WELCOME TO THE VENTA COMMUNITY! Setting up your humidifier is much simpler than you would expect. Just follow these 7 steps and your humidifier will be up-and-running in less than 10 minutes!

First things first, remove bottle(s) of Water Treatment Addi- tive from the corner of your packaging (Only the AH550/AH555 models come with two sample sized bottles). Keep these handy as you’ll need them in a bit. Unpack your humidifier setting the Styrofoam aside. You may want to return the Styrofoam to the box and keep the box for any future humidifier storage needs.

2. EXAMINE YOUR HUMIDIFIER (PART 1)

Check both the upper housing and the motor for any cracks or damages. If both are fine, place the motor back inside its housing, making sure to plug it back in as you do so. Close the upper housing, starting with the vented panels, and clip the tabs. Set the upper housing upside down. 4 US3. EXAMINE YOUR HUMIDIFIER (PART 2) Remove the disc stack(s) from the lower housing and set them aside. Remove the protective cardboard from the upper and lower housings. Check the lower housing and the disc stack(s) for any cracks or damages. If everything is fine, put the disc stack(s) back in the lower housing. Remove the tie holding the power cord and place the upper housing on the lower housing, guiding the power cord out through the slot provided. Please contact Venta Air Technologies Inc. at 888-333-8218 or [e-mail] if there is any damage to your unit.

4. OPENING THE HUMIDIFIER

Open the top of your humidifier by releasing the tabs on the control panel and opening the four panels, starting with the non-vented panels.

5USLift the motor out of the housing, remove the power cable, and set it aside for a moment. On the inside of one of the panels is a sticker with the serial number on it. Write this number down as you’ll need it later!

Now it’s time to set up the humidifier. Find the place where you’d like your humidifier to live, making sure to place it properly for best results! Humidifier should be placed in a location with a minimum clearance of 18-20 inches, including above. Set the humidi- fier there, but don’t yet plug the unit in.

Made in GermanyRemove the upper housing from the lower housing and set it aside for a moment. Take the lower housing over to your sink/bathtub/water source and fill it with regular tap water up to the water line. Remember the bottle(s) of Water Treatment Additive? Go grab those and pour them into the water in the lower housing. Once it’s filled, carry it back over to the upper housing. Place the upper housing back onto the lower housing.

Plug the humidifier in, switch on device by briefly touching the power button in the display, set the power setting to the highest speed, and enjoy the fresh air! At the highest setting, the humidifier will need to run continuously for about 7–10 days to properly condition the room it is in. After that, you will notice the full impact of the humidifier upon the air in your home!

Only once the device is connected to the mains will the power button glow to switch the device on and off.

• Dishwashers: The Venta Humidifier’s lower housing, disc stack(s), and upper housing (first removing the motor assembly from the upper housing) can go into a dishwasher on the cool or rinse cycle. It is recommended that it not be washed with dishes. The motor assembly cannot be submerged in water or placed in the dish- washer. DO NOT USE detergent, mild soap, bleach, or household cleaners.

• Cleaning of disc stack(s): If a dishwasher isn’t an option, cleaning the disc stack(s) can be done by soaking disc stack(s) in hot water with Venta Cleaner or white vinegar for approx. 30 minutes. This will help loosen any buildup of calcium or lime that may have accrued. Always rinse with warm water after cleaning.

• Vinegar and Water Solution: Should be either 50:50 or 3:1 ratio of white vinegar and water used instead of Venta Cleaner.

• Do not use the appliance in an environment with temperatures consistently over 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Please contact Venta Air Technologies Inc. at 888-333-8218 or [e-mail]

USDEAR CUSTOMER, With the Original Connect series, you have purchased a high-performance humidifier, which gives you even more convenient operation with the addition of a touch display and Venta AirConnect compatibility. The Smart Life App allows you to operate your appliances remotely as well as to access information. The Original Connect supports healthy humidity and the natural reduction of pollutants in the air. Here’s how the Venta principle works A fan directs the ambient air into the water-filled humidifier, where it flows through specially arrayed disk stacks. Hygienically clean air evaporates from their surfaces into the room. Simultaneously, the disks trap harmful substances such as dust or pollen, which are then washed off in the water and collected in the humidifier. Over half of all Venta Humidifiers are sold on the basis of recommendation by satisfied customers. Our goal is that you are completely satisfied and that you recommend the Venta Humidifier to your family and friends. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at 888-333-8218 or [e-mail]

CLEANING THE METAL STRIPS

Periodically remove and scrub the thin metal contact strips that run down the inside of the lower housing unit of any visible deposits or buildup. Use a kitchen scrubbing pad or old toothbrush during the normal cleaning cycle to keep the unit running as designed.

