Special Safety Precautions for this Appliance

Clean the water tank every 3 days.

WARNING:

• Micro-organisms that may be present in the water or in the environment where the appliance is used or stored, can grow in the water reservoir and be blown in the air causing very serious health risks when the water is not renewed and the tank is not cleaned properly every 3 days.
• Unplug the appliance during filling and cleaning.

CAUTION:

• The integrated humidifier works by ultrasound. This sound may be disturbing to pets.
• Do not place the appliance directly next to heating appliances or electrical appliances.

• Do not scratch the ultrasound probe.

• Be aware that high humidity levels may encourage the growth of biological organisms in the environment.

• Do not permit the area around the humidifier to become damp or wet. If dampness occurs, turn the output of the humidifier down. If the humidifier output volume cannot be turned down, use the humidifier intermittently. Do not allow absorbent materials, such as carpeting, curtains, drapes, or tablecloths, to become damp.

• Empty the tank and refill every third day. Before refilling, clean it with fresh tap water. Remove any scale, deposits, or film that has formed on the sides of the tank or on interior surfaces, and wipe all surfaces dry.

• Never leave water in the reservoir when the appliance is not in use.

• Empty and clean the humidifier before storage. Clean the humidifier before next use.
• Never stick fingers or other objects through the protection grid.

Notes for Use

The appliance is designed for rooms with dimensions of up to 60 - 70 m². This depends on ceiling height, climate etc. You can use this appliance to increase the air humidity in a dry environment. This offers 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^ and 40^ 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.
• The appliance works best if doors and windows are kept closed when used in mist mode.

i NOTE:

Do not forget to air on a regular basis.

Electrical Connection

1. Before inserting the plug into the socket. Make sure that the mains voltage to be used matches that of the appliance. You can find this information on the nameplate.

2. Connect the appliance to a duly installed protective contact socket. The indicator lamp POWER shows that the power supply is connected.

Fitting Batteries into the Remote Control (Batteries not supplied.)

1. Open the lid of the battery compartment on the rear of the remote control.
2. Insert 2 MICRO batteries of type R03 "AAA" 1.5 V.
3. Please ensure the correct polarity. Details can be found in the battery compartment.
4. Close the battery compartment.

Remote Control Range

The remote control has a range of ca. 8 metres. If this range becomes shorter, the batteries must be changed.

• To use the remote control, point it at the sensor on the front of the switch housing.
- Make sure there are no obstacles between the remote control and the sensor.
- The angle of the remote control to the remote control sensor should not exceed 30^ to the right, left, up, and down.

Position

• The ideal position is a non-slip, flat 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 metres from electrical equipment and delicate furniture to protect these from moisture.

Assembly Instructions

The appliance must be fully assembled before use! We recommend that you refer to the figures „Overview of the Components“ and „Assembly overview“ when assembling.

Base Unit (Fig. a - c)

1. Screw the tubes (7) onto the stand (13). Use the four screws (12), the metal plate (14), and the four nuts (15).
2. Attach the cover of the stand (16) to the stand tubes.

NOTE:

The nuts and screws (17) are pre-installed on the rear of the switch housing.

1. Check if the screws (17) possibly have been screwed into deeply. In this case, turn the screws back a little. Do not screw them out all the way!

NOTE:

If a screw or a bolt should have dropped off, proceed as follows:

NOTE:

• Hold the pre-assembled unit (motor (18), switch housing (6), and humidifier base (10)) so that the motor points down.
• Insert one nut (M6) each into the shaft at the side of the recesses for the tubes.

• Screw the two screws (17) on the rear of the switch housing lightly into the nuts.

• Set the pre-assembled unit for a depth of approximately 3 cm onto the stand tubes.

NOTE:

The humidifier cable must be routed between the two tubes.

Secure the pre-assembled unit to the stand tubes by tightening the two screws (17).

1. Fasten the base of the humidifier (10) with the large screw (ST4*25 mm) to the base of the stand. For this, insert the screw from below through the stand and its cover into the small outer bore (Fig. on the right).

Fan (Fig. d)

1. Remove the pre-installed nut (20) from the motor (18). Keep it close to hand.
2. Align the rear protection grid (19) with the motor recesses (18).

NOTE:

The handle must point upwards.

1. Tighten the nut (20) for the rear protection grid clockwise.
2. Attach the propeller (3). When doing so, use the guide pin on the motor shaft.
3. Tighten the screw (21) for the propeller anti-clockwise.
4. Remove the pre-fitted screw and nut (5) from the front protection grid (22). Keep it close to hand.
5. Open the fastening hooks (2) at the front protection grid.
6. Attach the front protection grid by engaging the groove of the hook (1) with the rear protection grid.

NOTE:

The holes for the screw (5) in the front and rear protection grid must be aligned.

1. Secure the protection grid with the screw and the nut (5).
2. Close the four fastening hooks (2).

Humidifier (Fig. e - f)

The tube already may have been installed on the switch housing. In this case, continue the assembly from item 18.

1. Feed the tube (8) from front to back between the two stand tubes (7). Then insert the tube from the bottom upwards through the opening on the underside of the switch housing (6).

NOTE:

The end of the tube with the tank cap must be positioned at the front above the humidifier.

1. Insert the tube from the back to the front through the opening on the top of the switch housing.
2. Pull the tube tight so that it lies flat against the back of the switch housing.

NOTE:

The two ends of the tube should have approximately the same length.

1. Connect the top end of the tube to the tube connector on the protection grid (22).

NOTE:

The tube above the switch housing must not "sag". Water which accumulates in the tube prevents the formation of the mist. If necessary, push back the top section of the tube.

1. Place the water tank (9) onto the base of the humidifier (10).
2. Fit the tank cap on the bottom end of the tube onto the water tank. The recess on the tank cap must fit into the groove on the opening to the water tank.

NOTE:

• The tank cap on the end of the tube can be turned.
• The water tank must be fitted securely to the base so that mist cannot escape between the water tank and the base. If necessary tighten the lower section of the tube.

Operation

Fill with Water

CAUTION:

Do not fill the water tank with water from clothes dryers and water with additives (such as scented oils, perfume, softeners, or other chemicals). Doing so may damage the appliance.

NOTE:

• Only use distilled or boiled, cold tap water without additives.
• Replace the water every 3 days, even if it has not yet been used.

• If the appliance has not used for long periods, remove the water from the water tank and from the base of the humidifier.

• Pull the end of the tube with the tank cap out of the water tank.

• Lift the tank from the base of the humidifier and turn it over. The filling hole is located on the bottom of the tank.

• Turn the tank cap and fill the water up to ca. 1 centimetre below the rim. The tank holds around 3 litres.

• Close the cap again and place the tank back onto the base.
• Place the end of the tube with the tank cap onto the water tank.

NOTE:

Take note of the recess on the tank cap (see assembly instruction, item 21).

Basic Settings
