FIRST USE / OPERATION
1. Please note: Never transport the device when it is filled with water and when upper part (2) is attached.
Otherwise water may splash into the upper part and stop the electronics from working correctly.
2. For this reason, base (4) of the appliance should initially be filled with water and placed in a suitable location
separately. Alternatively, the device can initially be positioned and then filled through water filling opening
(9). Insert filter cassettes (10) into the “drawers”.
3. When this base is in the desired position, place upper housing (2) back on the base. Plug power cable (1)
into the household power socket. Check that the housing is fastened securely, as a safety contact prevents
operation if the device is open.
4. Switch on the appliance using the on/off switch (6). The desired power setting can be selected using power
setting button 1 or 2 (7).
5. The desired air humidity can be selected using hygrostat button (8), from 1 LED (low humidity) to 5 LEDs
(high humidity). For example, if only 1 LED is lit, the device switches itself off at a relative humidity of approx.
35%, and only starts operating again when the humidity falls below the 35%. We recommend a medium
setting (in the comfort zone) for an optimal air humidity of around 40-60%.
6. As required, 1-2 drops of fragrance can be added to fragrance tray (5). This enables the fragrance to be
distributed around the room in an optimal way. Fragrances must not be added directly to the water in the
water tank.
Caution: the device will not switch on if the hygrostat has been set too low.
CLEANING PROCEDURE
1. Switch off the device and unplug the power cable from the socket before all maintenance work and after
each use.
2. 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.
3. Descale the humidifier as appropriate for the hardness of the water, but at least once a week:
First remove the upper part, and descale the base with a standard descaler and then rinse it thoroughly.
Reassemble the device completely before use.
4. Replace filter cassettes (10) every 2 to 3 months. Output is impaired if the filter paper has too much lime
scale (as it then absorbs less water).
CLEAN CUBE
Before attaching the water tank, insert the Clean Cube in the base in the position indicated.
The Clean 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 Clean Cube, you should replace the water on a daily basis.
USEFUL INFORMATION
1. Information how an evaporator/ humidifier works:
How does the evaporator work? Evaporator systems humidify the air and clean it by removing particles of dirt
and pollen. These products achieve a highly effective humidifying effect in a natural way: the in-built ventilator
sucks dry air through water-saturated antibacterial filter cassettes. The air only absorbs moisture until it has been
enriched naturally. Excessive humidity is therefore not possible. These systems work incredibly quietly and
require very little electricity. We recommend evaporators to be used in bedrooms and children’s rooms.
7. The device has a dimmer function. If the power setting button (7) is depressed for 3 seconds, the LEDs are
switched off. The device continues to operate at the previously set level. The LEDs can be switched back on
by again pressing the power setting button (7) for 3 seconds.
