2. Operating the appliance
Operation
Setting up

– Make sure the machine stands safely and the airflow is not blocked by e.g.
furniture or curtains. Never place near curtains, furniture or walls (risk of
damage by moisture).
– Never place near radiators or other heat sources. Make sure that nobody
can trip over the power cable and that the machine is out of reach of chil-
dren (
Caution: hot steam!
). Never let children play with the appliance.
Important:
– Only use the humidifier in dry rooms up to 50 m² / 125 m³ in size
(AX 260: 70 m² / 175 m³) and without extension cable.
Filling the water tank
– Turn off the power switch ON/OFF (7.).
– Pull out the power plug.
– Take off the cover (1.) and remove the water tank (2.).
– Turn the water tank upside down and unscrew the lid.
– Empty out residual water and rinse the tank well.

Water level indicator lamp
– Blue = full. Red = empty. When the tank is empty the evaporator hotplate
switches off automatically. It switches on again as soon as the tank is full.
Note:
– When starting up or after a long period of disuse, wait 1–2 minutes for
the water circuit to fill. The lamp goes blue when the tank is full.
Aroma container («ring»)
– Only put a small quantity of aroma essence or inhalation agent
in the aroma container (11.).
Caution!
Never put aroma essence directly in the water tank!
Information on warm-mist type humidifiers
– This type of humidifier turns water into steam on the hotplate (13.).
– Air humidity is monitored by the integrated hygrostat.
– Air circulation strongly interferes with humidification (e.g. due to
open or loose windows in high rooms).
– Please note that moisture rises with warm air and may cause
undesirable condensation.
– Recommended room air humidities:
50% humidity at 18 °C room temperature
45% humidity at 20 °C room temperature
40% humidity at 22 °C room temperature
Starting up
– Insert the power plug.
– Turn on the power switch ON/OFF. The LED goes blue.
2-speed output control with LED lamps
– Select the required output:
– «
» for high output (daytime operation or in large rooms / blue LED).
– « » for low output (nighttime operation / green LED).
Integrated hygrostat controller
– Turn the knob (5.) to adjust the hygrostat. This monitors the air humidity.
Setting range: 20–90 % relative air humidity.
– The recommended comfort range is marked with white dots.
After use
– Turn off the power switch ON/OFF.
– Pull out the power plug.
– Wait for the humidifier to cool down completely.
– Empty out the residual water and rinse out the water tank well.
– Regularly clean and maintain the humidifier to ensure hygienic and
trouble-free operation:
– Weekly: clean the housing parts.
– Depending on scaling; descale the evaporator hotplate (see next page).
