In winter time the cold air comes from the outside and gets warmer by the room
temperature. The relative humidity is getting lower. The humidity must be increased
by a humidifier.
The relative humidity in a room should be:
bedroom or living room: 45-60%
sickroom: 40-50%
library: 40-50%
Heating (100 watts)
By pressing the button Heating (the Heating Symbol appears on the display), the
water is slightly pre-heated so that the water vapour of the room air does not with-
draw to much temperature. When you switch on Heating, 100 watts energy more are
consumed.
Timer
By means of the button Timer, you can determine the time how long your air humi-
difier shall work. You have the option to choose from 1 hour to 12 hours. When the
adjusted time is over, the air humidifier returns to the standby mode.
Press the button Timer; 1:00 is flashing on the display. Now you have 5 seconds left to
make any changes, otherwise 1 hour is activated. When you press the button 6 times
after each other , 6:00 is flashing on the display, etc. When you intend to switch off
the time, you have to press the button Timer for so long until the display does not
show any time.
Ion
By means of the button Ion the water vapour is enriched with negative ions. The ef-
fect is pure nature: after a summer thunderstorm the air is especially rich of negative
ions, so it is very fresh.
Press the button Ion. The display shows the symbol . You can switch it off at any
time by pressing the button Ion.
By pressing the
„Ionisation“-button
there will be negative ions in the air. The effect
is like in nature. After a summer thunderstorm the air is filled with negative ions and
feels therefore very fresh.
Quantity of ions per cubic centimeter of air:
at high mountain 8000 ion/ccm
at the sea 4000ion/ccm
at the countryside 1200ion/ccm
in the city 200ion/ccm
in the office only 20 ion/ccm
Remote control
You can control all functions by means of the remote control. Pay attention that there
are no obstructions between the device and the remote control.
To enjoy the benefits of the device for a long time, you should consider the
following notes:
A decalcification filter No. 12 is installed in your Steba air humidifier that functions
∙
properly if the water is not too hard.
When you use hard water the filters have to be replaced regularly so that the air
∙
humidifier can function properly.
It is better to operate the air humidifier with soft water; this reduces the frequency
∙
of the replacement of the decalcification filter.
However, the decalcification filter No. 12 should be generally replaced once a year.
Important:
Clean the inner space No. 15 and the membrane No. 13 once a week with
a soft cloth or brush so that no sedimentation may occur.
The less salt is in the water the less sedimentation occurs.
Steba tipp
Weekly cleaning avoids white sediments. Bacteria and germs will not have a chance!
When the device is regularly used, its cleaning will be easier and quicker.
Cleaning:
When water with a lot of scale is used it can happen that some scale covers the
bottom of the water tank, in the base or on the surface of the ultrasonic transductor
surrounding area. When the scale covers the transductor too much the appliance
cannot work correctly.
If the appliance is not used for some time, e.g. during the summer or when too much
scale is inside the appliance, then do according following instructions.
The appliance must be unplugged and the water must be removed from the base and
out of the water tank by opening the cover at the bottom of the water tank and pour
out the water. Only close the water tank again when the appliance should be used
again, else the water tank should dry up completely.
Scale remains at the base, the transductor and the water tank should be wiped away.
It is essential, that the transductor is not damaged. When there is excessive scale
some scale remover should be used or fill vinegar in the bassin. After some time, de-
pending on deposit, the scale dissolved. After this the base must be cleaned comple-
tely with clean water. The filter should be put into salty water (1 spoon salt per litre)
for one day for recovery. Then rinse the filter with clear water and shake it and then
let it dry.
