SCOPE OF DELIVERY
AIROSWISS U700 “EZcal” descaling powder

cartridge
Congratulations on your purchase of the AIROSWISS
U700. This high-performance ultrasonic humidifier keeps
the humidity at a comfortable level at all times.
The AIROSWISS U700 is designed for convenient, fully
automated operation. However, you can adjust all of its
features according to your preferences and requirements.
This manual shows you how you can create your own
comfortable climate.
VALUABLE INFORMATION ABOUT HUMIDITY
The right humidity is very important for our health. Dry
room air in winter leads to skin that cracks and itches. It
makes your eyes and throat feel dry while significantly af-
fecting physical comfort. Not only does this affect adults,
it is especially true for infants, small children and even
pets. Dry mucous membranes in winter also make us
more prone to colds and other infections.
The AIROSWISS U700 makes these problems a distant
memory. Its intelligent automatic controls always keep
the humidity at the ideal level, even in large rooms with an
area of up to 80 square meters (860 square feet).
You will not want to give up your newly gained com-
fort.

THE RIGHT LOCATION
The AIROSWISS U700 releases more than half a liter of
water into the air per hour. This makes it important to set
up the appliance in the right location.
Do not place the AIROSWISS U700 directly on the
floor, since the moisture from the mist can damage
floor surfaces such as parquet or delicate carpeting.
• Make sure that the appliance stands about 30 centime-
ters (one foot) away from the closest wall.
• Do not direct the mist toward the wall, plants, furniture
or other objects in order to prevent water condensation
from damaging them. Maintain a distance of at least
50cm (20 inches).

en PREPARATION OF THE DEMINERALISATION CARTRIDGE
DEMINERALISATION CARTRIDGE PREPARATION
The AIROSWISS U700 is supplied with a A7531 deminer-
alisation cartridge. The granulate it contains has to soak
for 24 hours before being used in operation in order to be
at its most effective.
1. Unscrew the cartridge out of the appliance.
2. Place the cartridge with cover into a typical household
container filled with cold tap water and let it sit for 24
hours. The cartridge must be fully immersed in the
water.
3. Place the cartridge into the AIROSWISS U700.
4. Continue with the instructions on page 11.
REPLACING THE DEMINERALISATION CARTRIDGE
The cartridge has to be replaced every 2 to 3 months.
In cases of very hard water, it may have to be replaced
sooner. White dust around the appliance is a sure indica-
tion that the cartridge has run its course. You can obtain
replacements from your AIROSWISS specialist dealer or
our online store at www.airoswiss.net
1. Soak the new cartridge for 24 hours as outlined on the
left.
2. Remove the cover from the old cartridge and dispose
of it with your regular household waste.
3. Screw the cover onto the new, freshly soaked
cartridge.
4. Place the cartridge in the AIROSWISS U700.

SAVE SETTINGS
The AIROSWISS U700 saves the last-used settings when
it is switched off. However, if the appliance is discon-
nected from the power supply for a few seconds, it will
start in the operating mode.
AUTO MODE
In mode the humidification is controlled automati-
cally and the humidity is set to 50%. As soon as the hu-
midity or the humidifier is manually adjusted, however,
the appliance leaves mode.
To return to mode, tap the symbol once.
The heater can be switched on or off without the appli-
ance leaving mode. mode also remains ac-
tive when setting the timer.
CONTROLLING HUMIDITY
The humidity can be set between 30% and 70%. In the
“Co” setting (for “Continuous”), the humidifier runs re-
gardless of the measured humidity. This means it does
not switch off until the tank is empty or the appliance is
switched off.
1. Tap the symbol. The current humidity indicator
starts flashing.
2. While the indicator is flashing, tap the symbol again,
until the desired humidity is set.
The value is applied after a few seconds. The indicator
stops flashing.
REGULATE THE OUTPUT
1. Tap the symbol multiple times, until the desired
level appears on the display.
The symbol on the display shows which of the three levels
(low/medium/high) has been selected:

