3. APPOINTMENT OF THE DEVICE
A humidifier increases relative air humidity in a room and stabilizes its microclimate, allowing to avoid harmful conditions of low humidity. Comfortable conditions are achieved at relative air humidity of 40 to 60%. Insufficient air humidity results in dehumidification of mucous membranes which is the cause of decrease in immunity, head ache, cracking of lips, “sandpaper” in the eyes, also insufficient air humidity enables development of infection and causes respiratory illnesses, fatigue, increased eye fatigue and worsening of concentration, and has negative effect on pets and indoor plants, causes increased dust generation and electrostatic charging of synthetic fabrics.

6. FILLING THE WATER TANK
1. Remove the water tank nozzle and then the water tank from the base.
2. Turn the base upside down and unscrew the water tank cover counterclockwise.
3. Fill the tank with fresh filtered cold water.
4. Close the cover of the water tank, make sure the cover is tight, and there is the rubber ring inside it. Otherwise the air will enter the tank which can cause malfunction of the device.
5. Put back the water tank on the base, then put the nozzle on the tank.
IMPORTANT! For the operation of the device, it is better to use purified water from household water filter. It is necessary for the life time of the humidifier. With purified water there will be no white spots around the device.
White spots around the device are a salt of calcium and magnesium, which are part of ordinary tap water. When using unpurified water, they are discharged with steam and deposited on surrounding objects and surfaces. Although these substances are safe for people, in large quantities they can have harmful effects on furniture.
- Do not fill the tank with other liquids but filtered tap water. Different composition of liquids has harmful effect on internal parts of the device and causes malfunctions.
- Do not fill the unit or the water tank with such additives as essential oils, fragrances, cleaning agents, chemical medical drugs, warm water (above 40°), etc. Otherwise, the water tank and internal parts of the unit will be damaged and inoperable. Do not fill water directly into the internal parts of the unit or the atomizer.
- Water inside the unit may cause malfunctions of the unit.
- Do not hit or throw the water tank. It may get damaged resulting in water leaks. Do not use the unit in case if the water tank is heavily hit. Immediately contact the technical support service or the maintenance and repair station.
- Every day fill the tank with fresh filtered water and keep the unit clean.
7. OPERATION OF THE DEVICE
Switching on
Install the appliance vertically on a flat and dry surface, fill the tank with water then connect the device to the power line. Press the touch control button once, and steam will start coming from the atomizer. At the very beginning of operation, the atomizing level may appear unstable, which is caused by the temperature difference and water quality. It will take a short period time for this process to stabilize.
Adjusting steam outlet intensity
Adjusting steam outlet intensity is possible by pressing the touch control button. The device has the following steam intensity modes: 1/2/3.
Comfortable conditions are reached at 40 to 60% relative air humidity. You can yourself determine the comfortable humidity level or use a special device called a hygrometer (not included in the set), measuring the relative humidity level.
ATTENTION! If a large amount of condensate is generated on the upper part of the appliance when it is operating, then you need to decrease the steam outlet intensity by turning on/off and steam outlet intensity knob counterclockwise.
Automatic switching off when there is no water
When water level in the tank drops below minimal level, the ultrasonic membrane will automatically switch off and the red indicator will light up on the control panel. To continue operation of the appliance it is necessary to fill the tank with water according to «Filling the water tank>> paragraph, and then connect the appliance to the electric mains.
SLEEP mode
To activate SLEEP mode, hold the touch control button for 2 seconds. Backlight will turn off.
Aroma function
The device is equipped with an aroma capsule for aromatic oil, located next to the ventilation outlet, at the base of the device. When aromatic oil is added to the aroma capsule, air aromatization occurs. Aromatic oil is not included in delivery set.
ATTENTION! Do not overfill the aroma capsule with aromatic oil, the penetration of aromatic oil on the plastic elements of the device can lead to their failure and is considered by the manufacturer as not a warranty case.
Switching off
To turn off the device, press the touch control panel once.
