USAGE

Starting use

Position the device Place the air humidifier on a stable, horizontal and level surface to prevent vibrations and noise. Never move the air humidifier during use. Set up the air humidifier in such a way that provides 30 cm clearance on all sides. Make sure that the air inlet and air outlet are never blocked.
Fill the water tank Remove the motor unit upwards. Insert the filter into the water tank using the filter holder including the water level sensor . Fill the water tank up to the "Max." mark with cold tap water or distilled water. The water temperature should not exceed 40°C. Do not fill the water tank above the "Max." mark . Now put the motor unit back on the water tank . NOTICE When inserting the filter holder incl. filter and water level sensor , make sure that the round hole of the filter holder is on the small raised area on the bottom of the water tank.
Allow the filter to become saturated To ensure optimum humidification output, allow the filter to absorb water for 30 minutes before switching on the air humidifier (the water level may fall below the "Max." mark during this process).
Switch on the device Insert the mains plug into a suitable socket. Ensure that the cable does not pose a trip hazard. Press the ON/OFF button to switch on the air humidifier. During initial use, the air humidifier will be in Auto mode (see section "Setting the fan speed/mode" ) by default. The LED light ring switches on automatically. The LED light ring shows the current air humidity of the room using colours (see section "LED light ring"). The current relative humidity of the room is shown on the display after a few seconds. As soon as the water in the water tank is used up, the air humidifier switches off automatically and the water tank indicator lights up on the control panel. If the water tank is empty, no humidity values are shown. Now either refill the water tank with water or switch on the filter drying function as required (see section "Filter drying function").
Set additional functions You can now optionally set the following functions: Target humidity, fan speed/mode, timer function and LED light ring. For more information on the individual functions, see sections below.
After use Disconnect the mains plug from the socket after each use. Empty any remaining water from the water tank . Do not leave water in the water tank when the device is not in use. Allow the filter to air dry when not in use or use the filter drying function from time to time after use (see section "Filter drying function"). If you want to reposition the air humidifier, pull the mains plug out of the socket and empty the water tank to avoid overflowing. When carrying the air humidifier, make sure that you hold the device with both hands at the bottom of the water tank .

Setting target humidity

If desired, you can optionally set a target air humidity on the air humidifier.
The target humidity indicator shows the currently set target humidity (40%, 50% or 60%). If no value lights up in the target humidity indicator , the humidifi er humidifies the air until a humidity of 70% is reached and then switches off. In order to avoid overhumidifi cation of a room, we recommend that you select a humidity between 40–60%.

1. Use the target humidity button to select your desired target humidity.
2. The selected target humidity will light up in the target humidity indicator . If no value lights up in the target humidity indicator , the target humidity is set to 70%. As soon as the target humidity is reached, the air humidifi er switches off automatically.

In order to achieve the desired target air humidity as quickly as possible, we recommend keeping the windows and doors closed during use, as dry outside air could slow down reaching the target air humidity.

Setting the fan speed/mode

The air humidifier has three fan speeds ( , and ) and two modes ( AUTO mode and NIGHT mode ).

• With the air humidifier turned on, use the fan speed button to select a fan speed or mode. The display shows the currently set fan speed or current mode. After a few seconds, the current relative humidity of the room is shown again on the display .

Illuminates in display	Description
	Low fan speed
	Medium fan speed
	High fan speed
	In NIGHT mode, the LED light ring and all displays on the control panel go out, except for the NIGHT indicator . In NIGHT mode, the low fan speed is always active.
	In AUTO mode, the fan speed is automatically adjusted depending on how close the current humidity is to the desired target humidity.

Timer function

The air humidifier features a timer function that you can use to determine the number of hours the air humidifier should run for before it automatically switches itself off. You can set a timer for between 1 and 9 hours.

1. Use the timer button to select your desired timer. The currently set timer lights up on the display (e. g. h). After a few seconds, the current air humidity is shown again on the display .
2. To switch off the timer, press the timer button repeatedly until h is shown in the display. The timer is now switched off.

LED light ring

The LED light ring shows you the current humidity of the room using colours.

The LED light ring can also be switched off or on. To switch the LED light ring off or on, press and hold the target humidity button for 5 seconds.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Filter drying function

Mould and bacteria can form in the filter when the air humidifier is not in use. Therefore, always empty the residual water from the tank and dry all parts when the device is not in use. Allow the filter to air dry or use the filter drying function for faster drying:

1. Before activating the filter drying function, ensure that the residual water has been emptied from the tank (residual moisture may collect under the filter holder , which must be dried manually). The filter drying function can only be started once the residual water has been emptied.
2. To activate the filter drying function, press and hold the fan speed button for 5 seconds. The filter drying indicator will start to light up. The filter drying function now dries the filter at the highest setting for the next 3 hours. To switch off the filter drying function prematurely, press any other button.
3. After the time has elapsed, check that the filter is completely dry. If the filter is not completely dry, activate the filter drying function again.

Cleaning the filter

Before cleaning, always ensure that the mains plug of the air humidifier has been properly disconnected. Only clean the filter according to the method described in these instructions for use. Never clean the filter in a washing machine or dishwasher.
Regular cleaning of the filter is required to ensure hygienic and fault-free operation. Rinse the filter weekly under running water to remove dust, dirt and hair.

NOTICE
Replace the filter after 6 months at the latest (see section "Changing the filter"). If the filter is calcified, descale it as described in section "Descaling".

Changing the filter

NOTICE
When replacing the filter , only use original replacement filters from Beurer (see section "Accessories and replacement parts").
Change the filter after 6 months at the latest. After 1440 operating hours*, the filter change indicator lights up automatically. If the filter is already heavily soiled, deformed or discoloured before the 1440 operating hours have elapsed, you must replace the filter earlier and then reset the operating hours counter to 0 (see step 6 in this section).

* Based on an average of 8 hours of daily use of the air humidifier over 6 months.

Cleaning the motor unit housing

Clean the housing of the motor unit with a slightly damp cloth (water or a mild cleaning solution). Do not use solvents, other aggressive cleaning/scrubbing agents or alcohol, as these could damage the surface.

Never clean the motor unit in the dishwasher. Make sure that no liquid enters the air outlet .

Cleaning the water tank/filter holder and water level sensor

The water tank , filter holder and water level sensor can be cleaned in the dishwasher from time to time. The parts should not be exposed to temperatures above 45°C. The water level sensor can be disconnected from the filter holder by simply pulling it. To reassemble, reinsert the water level sensor into the filter holder . Alternatively, you can also clean the water tank , filter holder and water level sensor manually with a mild cleaning solution.

Descaling

We recommend descaling the filter and the water tank weekly. Use a citric acid solution (6 g pure citric acid powder dissolved per 1 litre of water) as a descaling solution.

Descaling the filter

1. Fill a container with descaling solution.
2. Place the filter holder including water level sensor and filter in the descaling solution so that all parts are covered.
3. Leave for one hour. Then rinse everything thoroughly under running water. Never squeeze out the filter as this may deform it.
4. Repeat this procedure if necessary.

Descaling the water tank

1. Fill the water tank with descaling solution up to the "Max." marking .
2. Leave for one hour.
3. Rinse out the water tank with running water.
4. Repeat this procedure if necessary.
