3. Setup

Follow these steps for the initial setup of your BONECO U650 humidifier:

1. Unpack the Unit: Carefully remove all packaging materials and place the humidifier on a flat, stable, and water-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for optimal mist distribution.
2. Install Water Maintenance Accessories:
   • Hydro Cell: Place the Hydro Cell into the designated compartment in the water tank. The Hydro Cell helps keep the water fresh and clean.
   • Demineralization Cartridge: Screw the Demineralization Cartridge onto the cap of the water tank. This cartridge prevents the release of minerals and white dust into the air. It is recommended to soak the cartridge in water for 24 hours before first use.
3. Fill the Water Tank: Remove the water tank from the base. Unscrew the cap with the demineralization cartridge and fill the tank with clean, cool tap water. Avoid using hot water. Securely re-attach the cap and place the filled tank back onto the base.
4. Connect to Power: Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. The unit will enter standby mode.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your BONECO U650 humidifier. The unit provides helpful reminders for maintenance tasks.

1. Refilling Water: When the empty indicator illuminates, it's time to refill the water tank. Turn off the unit, remove the tank, and fill it as described in the Setup section.
2. Regular Cleaning: The cleaning reminder will indicate when the unit requires cleaning.
   • Base Cleaning: Regularly clean the water basin in the base unit to prevent mineral buildup and bacterial growth. Use a soft brush and a mild descaling agent if necessary. Rinse thoroughly.
   • Water Tank Cleaning: Clean the inside of the water tank periodically with a mild detergent and rinse well.
3. Hydro Cell Replacement: The Hydro Cell should be replaced every 1-2 months, depending on water quality and usage, to maintain its effectiveness in keeping water fresh.
4. Demineralization Cartridge Replacement: The Demineralization Cartridge typically needs replacement every 2-3 months, or when you notice an increase in white dust around the unit. The lifespan depends on water hardness.

Always unplug the humidifier before performing any cleaning or maintenance tasks.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your BONECO U650, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• No Mist Output:
  • Check if the water tank is empty. Refill if necessary.
  • Ensure the unit is properly plugged in and powered on.
  • Verify the water tank is correctly seated on the base.
  • Clean the ultrasonic membrane in the water basin. Mineral buildup can obstruct mist production.
• White Dust Around the Unit:
  • This indicates that the Demineralization Cartridge needs replacement.
  • Consider using distilled or demineralized water if white dust persists, especially in areas with very hard water.
• Unit Leaking Water:
  • Ensure the water tank cap is securely tightened.
  • Check for any cracks or damage to the water tank or base.
  • Verify the water tank is properly positioned on the base.
• Unusual Odor:
  • Clean the water tank and base thoroughly.
  • Replace the Hydro Cell.
  • Use fresh water daily.
