Fill only a small amount of fragrance into the fragrance container and do not overfill (12).
• Caution! Do not put any fragrance directly into the water tank, water base or steam tray, as this can damage the material and consequently the appliance (13).

Anti-Mineral-Pad

CAUTION: The steam tray contains boiling water! Remove the Anti-Mineral-Pad only when the water in the steam tray has cooled off. Place only one Anti-Mineral-Pad into the steam tray.

The Anti-Mineral-Pad absorbs a large part of the resulting lime while in operation. The Anti-Mineral-Pad reduces excessive calcification of the steam tray as well as the frequency of necessary decalcification. In order to insert the Anti-Mineral-Pad, remove the top cover as well as the water tank and the steam pipe from the unit (14). Now insert the supplied Anti-Mineral-Pad directly into the steam tray and reassemble the appliance in the reversed order (14). The Anti-Mineral-Pad needs to be replaced as soon as it is completely full of lime (Anti-Mineral-Pad hardens). Depending on the hardness of the water, this needs to be done every 2 to 4 weeks. The Anti-Mineral Pad can be disposed with the Household waste.

Cleaning

Always disconnect the power plug of the appliance, before cleaning or rinsing (15).

The unit has to be completely emptied and cooled off. Caution: Danger of burning!

Caution: Never pour any water into the ventilation openings since this can damage the appliance (24 - 25).

Important: Do not use any abrasive objects (knives etc.) or sponges to clean the steam tray.

Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquids (16).

• Regular cleaning is essential for hygienic, fault-free operation.
• Depending on water quality, regular decalcification of the appliance is recommended (see Decalcification-Mode).

Cleaning of water tank and covers – weekly (15 – 25)

Clean the water tank, top cover, fragrance container and steam pipe with a soft plastic brush and dish detergent and rinse well (17).

Decalcification-Mode

Only use CalcOff for decalcification. Damage that is caused by the use of other cleaning agents is not covered by the warranty.

The Decalcification-Mode enables simple cleaning and decalcification of the steam tray, water base, and steam pipe.

The Anti-Mineral-Pad needs to be removed, before starting the Decalcification-Mode (18) (see section about Anti-Mineral-Pad). Dissolve the CalcOff decalcification agent in 1 L of hot water and pour into the water base (19). Then reinsert the steam pipe and top cover (20). Pressing and holding button A for 5 seconds switches the appliance to Decalcification-Mode (21). Decalcification-Mode is shown on the display by the flashing symbol E (22). The value «4h» is shown flashing on the display. Button C can be used to change the decalcification period from 1h to 9h, depending on the level of soiling (22). After 3 seconds without further input, the set value is taken as «desired value» and the flashing display changes back to «CURRENT». The unit heats up the CalcOff-water solution during Decalcification-Mode and shuts off after it is finished. The heating of the water takes place every 30 minutes while the Decalcification-Mode is active. The cleaning period is now permanently displayed and switches to minutes when the time falls below the 1 hour mark. The cleaning period can be changed at any time by pressing button C. At the end of the cleaning period, a short double signal is sounded, the display shows the value «Oh» and the cleaning symbol E will rapidly flash (23). Pressing button A ends the Decalcification-Mode and switches off the appliance (23).

CAUTION: The water base must now be emptied of the CalcOff and rinsed (24 – 25). Make sure no water enters through the ventilation opening (25). Tip: In case of very tough lime, decalcify overnight (12 to 15 hours).

Cleaning the housing – once or twice annually (26).

Clean the housing with a damp cleaning rag and wipe it dry; use a cleaning agent suitable for plastic if needed.

After usage

• Switch the appliance off by pressing button A (27).
• Disconnect power plug (15).
• Wait until the appliance has completely cooled off.
• Empty any remaining water and clean the water tank and the water base. Decalcify if necessary.
• Let the appliance dry.
