USER MANUAL Aerostyle Wifi Venta

+41 41 781 15 15, www.venta-air.com21EN DEAR CUSTOMER, With the Venta AeroStyle Airwasher LW73 or LW74, you have purchased a high-per- forming premium product. The AeroStyle promotes healthy humidity and naturally reduces harmful substances in the air. Here’s how the Venta principle works A fan directs the ambient air into the water-filled Airwasher, where it travels through specially arrayed disk stacks. Hygienically clean air evaporates from their surfaces into the room. Simultaneously, the stacks trap harmful substances such as dust or pollen, which are then washed off in the water and collected in the Airwasher. THANK YOU! We are confident that the Venta Airwasher will exceed your expectations, and we hope you enjoy it. Please register your Venta: www.venta-air.com/en_de/Service/Product-registration/ Please read this operating manual in its entirety, keep it for later reference and note all safety instructions as well as instructions for the proper use of the device.
