4 Startup

Remove the reservoir and fill it away 

from the unit with drinking water or 

sterile water. Note the filling level!

-  Carefully put the reservoir back into the humidifier unit. Make 

sure  that  no  moisture  gets  into  the  unit,  although  moderate 

moisture in the humidifier basin does not influence the unit‘s 

functioning.

-  Put the humidifier cover back on the 

reservoir.

 

-  Place the humidifier cover onto the humidifier unit in such a 

way that the arrow on the cover points to the “opened padlock“ 

(illustration 1) symbol. The guide lugs on the bottom of the cover 

must fit into the side guides. Push the cover slightly down and 

at the same time push it carefully to the back onto the humidifier 

unit. Try not to press on the window area on the unit’s cover. 

The cover should move easily. If it does not move easily, it is 

stuck. In this case, carefully take it off again and try again. The 

humidifier unit is closed, if the arrowhead shows to the symbol 

“closed padlock“ (illustration 2).
