Frequently Asked Questions - H50DW GORENJE

What type of water should I use in the Gorenje H50DW humidifier?

Use cold boiled water or distilled water. The water temperature must not exceed 40°C. Do not add any additives (e.g., essential oils, inhalants) to the water tank.

How do I fill the water tank?

Turn off and unplug the humidifier. Remove the mist outlet cover, lift the water tank using its handle, and turn it upside down. Unscrew the tank cap anticlockwise, fill with approximately 5 L of clean water, then tighten the cap clockwise and place the tank back onto the base.

How do I set the timer?

Press the TIMER/ANION button repeatedly to set the desired time from 1 to 12 hours. Each press increases by 1 hour. The timer starts after 5 seconds of no operation. To cancel, cycle through until no timer indicator shows.

What are the different operating modes?

The humidifier has three modes: Standard (manual humidity and intensity settings), Intelligent (automatically maintains 40-60% RH, allows intensity adjustment but not humidity setpoint), and Sleep (same auto range, display turns off after 1 minute, default runtime 8 hours).

How do I clean the humidifier?

Unplug the unit. Clean the water tank and cap with hot water and mild dish soap (rinse thoroughly). Wipe the base with a damp cloth. For descaling, fill the water basin with a mixture of 100 ml white vinegar (4% acetic acid) per 200 ml water and let it soak for at least 4 hours, then wipe clean.

When should I replace the filters?

It is recommended to replace both the water softening filter and the active carbon filter every 6 months for optimal performance and to extend the appliance's lifespan.

Why is there no mist coming out?

Check if the water tank is properly seated and locked. If the water level is too low, the automatic shut-off activates (red 'water lacking' icon flashes). Also, ensure the mist outlet cover is not blocked. The safety switch will stop mist if the tank is lifted. Add water and reinstall correctly; the unit will resume within 15 minutes or go into standby.

Can I add essential oils to the water?

No, do not add any additives to the water tank. Instead, use the fragrance box located at the bottom of the appliance. Open the box and add a few drops of essential oil carefully.

How do I activate the ionizer (anion) function?

Press and hold the TIMER/ANION button for 2-3 seconds. The blue 'anion' icon lights up on the display. Repeat to deactivate.

What is the noise level of the humidifier?

The noise level is ≤ 35 dB(A), making it quiet and suitable for use in bedrooms.

	“MODE”:

- "ON/OFF" button:

When you press the button to switch the appliance ON/OFF, it will automatically start working (in standard mode, with medium humidifying intensity).

The display lights up with a blue icon for STANDARD (standard mode). The percentage in orange shows the relative humidity in the room. The intensity of the mist spray is shown by blue columns.

• "TIMER/ANION" button:

By pressing this button, you can adjust the time when the appliance will be turned off automatically.

Press this key to adjust the time:

Each time you press the button, the timer will increase by 1 hour. If there is no operation for 5 seconds, the timer starts with the timer indicator on. The maximum setting time for the timer is 12 hours.

When pressing and holding this button for 2-3 seconds, you will turn the ionizer on or off. Ionization is the process of producing negative ions, which are called anions. When this function is activated, the display lights up with a blue icon labeled "anion".

- "HUMIDITY" button:

With this button, you set the required relative humidity (RH) in a room. Humidity is adjusted from 40-80%. It displays "oL" (meaning without setting) when humidity is not set. Each time you press the button, humidity increases by 10%.

If there is no operation for 5 seconds, the humidity setting will be turned off.

When your set relative humidity in the room is reached, the appliance will automatically reduce the intensity of spraying. In that case, setting the intensity is not possible. When the relative humidity in the room is lower than the set value, the appliance will start working with the intensity of humidifying that was set before.

- Button & sliding bar "—.....+":

With this button, you set the intensity of humidifying. You can choose among six levels of spraying. When pressing –, you decrease the spraying of mist; when pressing +, you increase the spraying. Instead of pressing + or –, you can slide on the control bar with a finger. Left for decreasing and right for increasing intensity.

The intensity of humidifying can be operated under all three modes.

- "MODE" button:

You can choose between three modes of working. These are STANDARD, INTELLIGENT and SLEEP. By pressing this button you cycle through all three modes.

