Key Features:
- Natural Odor Neutralization: Utilizes pure stainless steel to neutralize odors without chemicals or masking agents.
- Wide Coverage: Effective in rooms up to 645 square feet.
- Simple Operation: Requires only water for activation.
- Durable Design: Made in Germany, ensuring quality and longevity.
Setup Instructions
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the stainless steel disc under warm water using a degreasing dish soap. This step is crucial to remove any manufacturing residues and ensure optimal performance.
- Positioning: Place the white bowl on a stable, flat surface in the desired room.
- Water Filling: Fill the white bowl with water. Ensure that the stainless steel disc is partially submerged in the water, but do not completely submerge the disc. The interaction of the stainless steel with both water and air is essential for the odor neutralization process.

Operating Instructions
The Zielonka Lufterfrischer operates continuously once set up. The stainless steel disc, in contact with water and oxygen, acts as a catalyst to neutralize odor molecules. This process breaks down the "smell chain," effectively eliminating unpleasant scents from the air.
For optimal performance, ensure the device is placed in an area with good air circulation. The effectiveness of the air freshener is directly related to the continuous interaction of the stainless steel with water and the surrounding air.

Maintenance
- Water Replacement: Regularly check the water level in the bowl. As water evaporates, replenish it as necessary to ensure the stainless steel disc remains partially submerged. The frequency of water replacement will depend on environmental factors such as room temperature and humidity.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the white bowl and the stainless steel disc to prevent mineral buildup from water. Use mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the stainless steel surface.
- Storage: If storing the unit for an extended period, empty the water, clean both components thoroughly, and allow them to dry completely before storing in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Odor not neutralizing effectively. | Insufficient water level; disc not in contact with water and air; disc is dirty; room size exceeds coverage area. | Ensure water level is adequate and disc is partially submerged. Clean the disc with degreasing soap. Verify room size is within 645 sq ft. |
| Water evaporates too quickly. | High room temperature or low humidity. | Replenish water more frequently. Consider placing the unit in a cooler area if possible. |
