FIRST USE / OPERATION

1. Once the Stylies Taurus humidifier has been placed in the desired location: Plug power cable (1)

into the household power socket. Remove lid (2). Fill water tank (3) with water (hold the filling opening slightly upright) – screw the lid back on firmly and check that the lid is water-tight. Place water tank back in the humidifier, screw on the lid and insert the steam pipe.

2. Switch on the Stylies Taurus using on/off switch (5) and select desired power setting (6)

(blue=high, green=economy). When the device stops producing steam, ‘tank empty’ display (12) lights up. The water must then be refilled as described in point 1.

3. The desired air humidity can be selected using hygrostat regulator (7), from left (low humidity)

to right (high humidity). For example, if the regulator is turned completely to the left, the device switches itself off at a relative humidity of approx. 30%, and only starts operating again when the humidity falls below the 30% mark. We recommend a medium setting (in the comfort zone) for an optimal air humidity of around 40-60%. Caution: the device will not switch on if the hygrostat has been set too low. CLEANING PROCEDURE

• Switch off the device and unplug the power cable from the socket before all maintenance work and after each use.

Downloaded from www.vandenborre.be• Never submerge the device in water (this can result in short-circuiting). To clean the device, simply wipe it with a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly. Always ensure the power cable has been unplugged beforehand.

• Descale the humidifier as appropriate for the hardness of the water, but at least once a week: open and lift off lid (2) and remove water tank (3). Then remove cover for heating plate (8). Clean both parts with a brush. Descale the heating plate with non-stick coating with a standard descaler and then rinse it thoroughly. Reassemble the device completely with parts (2-4, 8) before use.

• Thoroughly rinse out the water tank on a regular basis. USEFUL INFORMATION: Information how a vaporiser works: Vaporiser systems heat water to nearly 100°C. This water is free from germs, bacteria and miner- als. Any residue remains in the water tank in solid form. These devices have a very high humidifying capacity. They are ideal for humidifying large spaces. Vaporisers are ideal for dispersing essential oils and fragrances: The hot steam allows fragrances to be distributed around the room in an optimal way. However, the drops must never be added to the water directly. Lift off the lid and only add around 1-2 drops to the steam pipe’s tray (not to the steam pipe itself). TROUBLE-SHOOTING Device does not switch on although the water reservoir has been inserted, the lid has been closed and the on-button has been pressed: This is not a malfunction. It can take several minutes before sufficient water for operation has run from the water tank to the base. Wait and then press the on-button again. Low performance: Perform maintenance as described in the chapter on “Cleaning Procedure”. REPAIRS / DISPOSAL

• Repairs to all electric devices (including replacement of the power cable) may only be per- formed by instructed experts. Carrying out inappropriate repairs voids the warranty and no liability shall be accepted.

• If the power cable has become damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, his official service partner or a qualified person, in order for further damage to be avoided.

• Never operate the device if the cable or the plug is damaged, after the device has malfunc- tioned, if it has been dropped or if it has been damaged in any other way (i.e. with cracks or breakages to the housing).

• Do not use any sharp, abrasive objects or corrosive chemicals.

• Disable devices that are to be discarded immediately (by cutting off the power cable) and dis- pose of them at an appropriate waste collection centre.

• Do not dispose of electrical devices in the household refuse. Use the official recycling collection centres, where available.

• If electrical devices are disposed off in an unregulated way, the effects of weathering can cause hazardous substances to contaminate the groundwater and the food-chain or this can result in a burden on flora and fauna for years to come. This device must not be disposed of with household refuse. Please dispose of this device at the appropriate waste collection centre. Collecting and recycling electrical and elec- tronic waste saves valuable resources. The packaging material is recyclable. Dispose of the packaging in an environmentally friendly way and ensure that it reaches the recyclable material collection centre.