16 USVENTA WATER TREATMENT

ADDITIVE APPLICATIONS Venta Water Treatment Additive (WTA) is designed to maintain hygienic conditions in the lower housing and to keep the evaporation process functioning at the highest level. The use of WTA is recommended for the best performance and efficiency of your Venta Humidifier. Proper usage will prevent the formation of hard calcium de- posits. Simply rinse and wipe out any sediment when changing the water. WTA serves three (3) purposes:

• It improves the performance of the humidifier by creating sheeting action on the disk(s) with the effect of increasing the amount surface area it covers.

• It helps remove calcium and lime buildup.

• It kills bacteria and mold. DIRECTIONS Fill lower housing with water daily or as needed. Every 10-14 days add a dose of WTA. The lower housing should be periodically rinsed and cleaned every 10-14 days. One dose of WTA is 3.5 . oz. which is equal to one black marking on the left side of the label. CAUTION!

20 USFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW DOES THE VENTA DEVICE HUMIDIFY? The Venta Humidifier operates by the process of cold evaporation, so you will not see any residue, vapors, or mists. The disc stack(s) rotate(s) in the water creating a very large evaporation surface area. When dry air meets the surface area of the disc stack(s), the water evaporates and is sent out into the room. By using the cold evapo- ration process, any excess humidity can be virtually ruled out. WHAT LEVEL OF HUMIDITY CAN BE EXPECTED AND HOW OFTEN SHOULD THE LOWER HOUSING BE FILLED? Under ideal conditions, a humidity level of 40–60 % can be expected. Some factors affecting humidity level are: heating/cooling, home insulation, layout of the home, air circulation, and the amount of water in the appliance. For severely dry areas or dur- ing the first days of use, you may notice the water evaporates more quickly and/or a lower humidity level will be reached. The water level of the lower housing should be checked and topped off daily. WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO RUN THE VENTA HUMIDIFIER? Always! The Venta Humidifier is designed to be a year-round, 24/7 product. Because we wanted it to run year-round, we made the humidifier’s power consumption as minimal as possible. For the best results, your humidifier should never be turned off or stored for long periods of time. WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE FOR THE VENTA HUMIDIFIER? If possible, the Venta Humidifier should be placed in the center of the room, or along a wall away from windows and a heat source. When using your Venta Humidifier for multiple rooms (larger model Venta Humidifiers) it should be placed centrally between rooms. Allow 18-20 inches above and on either side of the Venta Humidifier to allow air circulation. WILL OPENING OUTSIDE DOORS AND WINDOWS AFFECT THE EFFICIENCY OF THE VENTA HUMIDIFIER ? The appliance works best in closed rooms to maintain a consistent level of humid- ity. Just as windows and doors are closed when air conditioning is running, doors between rooms may be left open to allow for air circulation. IS IT NECESSARY TO USE THE VENTA WATER TREATMENT ADDITIVE? The WTA helps prevent mineral deposits from becoming too difficult to remove so that any sediment can be rinsed out. In addition, the WTA helps improve the efficiency of the humidifier by allowing the water to sheet on the disk stack(s) instead of “bead- ing” up, allowing maximum use of every square inch of the disk stack(s). The WTA also helps prevent odors and improves the performance of the Venta Humidifier. Not suitable for VENTA models with Hygiene Disc.

USSHOULD MORE WATER TREATMENT ADDITIVE BE ADDED WHEN THE APPLIANCE HAS SWITCHED OFF AUTOMATICALLY AND THE WATER DISPLAY APPEARS? No, because the ingredients of the WTA do not evaporate. Simply add fresh water to reactivate the WTA. One dose will help keep the humidifier from scaling up with min- eral deposits up to 14 days. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE VENTA HUMIDIFIER HAS NOT BEEN RUN FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME? Simply give the appliance a general cleaning with the Venta Cleaner before using it again. Tip: Use of the Venta Cleaner is recommended before storing the appliance for an extended period of time to remove any mineral deposits that can harden over time. Or take advantage of Venta Air Technologies’ Ultrasonic Cleaning service.

MY VENTA HUMIDIFIER APPEARS TO NOT BE HUMIDIFYING MY ROOM AS DESIRED Our goal is to achieve 100% customer satisfaction. Initial product performance is largely based on the total coverage area including hallways, stairways, and other spaces that cannot be closed off, as well as the overall humidity level of the contents of the room. Dry furnishings (textiles, leather, wood, books, etc.) will require a longer period of time to absorb moisture until their humidity level is increased to a satis- factory level. Therefore, we highly recommend that you take this into consideration when evaluating the performance of your product. Dry rooms can take 7-10 days of continuous humidification to achieve an optimal humidity level. It’s important that you are adding water to your unit regularly. In the event that you are dissatisfied with the performance of your product, please call us. Did we not answer your question?
