With- out 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. With- out 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 simultane- ously 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 humidi- fication 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 wa- ter 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 wa- ter 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 ex- cessive calcification of the steam tray as well as the fre- quency 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 com- pletely 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.20

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 flash- ing 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 «0h» and the cleaning symbol E will rapidly flash (23). Press- ing 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. Cleaning Always disconnect the power plug of the appli- ance, 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 ventila- tion openings since this can damage the appli- ance (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).21
