21. Fit the tank cap on the bottom end of the tube onto

the water tank. The recess on the tank cap must t

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 tted 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.

Water

• Only use distilled or boiled, cold tap water without

additives.

CAUTION:

Do not ll 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.

• Replace the water every 3-4 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 humidier.

Fill with water

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

water tank.

• Lift the tank from the base of the humidier and turn

it over. The lling hole is located on the bottom of the

tank.

• Turn the tank cap and ll the water up to ca. 1 centi-

meter 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.

Fitting batteries into the remote control

(Batteries not supplied)

• Open the lid of the battery compartment on the rear

of the remote control.

• Insert 2 MICRO batteries of type R03 “AAA“ 1.5 V.

• Please ensure the correct polarity. Details can be found

in the battery compartment.

• Close the battery compartment.

NOTE:

If you are not going to use the remote control for a pro-

longed period, remove the batteries in order to prevent

them from leaking.

CAUTION:

• Used batteries should not be disposed of in the do-

mestic waste. Please return all batteries to a special

collection point. Your local authority will provide you

with information on this.

• Dierent types of battery or new and used batteries

must not be used together.

Remote control range

The remote control has a range of ca. 8 meters. 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.

Use

Basic Settings

Set the blower inclination angle before starting the

device. You can adjust the inclination angle by tipping the

blower casing with both hands.

NOTE:

• The inclination angle amounts to approx. 10°.

• The tube above the switch housing must not “sag”

due to the inclination of the blower. Water which

collects in the tube prevents the formation of mist.

Operation

You can operate the appliance using the remote control as

well as the buttons on the switch housing. The functions

are identical.

NOTE:

The LED´s on the switch housing indicate the settings.
