Operation U600 C) Operation with pre-heating Button C is used for switching the pre-heating on and off (symbol D lights up). As a result, the water is pre-heated to a temperature of 80 °C before entering the nebuliser space. It takes approx. 10 to 15 minutes for the water in the base to warm up. The mist now leaves the nebuliser space at a pleasant temperature of 40 °C. The advantage of this is that the room temperature does not drop and, in addition, it significantly improves the water quality maintenance. D) Pre-heating Indicator E) Empty indicator (red) The water level is easy to see, thanks to the transparent water tank. The appliance also alerts you when the wa- ter tank is empty. The red empty indicator is illuminated A) On-off switch (symbol E). Please read the chapter «Filling the tank» for Turning the rotary switch clockwise switches the appliance more information.
