Operation AOS U600 C) Operation with pre-heating (warm mist) 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 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.
