MISTING FUNCTION

In this case the rear tank should be filled with demineralized water, up to but not exceeding the maximum level as indicated.

Through a high-frequency vibration (not audible and not harmful to people) the water under the tank is nebulized and sucked into the tube up to the misting plate where it is emitted into the room.

There is no need to heat or to add any chemical agent. The refreshing action of water can give a sense of well-being when the environment is dry. It's not possible to activate the misting function without water in the water tank. Do not fill the water directly on water channel or in the mist outlet, do not block the mist outlet during operation. When the water below the tank falls below the minimum level, the appliance emits a sound and the nebulizer switches off.

INFORMATION FOR THE CORRECT DISPOSAL OF BATTERIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE 2006/66/EC and amendments Directive 2013/56/EC

Replace batteries when they are depleted. At the end of their life, batteries must be disposed of separately from unsorted waste. They must be taken to designated recycling centres or returned to a retailer providing this service. Separate disposal of batteries prevents potential negative effects on the environment and human health due to inadequate disposal, and also allows for recovering and recycling their constituent materials, resulting in significant savings in terms of energy and resources. The separate disposal obligation is underlined by the crossed-out dustbin symbol appearing on the battery. Illegal disposal of the product by the user implies administrative sanctions applied as per current regulations.
