Turn off the appliance by means of the on/off switch (1). Fill water in the water tank
and put it back into the master unit. Switch on the appliance by means of the on/off
switch and wait for about 10 seconds. The appliance starts generating vapour.
How to turn off the appliance
Always
turn off the appliance by means of the on/off switch (1) after use. If you do
not unplug the appliance, all settings will be memorized for the next activation of the
air humidifier. If the appliance is unplugged, all previous settings will be deleted.
Note that you cannot lift the appliance by the handles of the water tank. The appliance
should be lifted by grabbing the master unit.
Remember
•
This ultrasound air humidifier comprises a metal membrane that vibrates in
an ultrasound frequency, thus creating drops of water that, by means of an
incorporated fan, is dispersed into vapour.
•
The gurgling sound is normal, because the water passes through the anti-scale
filter cassette of the vapour chamber.
•
The intensity of the vapour is affected by the relative humidity and the room
temperature. It is more difficult to generate vapour if the surroundings are cold
and humid because the evaporation process takes more time.
•
The water in the water tank shall be between 4 and 50°C and it shall be clean tap
water or distilled water.
•
If the local water is mineral-bearing (hard water) this may cause white residues on
the appliance and on near-by surfaces round the appliance. So this does not mean
that the appliance is defective, but that the tap water is mineral-bearing.
Cleaning and maintenance
Switch off the appliance and unplug prior to cleaning. Clean the water tank and the
vapour chamber once a week.
Cleaning of the anti-scale filter cassette:
The anti-scale filter cassette (B) consists
of a plastic lid with lock, a non-woven filter, and yellow, transparent water softening
balls.
The yellow, transparent balls reduce the amount of calcium and to a certain degree
manganese and iron in hard water.
The anti-scale filter cassette should be cleaned once a week depending on the water
quality. Rather clean too often than too seldom.
Lift off the water tank (A). Remove the anti-scale filter cassette from the vapour
chamber and pour out remaining water from the anti-scale filter cassette. Rinse the
anti-scale filter cassette under running water to make the water pass through the
entire anti-scale filter cassette.
Replace the anti-scale filter cassette once a year (can be ordered with OBH Nordica
08-445 79 00).
