8.1. Wipe an external surface of the appliance with wet and soft cloth.
To avoid the electric shock, do not scratch and damage elements of the
appliance, while cleaning.
Do not clean the appliance with solvent, gasoline, xylene, scrub brush, talc
powder and other substances, except for water.
8.2. Wipe remaining water within the groove under the tank with wet and

the cover.
After removing of water from the diffuser surface, wipe it with soft cloth.
Clean the external surface of the appliance with wet and soft cloth.
^ ATTENTION!
To avoid deformation and abrasion of working surfaces, resulting in
lowering of diffusion level or other defects, do not use metal
brushes, razors or talc powder to wipe the nozzle surface.
In case of a heavy shock, the tank may leak.
In case of a water leak, stop the appliance operation immediately
and apply to the service center.
To keep the appliance dry, remove water after cleaning and dry the
water tank and the case.

Failure
Possible reason
Correction method
Poor diffusion
(insufficient capacity)
The appliance works in
soft mode (low diffusion
frequency)
There is no failure.
If it is necessary to switch to heavy mode, turn the
controller knob to the extreme right position.
The diffuser is clogged
Clean the diffuser
Too low temperature of
water in the tank
Set the maximum capacity. After a while, the
humidifier capacity will increase
No diffusion
Poor plugging
Plug the appliance accurately
White bloom on objects
around the appliance (salts
from water)
Sediments on the
membrane
Clean the membrane with a special brush
Steam with unpleasant
smell
Stale water is used
Clean the appliance in accordance with cleaning and
maintenance instructions and fill it with fresh water
There are residues of stale
water or garbage in the
groove for water or in the
diffuser

2. User's manual - 1
3. Guarantee slip - 1
4. Package - 1
5. Filling of tank with water
To fill the tank - see Figure 2.
Fig. 2
ATTENTION!
To avoid the electric shock, unplug the appliance before dismantling
(removing of the tank)! Do not fill the tank with other liquids, except for
tap water. Other liquids have unfavorable effect upon internal
components and lead to failure.
Do not fill the appliance or the water tank with such additives as
essential oil, flavouring agent, detergent, chemical pharmaceuticals, hot
water (over 40°), etc. Otherwise, the water tank and internal
components will be damaged and get out of order. Do not fill the water
directly in internal part of the appliance or in the diffuser. The presence
of water inside the appliance may result in its failure.
Do not hit or throw the water tank. It may be damaged, which will result
in water leakage. Do not use the appliance in case of heavy shock of the
tank. Apply to the maintenance service or service center immediately.
Fill the tank with pure water every day and keep the appliance clean.

Appliance operation
Switching on/off, control of steam escape intensity
Plug the appliance. Before that, fill the tank with water. Turn the on-and-off
and steam escape intensity controller to the right.
The appliance will switch on, the indication light will flash and steam will
come out from the diffuser. In the very beginning of this operation the
diffusion level may be unstable, which is caused by temperature difference
and water quality. Stabilization of this process will take a short time.
O - On
O
- Off
3l - Night mode
Turning the controller to the right and to the left, you may control the steam
intensity. Higher intensity of steam escape results in stronger and faster air
humidification.
In night mode the device operates with less noise and intensity. Depending
on the ambient temperature, humidification capacity may vary from 80 to
100 ml/h
Relative air humidity for comfortable conditions should be between 40 and
60%. You may define a favourable humidity level on the basis of your own
feelings or use a special device - hygrometer*, measuring a relative humidity
level.
Air flavouring
The appliance is equipped with a chamber for aromatic oil. When the
aromatic oil is added, the air will be flavoured. Aromatic oil is not included in
the delivery set.
7.Cartridge filter with ion exchange resin
The delivery set includes a cartridge filter with ion exchange resin. If the
humidifier is used for a long time without replacement of the filter, there
may be a white bloom on the appliance and on objects near it.
This white bloom is calcium and magnesium contained in conventional tap
water. When the ion exchange resin in the filter is worked out, they escape
with the steam and sediment on surrounding objects and surfaces. Though
these substances are harmless for people, in large quantities they may have
an unfavourable effect upon furniture.
The ion-exchange filter installed on the tank bottom removes calcium and
magnesium from tap water.
In the beginning of operation the ion-exchange filter may tint water with
the colour of tea. It does not affect the appliance safety or operation.
The ion-exchange filter is installed on the bottom of the water tank. If you
need to buy a new filter, apply to a shop assistant.
