Frequently Asked Questions - Stylies Hydra HAU380 Coplax

How to set up the Stylies Hydra HAU380 humidifier for the first time?

Before first use, soak the anti-scale cartridge in a water bath for 24 hours. Place the lower part in the desired location, fill the tank with water, screw on the cap, install the tank on the base, plug in the cable and turn on the appliance with the On/Off switch. Adjust the power and desired hygrostat.

Why does the appliance not produce steam when the tank is full?

It may take several minutes for the water to pass through the cartridge and reach the base. Wait and press the On switch again. Also check that the hygrostat is not set too low (below ambient humidity).

What does the red light on the appliance mean?

The red light indicates a lack of water. The appliance stops automatically. To restart mist production, turn the appliance off and on again (reset).

How to clean and descale the humidifier?

Before cleaning, unplug the appliance. Remove the tank and clean it with a brush. Descale the base with a standard descaler, rinse thoroughly. Never immerse the appliance in water. Use a damp cloth for the outside and dry thoroughly.

When should the filter cartridge be replaced?

The cartridge should be replaced every 1 to 2 months depending on water hardness. Use the provided test strip to determine hardness: 0/1 pink field = every 120 days, 2 fields = 60 days, 3 fields = 40 days, 4 fields = 20 days.

How to check if the cartridge is worn out?

Hold a small mirror in the steam for a few seconds. If a white deposit (scale) appears, the cartridge needs replacing.

What is the purpose of the Silver Cube and how to install it?

The Silver Cube prevents the growth of bacteria and germs. Place it in the designated slot in the lower part before installing the water tank. It should be replaced at the beginning of each heating season. Change the water daily even with the Silver Cube.

Why is there white dust around the appliance?

White dust is due to scale and minerals in the water. The filter cartridge retains most of it, but some minerals pass through. This is normal and may indicate the cartridge is worn. Use less hard water or replace the cartridge.

The water tank is leaking, what to do?

Unscrew the cap, firmly screw the cartridge, then screw the cap back onto the tank. Make sure the seal is properly positioned.

What are the consumables and where to buy them?

Consumables are the filter cartridge (Stylies Cartridge) and the Silver Cube. They are available from the manufacturer or authorized dealers. The warranty does not cover these parts.

Do not place the device directly on the floor. Use a water-proof underlay.

FIRST USE / OPERATION

Please note: never transport the device with a full water tank.

Possible hazards:

• there is too much water in the base of the housing and the spraying power is severely reduced
• water can escape

• the water tank can fall and become damaged [and water can leak on to the floor].

• For this reason, base [4] of the Stylies Hydra humidifier should initially be placed in a suitable location separately. Important: Soak the anticalc cartridge in a water bath for 24 hours before the first use (not in the water tank!). The resin has to absorb water to reach high performance.

• When this base is in the desired location: Fill water tank [3] with water (hold the filling opening slightly upright) - screw the lid back on firmly and check that it is water-tight. Place water tank on base. Plug power cable [1] into the household power socket.

• Switch on the Styllies Hydra humidifier using on/off switch (5) and select desired power setting [7]. The control display now appears blue. The steam outlet (2) can be turned 360^ .
• The desired air humidity can be selected using hygrostat regulator [6], 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 is done and after each use.

• 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: First remove the water tank (the upper section) and clean it with a brush. Descale the device with a standard descaler and then rinse it thoroughly. Reassemble the device completely before use.
• Thoroughly rinse out the water tank on a regular basis.
• Replace anticalc cartridge [9] every 1-2 months as appropriate for the hardness of the water.

ANTICALC CARTRIDGE AND WATER HARDNESS

• The life-span of the cartridge is dependent on the hardness of the water. This can be tested using the test strip supplied (The test strip is adhered to the reverse side of this instruction manual).
• Dip the test strip into the water for one second.
  After approx. one minute, the result can be seen on the measuring strip. Some of the green areas will change their colour to pink. The number of pink areas corresponds to the hardness of the water.
• Example: If there are three pink areas, the water has a hardness of "3".

Number of Water hard- Hardness Cartridge needs replacing pink areas ness (°dH) after days/litres

0/1 soft ab 4^ approx. 120 days

approx. 360 litres

2 medium ab 7^ approx. 60 days

approx. 180 litres

3 Slightly hard ab 14^ approx. 40 days

approx .120 litres

4 Very hard ab 21^ approx. 20 days

approx. 60 litres

A simple test can be carried out to determine whether the cartridge is functioning correctly: hold a small mirror in the steam for a few seconds. If a white deposit has been left on the mirror (a sign of lime scale), the cartridge needs replacing.

SILVER CUBE

Before attaching the water tank, insert the Silver Cube in the base in the position indicated.

The Silver Cube with its patented technology prevents the growth of bacteria and germs. It can be used for a maximum of one season, and must be replaced at the start of the next heating season (i.e. when the weather becomes cold).

Despite using the Silver Cube, you should replace the water on a daily basis.

USEFUL INFORMATION:

Information on how an ultrasonic humidifier works:

How does the ultrasonic humidifier work? An ultrasonic membrane in the interior of the device causes the water to oscillate, causing very fine droplets of water to be "catapulted off" from the water surface. These droplets mix with the air in the spray chamber and are then blown into the room through a ventilator as a visible spray. This fine spray evaporates in the warm air in the room, moistening the air that people breathe.

White dust:

The ultrasonic humidifier's method of action causes all substances contained in the water to be sprayed, including calcium carbonate (a cause of limescale) and minerals. In order to prevent this as far possible, the water is fed through the anticalc cartridge before being sprayed. The cartridge retains a large percentage of the substances contained in the water. Tap water varies greatly from region to region in terms of its calcium and mineral content. Some minerals cannot be sufficiently filtered by the descaling resin used. In this case, a white, dust-like deposit is left in the room, which is first visible on electro-statically charged surfaces (such as TV sets). This deposit also occurs when the anticalc cartridge needs replacing (see the chapter on "Anticalc Cartridge and Water Hardness").

Tips for water:

Clean water must always be used to ensure that the air remains hygienic to breathe. The device, and the water tank in particular, must always be hygienically clean.

Recommendation: always use the Silver Cube, as this reduces the formation of germs in the water.

Hygrostat:

The standard-tolerance of an integrated hygrostat is + / - 10% . That means the effective relative humidity level can deviate accordingly.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING

Red control display does not go out after tank has been filled with water:

The device switches off automatically if there is insufficient water. The colour of the light diode [on the front] then changes from blue to red. To restart the generation of spray, the device must first be switched off and then switched back on again (this resets the device). This is a protective function for the ultrasonic humidifier.

Device does not switch on although the water tank has been attached 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 through the cartridge and into the base. Wait and then press the on-button again. The water tank is leaking:

Unscrew the lid, screw the cartridge in firmly and screw the lid back on to the tank.

Low performance, no steam output, device not functional:

Perform maintenance as described in the chapter on "Cleaning Procedure".
