Notes for Use

This air humidifier with low energy consumption has been developed for rooms of up to 50 - 60 m². This depends on ceiling height, climate etc.

You can use the appliance to supply dry room air with pleasant air moisture. This will offer the following benefits:

• It ensures a healthy room climate and thus your well-being.
• A relative humidity ranging from 45 % to 65 % can provide for pleasant air humidity.
  • We recommend using this air humidifier at temperatures between 5 °C and 40 °C and low humidity.
• It prevents the raising of dust and is therefore ideally suited for allergy sufferers.
• Your skin is supplied with moisture.
• It protects your furniture from drying out and prevents a forming of gaps in parquet or wood floors.
  • Electrostatic charge in the air is suppressed.

Location

• A suitable location is a non-slip, even surface.
- Do not place the appliance onto wood, to avoid deformation due to moisture.
- Watch out for electrical devices close by. They must not get wet.
- Keep a distance of 2 meters from electrical equipment and delicate furniture to protect these from moisture.
