If the appliance is not being used, unplug it from the mains and empty the water tray. Do not leave the appliance exposed to atmospheric conditions (sun, rain, etc..). Do not pull the power cable or the appliance itself to unplug the appliance from the mains. In order to protect yourself from electric shocks, do not immerse the plug, the adaptor, the power cable or the appliance in water or any other liquid. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its technical assistance centre or by someone who is similarly qualified, in order to prevent any risks.

Warning: in order to avoid overheating, do not cover the device.

INSTALLATION After unpacking, check the integrity of the appliance; if in doubt, do not use and contact a qualified technician. The packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene, metal staples, etc.) must not be left within reach of children, as they constitute possible sources of danger and must be disposed of according to applicable regulations. Before connecting the appliance, verify that the voltage values on the adaptor's plate match with those of the electric system. Should the socket and the adaptor's plug be incompatible, have the former replaced with a correct one by a professional operator. The use of adaptors or extensions is generally not advisable; if it is necessary to use them, they must comply with safety regulations and the total current (amps) must not be rated lower than the maximum current of the appliance. Before each use, ensure that the appliance is in good order, that the power cable is not damaged: if you have any doubts, consult a qualified professional. Ensure that the power cable is correctly positioned and does not come into contact with hot parts or sharp edges, or become wound around the device itself and is not twisted. The plug point must be easily accessible so as to easily remove the plug in case of an emergency. The appliance must not be placed directly beneath a plug point.14

Place the appliance far from any heat sources (stoves, heaters), carpeting, parquet flooring, curtains, tapestries, electrical appliances (such as computers, precision tools, etc.) or delicate furniture that could get damaged by water or the vapour. The surface on which it is placed must be water-resistant, the free space around the appliance must be at least 50 cm, because the vapour can settle on objects that can be damaged. Make sure the vapour is not pointed to the wall, as this could cause damage. Make sure the cable is positioned correctly and that it is not wound around the appliance or tangled and that it cannot get caught, to prevent the appliance from falling. Make sure there's no risk of tripping, to prevent people from accidentally tripping over it or being injured. Also make sure the cable is not under a carpet. The surface where the appliance is used must be stable, spacious (do not use on shelves), and level (since the appliance could tip over or the liquid could spill out). Excessive humidity in the environment can cause the formation of condensation on windows and furniture. In this case, turn the unit off. The appliance must be used at a temperature of between +10 to + 25°C. Make sure that the appliance works correctly: if not, turn it off and consult a qualified professional. Make sure that the vapour outlet is clean and clear and not obstructed by objects, fabrics, or other such materials to prevent overheating or the appliance from breaking. This appliance is not to be used with an external timer or with a separate distance control unit. This is to prevent fire hazards should the appliance be covered or incorrectly positioned. Check that other devices with high power consumption are not connected on the same circuit. If there is a fault or the appliance is not working correctly, switch it off and have it checked by a qualified professional. Repairs done by an unqualified person can be dangerous and cause the guarantee to become void.

Warning: fill the water tray only when the power is off and the adaptor plug is not

inserted in the plug point: always fill the water tray with tap water at room temperature, do not use hot, distilled or purified water. The appliance tray contains approximately 100ml of water and ensures running time of about 4↔6 hours. OPERATION (see figures)

demineralised water (or tap water, if free of limestone) in the base tray, up to and not over the maximum level (MAX, see figure), then and add a few drops of essential oil, fragrance, or citronella if you wish to ward off pesky insects.

3. Without removing the base from the surface on which the appliance is being

used, close the cover (insert it on the base).

6. Press the "cromia" button to activate the coloured light effect. The lights

change hue and alternate slowly. It is possible to have the fixed light in one of 15 available shades: by pressing the button, the lights change hue or intensity. When holding down the button for a few seconds, the lights go out and the unit is in standby mode.

7. The vapour stops when the water runs out, the lights turn off, and you will hear

a "beep": the appliance goes into "stand-by" mode.

8. To fill the tray once again, repeat the steps described in 1, 2, 3 and 4.

9. To turn the appliance off, remove the adaptor from the plug point.

10. After each use the water tray should be emptied and the tray, the lid and the

diffuser rinsed. Dry them with a clean cloth; even when using a different type of essential oil. For long periods of inactivity, remove the plug from the plug point, make sure the water tray and the inside of the base are perfectly dry.
