Setting up / operation
1. Place Oskar little on a flat surface in the desired area. Use the filling open-
ing (9) to fill the lower part (2) with water up to the maximum mark (12),
either at a water tap or with a watering can. When you have filled the
lower part at the tap, carefully fit the upper part (1) to the lower part (2).
Plug the mains cable (3) into a electric socket.
2. Start the appliance by pressing the on/off switch (5). The blue LED should
then light up. If a red pilot lamp (8 and 12) lights up however, this indicates
either lack of water in the appliance or failure to seat the upper part cor-

3. By pressing the speed level selector button (6) you can change the humid-
ity output (a blue lamp for normal evaporation, two blue lamps for high
evaporation).
4. If you find the lamps too bright (in a bedroom for example), you may reduce
the light intensity by pressing the night mode key (7). You can choose
between three different modes:
• Normal mode (default mode)
• Dimmed mode (push once)
• Lights-out mode (push twice)
• By pushing the dimmer button once more, you can go back into normal
mode.
If there is no water in the appliance, the red LEDs (8 and 12) light up in all
modes (normal and night mode). The red light can not be dimmed.

room. Please be as economical as possible in the use of fragrances, be-
cause excessive quantities may lead to malfunctions and damage to the
appliance. To use fragrances, remove the fragrance container (10) from
the filling opening (9). Place no more than 2–3 drops of fragrance in the
container and replace it in the space provided in the filling opening. If you