SWITCHING THE HEATER ON AND OFF
The AIROSWISS U700 is equipped with a heater that can
be turned on and off. It warms the outgoing mist up to ap-
proximately 95 °F (35 °C), so that the room temperature
stays at a comfortable level.
It takes a few minutes until the heater reaches its full
output.
1. Tap the symbol once to switch the heater on or off.
SWITCHING OFF THE MOOD LIGHT
The AIROSWISS U700 is switched off in a two-step pro-
cess (see page 11).
1. Briefly tap the button once to switch off the blue
mood light. The appliance will keep running, however.
2. Tap the button again to switch the AIROSWISS
U700 into standby mode. Now the air will no longer be
humidified and the display will turn off.
In dark environments (such as a bedroom at night),
the display's brightness is automatically reduced. This
means just turning off the mood light is enough to ensure
a good night's sleep undisturbed.
FRAGRANCE TRAY
Commercially available scented aromatic substances for
humidifiers can be added to the fragrance tray on the
back of the AIROSWISS U700.
1. Briefly press the fragrance tray to unlock the drawer.
Never add the aromatic substance directly into the
water tank or water base; doing so will damage the
AIROSWISS U700 and void the warranty!

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
With time and use, the performance of the Hydro Cell de-
creases and scale builds up inside the AIROSWISS U700.
Stagnant water can also impair cleanliness and lead to
unpleasant odors. This means regular maintenance and
cleaning is necessary to ensure clean and unimpaired
operation.
Recommended cleaning and maintenance intervals vary
depending on air and water quality, and length of opera-
tion.
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the exterior.
Always unplug the unit from the power outlet before
cleaning.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Interval Task
Daily Check the water level; add water if necessary
After 1 week without operation Empty and clean the AIROSWISS U700
Every 2 weeks Clean the water base and the water tank
Every 2 months Replace the Hydro Cell

CLEANING FUNCTION
The AIROSWISS U700 is equipped with a descaling func-
tion. All you need is a bag of “AIROSWISS EZcal”. One of
these bags is included with the appliance. You can obtain
more EZcal bags from your AIROSWISS specialist dealer
or our online store at www.airoswiss.net.
The AIROSWISS U700 uses this symbol to indicate that
descaling is needed:
PROCEDURE
During descaling, the humidifier runs for 5seconds and
then pauses for 10 minutes. This process repeats until the
cleaning time has elapsed. The cleaning time can be set
between 1 and 9 hours. As a rule: The longer the cleaning
process, the better the results.
DESCALING THE APPLIANCE
1. Empty the water base and the water tank.
2. Remove the Hydro Cell.
3. Mix 1 bag of EZcal with 1 liter (a quarter gallon) of
water and pour the mixture into the water base.
4. Switch off the AIROSWISS U700.
5. Press the symbol for 3 seconds. Descaling starts.
6. Tap the symbol repeatedly to set the desired clean-
ing time. The cleaning time increases by one-hour
increments (max. 9 hours).
The symbol for the cleaning mode flashes on the display.
The AIROSWISS U700 switches off automatically once
the cleaning time has elapsed.
7. Empty the water base and fill the water tank with tap
water.
The cleaning symbol goes out. The AIROSWISS U700 is
ready for use again.
REMOVING LIMESCALE RESIDUE
Stubborn limescale residue on the membrane can be
removed using the yellow brush stored inside the AIRO-
SWISS U700.
Never clean the membrane using sharp objects or
aggressive cleaning agents; doing so can damage
the AIROSWISS U700 and voids the warranty!

REPLACING THE HYDRO CELL
HOW IT WORKS
The AIROSWISS Hydro Cell activates as soon as it comes
into contact with water. Its activated carbon technology
filters heavy metals, impurities, chemicals and pesticides
from tap water. It also reduces odor emissions.
Optimum filtering is guaranteed only if the Hydro Cell is
replaced every two months.
The used Hydro Cell can be thrown out with your
household waste.
PREPARATION
1. Remove the protective foil from the Hydro Cell.
2. Rinse the new Hydro Cell for 30 seconds under cold tap
water.
3. Put the new Hydro Cell into the water tank of the U700.
REPLACEMENTS
One Hydro Cell is included with the U700. You can obtain
replacements from your AIROSWISS specialist dealer or
our online store at www.airoswiss.net.
