Page 6: Important Safety Instructions
• Connect the unit only to alternating current with voltage according to the rating label. • Children cannot recognize the hazards associated with the usage of electrical appliances. For this reason, always supervise children when they are near the humidifier (image 1). • Never use the appliance if there is any damage to the appliance or cable (2), after malfunction, after the appliance has been dropped (3) or damaged in any other way. • Repairs of electrical appliances are only to be made by qualified service engineers (4). Improper repair work can cause considerable danger to the user. • Place the humidifier on a dry, level surface (5). • Do not place the appliance next to heating vent. • Place appliance where it is not easily knocked over (6). • Always unplug when not in use. • Only operate the humidifier when it is completely assembled. • ALWAYS unplug before removing/filling/emptying the water tank, before cleaning/maintaining, assembling/ dismantling of individual parts and before moving the appliance. • Do not run power cords under carpets, and do not co ver with throw rugs. Arrange cord so that it will not be tripped over. • Never pull the plug from the outlet by the cable or with wet hands (7). -
Page 8: How It Works
How it works Your appliance • washes and humidifies the air without using filter mats • works quietly in two operation modes • is manufactured from highquality, longlife components. • has a large cleansing capacity through preionization. The individual dust particles are ionized (charged) and stick to the humidifier discs. Special humidifying discs rotate in a water bath inside the unit; this cleanses the air passing over them of impurities in a natural way – in the same way that air is washed by the rain in nature. The air humidification takes place according to the self regulating principle of cold evaporation. The appliance therefore generates ideal air humidity, without the need for additional control units. A specially tuned antimicrobial protection system (Ionic... -

Do not switch on the unit if the cable is defective (2). Water tank Water tank cap Ionic Silver Stick ®... -
Page 10: Filling The Tank
Filling the tank Always unplug the unit before removing the water tank. Do not operate the appliance when the water tank is empty! Only fill the water tank with fresh, cold tap wa ter. Use water additives at your own risk. We do no accept any liability for possible reductions in performance or damage. Do not put the water tank under pressure, e.g. by filling with carbonated mineral water. Do not add any essential oils or fragrances to the water; the plastic material might become discolored and damaged. Close cap tightly (19) to prevent water from leaking out of the tank. • Remove the water tank (16). • Ensure that there are no foreign objects in the water tank. • Remove the water tank cap from the tank (17). Fill the tank with fresh, cold tap water (18). Fully close the water tank cap to prevent the water tank from leaking (19). Place the water tank on the water base (20). • After filling the water tank, most of the water will empty into the base. The water tank may be filled a second time (base will not overflow). • Connect the cable to the outlet and switch the ap pliance on. • The red empty indicator light may stay illuminated for some seconds until the base is filled with water. The unit is fitted with an automatic cutoff switch. As soon as the water tank is empty, the unit switches off automa tically; the empty indicator illuminates (also see section «Operating 2055A»). -
Page 11: Rotary Switch
Operating 2055A A) Rotary switch Connect the appliance to an outlet and turn rotary switch A from position B (off) to position C or D as required. Posi tion D is especially quiet (night mode). Position C (normal mode) achieves maximum humidity output. The disc rota tion speed remains constant with both mode selections. The fan rotation speed increases with level II (C). B) Switching on/off If the rotary switch is in position B, the appliance is swit ched off. C) Normal mode If you select position C, then normal mode is set, and the appliance reaches maximum humidity output. D) Night mode If you turn the rotary switch to position D, the appliance works in night mode and is especially quiet. E) Operating light and Automatic Shut-Off «Tank empty» The green light (LED) (E) illuminates when the appliance is switched on. The water level is easy to see thanks to the transparent water tank. The red LED light on the ap... -
Page 12: Cleaning & Maintenance
Water quality maintenance The Ionic Silver Stick (ISS) uses the antimicrobial effect of silver to prevent the growth of microbes in the water base. It begins to function as soon as it comes into contact with water, even if the unit is switched off. The Ionic Silver Stick should be changed every year. Look at picture 22 for the position of the ISS in the base part of the unit. Do not touch the water in the base during operation! Switch off the unit first. Contact your local retailer or check our website www.airoswiss.net for reorder information. Lifecycle indicator Your appliance comes with a lifecycle indicator on the back of the upper part for changing the Ionic Silver Stick remind yourself of when you put the ISS into operation, please cross the current month on the indicator and write the current year on the line provided (23). - Page 14 Cleaning the water tank and base (every 2 weeks) • Lift the water tank out of the unit, open the water tank cap and clean the tank (33 – 35). • Lift the upper part of the unit off the base and remove the Ionic Silver Stick (36). ® • Use AIROSWISS EZCal custom cleaning and descaling agent only to remove deposits from the water base re gularly (37). There is a sample of EZCal included in the packaging of your humidifier. Instructions for using are on the packet. Rotate the disc assembly a few times by hand (37) to clean the mineral deposits on the humi difying discs. Only use 1 packet for 32 oz of water. Do not change the ratio. Do NOT run the unit when using EZCal. This can cause damage to the product and voids the warranty. Thoroughly rinse the base with potable water after using EZCal and make sure no EZCal resi dues remain in the base. • Empty the water base (38), remove the disc assembly (39) and rinse (40). • Remove deposits from the base using a plastic or wooden brush (41).

What are the effects of too little or too much humidity? A. Dry air can cause dry skin, static electricity, out of tune musical instruments, increased levels of dust (dry air causes dust to rise), damage to wooden objects (dry out and eventually cracks appear), discomfort, sick ness, and dries out nasal membranes. Overhumidifying the air can cause mold and wallpaper to peel. Q. Why do I need a humidifier when I can just open my window? A. The moisture level within the outside air is not high enough to humidify a room. The colder the air the less moisture it is capable to hold, and the more the air is heated up the percentage of relative humidity is lower. Relative humidity means the amount of water vapor in the air, compared to the amount the air could hold if it was totally saturated. The difference is higher between outside and inside temperatures; more humidification...
- Page 18 It is good to have calcium deposits built up on the plates as it will capture more particles from the air and add more moisture to the air. Q. Humidity level is not changing or does not reach the desired humidity level A. If the water tank needs refilling more than once per day, the unit is working properly and the climatic con dition in the room has an influence on the humidity. Reasons for low humidity level: • air circulation is very high (air is fully exchanged se veral times per day – the humidifier needs to starts its work from scratch) • insulation of home (see air circulation) • open space with high ceilings (not only the footage of the room counts but also the height) – highrise buil dings require more humidification. • open windows – works similar to air circulation (if it is very cold outside don’t open the window more than 2 times per day for 3 minutes) • big difference between outside temperature and inside temperature – the colder the air the less moisture it is capable to hold and the more the air is heated up...
