• Encourages infections and illnesses of respiratory system? • Causes weariness, tiredness and poor concentration? • Stresses household pets and house plants? • Encourages the formation of dust and the electrostatic charging of textiles made of synthetic fibers, carpets and plastic flooring? • Damages furnishings made of wood and parquet? • Detunes musical instruments? General information A comfortable atmosphere indoors is reached with a rela tive humidity level between 40 and 60%. Your humidifier automatically controls the humidity level according to the desired setting. If the air is too dry, the humidifier will auto matically switch on. As soon as the desired humidity level is reached, it will switch off. Unpacking • Carefully remove the humidifier from the box. Place your hands underneath the product to pull it out of the box (10). • Warning: Do not take the unit out of the box by pulling up on the tank handle base may fall and will be da maged (11). • Remove the plastic bag from the humidifier. • Observe the information given on the rating plate about the voltage. • Use the original packaging for storing the appliance if you do not use the humidifier all year round. -

The moisture of the mist can damage the floor surface (6) (see Safety Instructions). • The unit should be placed in an elevated position (7), e.g. on a table, chest, etc. at least 3 ft off the floor. • The mist outlet must not be pointed directly at plants, furniture, or other objects (12). Keep distance of at least 20 inches (50cm). • Soak the demineralization cartridge in a water bath 24 hours before using it (13). The granules have to ab sorb water to reach high performance. If the cartridge is soaked in the tank, make sure to exchange the water and empty the water from the base before using the humidifier. • On average the demineralization cartridge should be replaced every 2 – 3 months depending on your water hardness. Some areas may need to replace the cart ridge sooner, some may last longer. The cartridge must be exchanged at the latest after 6 months or the unit does not reach its full performance anymore. See «Replacement of the demineralization cartridge». • Read the instructions under «Filling the Tank» for adding water in the humidifier (14 and 15). • Place the water tank onto the base. • Insert the plug into the socket and switch on the appliance using the on/off dial (18 and 19). • About 10 to 15 minutes after it is switched on the de...

Page 11: Filling The Tank
Filling the tank Always unplug the unit before removing the water tank. Do not touch the water in the base during operation! Do not operate the humidifier when the water tank is empty! When the water reaches the minimum level, the unit switches off the nebulizer function automatically. The empty indicator light comes on showing tank is empty. • Remove the water tank from the base and unscrew the water tank cap (14). • Make sure that no foreign objects are in the water tank. • Fill the tank with clean, cold water from the tap (15). - Page 12 C) Operation with pre-heating (warm mist) Button C is used for switching the preheating on and off (symbol D lights up). As a result, the water is preheated to a temperature of 176 °F (80 °C) before entering the nebulizer space. It takes approx. 10 to 15 minutes for the water in the base to warm up. The mist now leaves the humidifier at a pleasant temperature of 104 °F (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 (On/Off) 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 (symbol C). Please read the chapter «Filling the tank» for...

Page 14: Cleaning & Maintenance
Always unplug the unit before removing the water tank. Do not touch the water in the base during operation! Caution – risk of electric shock and damage of the product! • Switch off the appliance (20) and unplug it from the socket before cleaning it (21). • Clean the water tank and the base regularly. Use water only, no detergents (22). • Use AIROSWISS EZCal custom cleaning and descaling agent only to remove deposits from the membrane re gularly (23). There is a sample of EZCal included in the packaging of your humidifier. Instructions for using are on the packet. 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. EZCal from AIROSWISS is the only recommen ded cleaning and descaling solution. Do NOT use any other cleaning solutions since it can damage the product. Any use of cleaning solutions apart from EZCal will void the warranty. - Page 15 • Only use the brush to clean the membrane. This should be done once a week. Only use the softbristle portion of the brush (26). • Change the water in the tank at least once a week if water is standing for more than a week. • To remove the mist outlet (27): Twist the tabs on the mist outlet to either the right or the left. Align the tabs and arrow on the mist outlet with the arrows on the ring around the mist outlet. Pull up on the mist outlet once the arrows are aligned. 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 28 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.

- Page 16 The water tank is equipped with a demineralization cart ridge. This cartridge has to be replaced every 2 – 3 months. If the water is very hard, it may be necessary to replace the cartridge earlier. White dust around the device is a sure sign that the cartridge needs replacing. If white residue still forms around the device after a new cartridge has been inserted, please make sure that the water you are using is untreated. If the water flows through a decalcification system – such as an ion exchanger – (sodium is added to remove calcium) in the building before it is used in the humidifier, salt can pre cipitate as white dust around the device. The demineralization cartridge or the granules must be exchanged at the latest after 6 months or the unit does not reach its full performance anymore. Option A: replace the granules • Remove the water tank from the base and unscrew the water tank cap (30). • The demineralization cartridge is attached to the tank cap. Unscrew the cartridge from the cap by turning it...

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 20 Q. H umidity 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...
