GENERAL OPERATING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The diffuser contains a high-output cold mist nebuliser: only use the nebuliser provided and follow the operating
instructions carefully. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or
malfunctions.
Ensure that the required voltage and frequency (AC230V-/50Hz) match the available power source.
This product is not a toy. Children should be adequately supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
This appliance is not suitable for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities,
or persons without the necessary experience and knowledge, unless they have been adequately supervised and
instructed concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Disconnect the mains power when the appliance is not in use or for cleaning operations. Keeping the plug
inserted may cause electric shocks or accidents.
To disconnect the appliance remove the plug from the socket. Pull on the plug only. Do not pull on the cord when
turning off the appliance.
Do not insert objects or sharp instruments into the nozzle. This may cause electric shock, malfunctions or other
accidents.
Do not bend, drag and twist the cord or apply force to remove it.
Do not use the appliance if the cord or plug are
damaged:
this may cause the risk of fire or electric shock. If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, dealer or a similarly qualified person so as to avoid any safety risks.
Do not use the appliance in the presence of other electric equipment such as computers or precision instruments. The
humidity or “white dust” contained in the mist may cause the appliances to malfunction.
In the event of an anomaly, switch the appliance off and remove the plug immediately. Do not dismantle, repair or
modify this product freely. In the event of malfunctions, contact the technical assistance centre directly.
Do not immerse the cord, plug or any other element of the appliance in water or other liquids.
Do not touch the plug with wet hands.
Do not inhale the mist discharged from the nozzle.
Do not use acidic or basic solvents for cleaning the interior of the appliance: the residues may hamper its efficient
operation.
Do not operate the appliance on unstable surfaces, as the water flowing out of the appliance may wet the floor or
cause malfunctions. Do not place the appliance on a high or sloping surface, as it may fall as a result of vibrations or
accidental knocks. Placing the appliance on a sloping surface may cause the humidifier’s water level control device to
malfunction, thereby causing an interruption in operation.
Do not place the appliance on furniture or supports with poor heat resistance: this may cause warping or fading of the
support due to overheating.
Do not place the appliance in environments characterised by strong magnetic fields: this may cause anomalies during
operation.
Do not place the appliance close to furniture or curtains. The mist may wet the furniture or curtains causing them to
fade or deform. Moreover, the “white dust” included in the mist may alter the surfaces of furniture: therefore, the mist
jet should not be directed towards furniture.
Do not operate the appliance in close proximity to bathtubs, showers, washbasins or pools.
Fill the water tank with clean water every day. Remove any residual water in the tank after every use. Clean the water
tank and nebuliser every one or two weeks and keep them clean.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains supply if the water tank is empty or if the appliance is upside-down: this will
cause the nebuliser to malfunction.
Do not move the appliance during operation as this may cause malfunctions.
During winter, the water in the tank may freeze and cause the appliance to malfunction.
Remove any residual water after use.
Carry out maintenance on the appliance by regularly and thoroughly cleaning the tank and nebuliser. Continuous
operation of the appliance with dirt residues may lead to faults and malfunctions.
Do not use hot water to avoid damaging the parts that generate mist.
Handle the water level control device with care. Do not pull vigorously, knock or scratch the device with hard objects
as this may damage it.
The internal ultrasonic nebuliser is highly sensitive. Do not touch it with fingers or rub it with metal accessories to avoid
reducing mist emission.
Do not move the nebuliser while the appliance is in operation.
Do not touch the ceramic disc while the appliance is in operation as ultrasonic vibrations may cause a stinging
sensation. However, it does not cause electric shock.
Store the transformer in a cool, dry place.
