Frequently Asked Questions - Intense Aqua Control HD5120 TEFAL

What type of water to use in the humidifier?

Use cold water, preferably low in calcium (tap, bottled, distilled, or boiled and cooled water) to avoid white dust.

How to set the desired humidity level?

Press the C button repeatedly to select between 40% and 75% RH or Co for continuous operation. The optimal level is 50 to 60% RH.

What to do if the device stops by itself?

Check if the timer is set (1-9h), if the water level is sufficient (indicator flashes), or if the ambient humidity exceeds 90% RH (safety).

How to clean the nebulization area?

Remove the tank, fill the area with a 50% water / 50% white vinegar mixture, let it sit for at least 4 hours, empty and rinse with clean water. Do not use abrasive products.

What is the heating function for?

Activate it with the D button to increase vapor production by 20% and destroy bacteria in the water (HU5120/HD5120 models only).

How to use Baby mode?

Press the E button until BABY mode is selected. It maintains 50% RH, disables lights and beeps, and automatically stops after 7 hours.

Why is there white dust around the device?

This is due to water that is too hard. Use distilled water or replace the anti-scale cartridge (see manual for reference).

How to turn off the backlight and beeps?

Press the G button (Light&Sound) to turn the tank light on/off and disable beeps. Night or Baby mode also disables them.

How often should the device be cleaned?

A complete cleaning every 48 hours is recommended (tank, nebulization area, intake grilles). Replace the anti-scale cartridge as soon as odors or dust appear.

How to store the humidifier when not in use?

Empty the tank, clean and dry the device thoroughly, then store it in a dry place away from humidity.

SWITCHING ON THE APPLIANCE

FIRST USE

1. Lift the water tank, remove the nozzle (3) and unscrew the anti-limescale cartridge support cap (7)
2. Clean the water tank (see CLEANING paragraph) and fill it with cold water (minimum 2 litres / maximum 5.5 litres).

NOTE: We recommend using soft water to avoid experiencing white cloudy water; you can use tap water, bottled water, distilled water or boiled water but always make sure the water tank is filled with cold water.

1. Screw the cap back on and make sure there are no water leaks.
2. Make sure the base of the unit is clean and there are no foreign objects.
3. Make sure the water level sensor is free to move.
4. Reposition the tank on the base.
5. Aim the nozzle so that steam jet is not directed towards an object, which could otherwise affect the humidity control.
6. Wait ten minutes so that the water passes through the anti-limescale cartridge and fills the nebulization chamber.
7. Plug in the appliance.
8. Start the appliance.
