Product description

Product description
The product is used for raising humidity in interior spaces.
The control unit 3uses ultrasonic sounds to atomise the water filled in the water
tank 2into the finest drop particles and then the vapour discharge channel 7
releases them into the ambient air as vapour or mist through the vapour discharge
opening 6in the lid 1. Neither humans nor animals can hear the high frequency
of the ultrasonic sounds used.
You can also add essential oil to the essential oil tray 4depending on your personal
preferences. The released vapour absorbs the essential oil through the essential oil
pad 5and distributes it in the ambient air.
The control unit’s bottom illumination 8can be switched on for an eye-catching
visual effect. The bottom illumination features LEDs that light up blue when switched
on.
The product is mains-operated. The mains cord and mains plug 9are used to con-
nect to the mains.

Refilling with water
The built-in safety mechanism automatically stops the humidification
process when there is no water in the water tank.
The Power touch key flashes red and vapour is no longer released from
the vapour discharge opening.
1. To use the product again, pull the mains plug 9out of the socket and add water
to the water tank (see ‘Adding water’ chapter).

Filling the essential oil tray
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
The product can be damaged if you fill the essential oil tray with water.
− Do not fill the essential oil tray with water.
Essential oil can be put in the essential oil tray. The released vapour
absorbs the essential oil through the essential oil pad and distributes
it in the ambient air. The amount of essential oil to be used depends on
the type of oil and your personal preferences. If you are not sure, add a
little less essential oil to the essential oil tray.
1. Remove the lid 1from the water tank 2(seeFig.2).
2. Remove the essential oil pad 5.
3. Add essential oil into the essential oil tray 4.
4. Put the essential oil pad in the essential oil tray.
Make sure that the essential oil pad can absorb the essential oil and that the
essential oil does not spill out of the essential oil tray and leak.
5. Place the essential oil tray with the essential oil pad on top of the water tank so
that the opening is positioned on the vapour discharge channel 7.
If you do not want to use essential oil, remove the tray and store it in a cool place.
