Unplug the device, remove the boiler by turning counterclockwise, fill the tank with tap water up to the level indicated by the float (max 2 liters). Put the boiler back in place, connect the power cable, then plug the device into a mains socket. Vaporization starts after 5 to 10 minutes. Use the adjustment knob to adjust the steam intensity.

Can I add perfumes or essences to the water?

No, essences must be poured only into the special bowl located under the steam outlet. Never pour perfume into the steam outlet hole or into the water tank.

What to do if steam emission decreases?

This is due to water impurities. Unplug the device, remove the boiler and immerse its lower part (up to 8 cm) in a solution of water and vinegar or descaler for about 8 hours. Then rinse the electrodes with clean water and wipe dry.

Does the humidifier shut off automatically?

Yes, vaporization stops automatically when the water level drops below the electrodes. This causes no damage and consumes no electricity.

What type of water should I use?

Use only tap water. Never add salt or other substances to the tank. If the water is poorly conductive, you can add a maximum of 0.5 g of table salt per full tank, but not in excess.

Technical data indicated on the appliance.

The humidifier is provided with a special safety system which prevents the boiler from being separated from the water reservoir when the power supply cable is plugged into the appliance.

Fig. 1 - In order to separate the boiler from the reservoir, first disconnect the power supply cable (1) and then twist the boiler counter-clockwise (2) and lift it off (3).

For tap water into the reservoir until the coloured mark on the float appears.

Do not exceed the maximum limit of 2 liters (AR820, ARM8U001).

Do not add salt or any other substances into the reservoir to avoid damaging the appliance and causing safety problems.

FIG.2

820 - Fit the boiler onto the reservoir with the “fin” opposite the arrow on the reservoir’s band (1).

Twist it clockwise as far as it will go (2).

Now plug the power cable into the humidifier (3).

It is necessary to await 5/10 minutes before the appliance gets the maximum intensity of vaporization.

FIG.3 - Before plugging the power cable into the humidifier, make sure that the appliance has not become wet during filling. Otherwise, dry it carefully.

If you want to use scented oil, you must pour it into the small recess around the steam outlet hole (fig. 3) before plugging the power supply cable into the appliance.

DO NOT POUR ESSENCES IN THE STEAM OUTLET HOLE OR IN THE TANK.

In order to start up the appliance, plug the power supply cable into the wall socket. It will take a few minutes before it starts emitting steam.

FIG.4 - The steam jet can be adjusted by means of the adjusting knob (fig. 4).

If the water level drops below the level of the electrodes, steaming stops.

This does not damage the appliance and does not consume power.

A residual amount of water with all the impurities will remain at the bottom of the reservoir. It will serve to make cleaning easier.

When using again the humidifier after a pause, first empty it and rinse it out well before pouring in fresh tap water. If you don't, the water's conductivity is increased and this makes the appliance becomes noisy and the electrodes wear out more rapidly.