"standard" mode;

This is the default mode. You set the intensity of spraying and also the relative humidity in the room. The same applies to the timer and ionization functions.

"intelligent" mode;

Your humidifier operates at a pre-set humidity under this mode. It is 40-60% RH. When the relative humidity in the room is at least 60%, the appliance decreases the intensity of spraying automatically. When the relative humidity is lower than 40%, the appliance increases the intensity of spraying automatically. Under this mode you can set the intensity of spraying, but you cannot set the humidity in the room. As in standard mode, you can also set the timer and ionization here.

"sleep" mode;

Your humidifier operates at a pre-set humidity under this mode. It is 40-60% RH. When the relative humidity in the room is at least 60%, the appliance decreases the intensity of spraying automatically. When the relative humidity is lower than 40%, the appliance increases the intensity of spraying automatically.

If there is no press on the buttons for at least 1 minute, all the icons except "power" will be shut off automatically. In this case, you may press any button to activate the display again.

The default working time for SLEEP mode is 8 hours. After that, the unit turns off automatically.

Under this mode you can set the intensity of spraying, but you cannot set the humidity in the room. As in standard mode, you can also set the timer and ionization here.

Note:

• Always unplug the appliance before you refill the water tank.
• Automatic mist stop protects the steam generator from overheating. In both cases, the humidifier is still on and the fan continues to operate.
• The safety switch automatically switches off the steam generator to stop the mist output when the water level is too low, or if you lift the water tank. In both cases, the red icon labeled "water lacking" starts flashing. If you add water within 15 minutes and reinstall the reservoir correctly, the humidifier will continue to operate under the set mode. Under water-lacking protection status, after 15 minutes, the unit will come into standby status automatically.

Cleaning

Do not use any extra purifiers.

Do not immerse the base, mains cord or mains plug in water or any other liquid.

Do not use any metal or hard objects to clean the steam generator.

1. Unplug the humidifier from the mains and set the on/off knob to 'off'.
2. Clean the water tank and the tank cover with hot water. You can use some basic washing-up liquid or a dishwasher.
3. For cleaning the inside of the water tank, fill in water, firmly tighten the tank cap and repeatedly shake the water tank.

Note: Make sure that you do not leave any washing-up liquid in the water tank or tank cover.

1. Clean the base with a damp cloth.

Tip: Regular cleaning reduces jam.

Descaling

Tips to avoid scale

Nevertheless, your humidifier and ionizer includes a water softening filter. We strongly recommend you to use cold boiled, filtered or distilled water. Make sure that the water temperature is lower than 40°C. Clean the tank cover, the water tank, the steam generator and the water basin every week. Use the cleaning brush which is added. Fill the water tank with fresh water every time you use the humidifier.

Clean all parts of the humidifier, empty the water tank and the water basin and dry all parts with a soft, dry cloth when you are not going to use your humidifier for a long time.

Descaling the humidifier

1. Disconnect the humidifier and set the on/off knob to 'off'.
2. Fill the water basin with 100 ml of vinegar (4% acetic acid) per 200 ml of water and let it soak for at least four hours. So leave the water and vinegar in the water basin for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight). Empty the water basin and wipe it also with a soft cloth.
3. Empty the water basin and wipe it also with a soft cloth.
4. Put some white vinegar (4% acetic acid) also on the steam generator and then wipe it away with a moist cloth.
5. Wash all other parts with clean water.

Changing filters

There are two filters in your appliance.

The first one is called the filter for water softening and is attached to the lid of the water tank. That filter makes water softer and minimizes the formation of water scale in the humidifier.

Twist clockwise to install a new water softener.

The second filter is called the active carbon filter and is located on the bottom of the appliance where air comes into the humidifier. That filter removes dust and other small particles from the air.

Remove the active carbon filter from the bottom.

Install a new filter.

To achieve the best possible results of humidifying

and ionizing, we strongly recommend you to replace both filters every six months. That way you will also extend the life of your appliance.

Environment

Do not throw away the appliance with the normal household waste at the end of its life, but hand it in at an official collection point for recycling. By doing this, you help to preserve the environment.
