you have chosen a BONECO appliance to ensure that the
basic need for healthy room air is satisfied for you and the
people around you.

be cleaned with warm water and dish detergent.
Then thoroughly rinse the water base under running

SAVING SETTINGS
The BONECO U250 saves the last-used settings when it
is switched off. However, if the appliance is disconnected
from the power outlet for a few seconds, it will start in the
operating mode.
“AUTO” OPERATING MODE
After switching on, the appliance is in operating
mode. The desired relative humidity level (rH) is pre-set to
50% in operating mode. The appliance selects the
suitable performance level Low “L” / Medium “M” / High
“H” to reach the rH value of 50% as soon as possible.
In operating mode, the rH can be modified at any
time using the button. If the performance level is mo-
dified using the button, the operating mode
switches off automatically, and the appliance is in manual
operating mode.
The heater can be switched on or off without the appli-
ance exiting operating mode. operating mode also
remains active when setting the timer.
To return to operating mode, tap the symbol
once.
CONTROLLING HUMIDITY
The humidity can be set between 30% and 70%. In the
“Co” setting (for “Continuous”), the ultrasonic 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 display
starts flashing.
2. While the display is flashing, tap the symbol again
until the desired humidity is set.
The value is applied after a few seconds. The display
stops flashing.
CONTROLLING OUTPUT
1. Tap the symbol multiple times until the desired
level appears on the display.
The symbol on the display indicates which of the three
levels (low/medium/high) has been selected:
HUMIDITY AND ULTRASONIC

FRAGRANCE CONTAINER
BASICS
Commercially available fragrances and essential oils can
be inserted into the fragrance container on the rear side.
Never mix any additives into the water base itself,
since doing so can decrease the performance of the
BONECO appliance and even cause damage. This
damage is not covered by the warranty.
USE
1. Press down on the fragrance container to take out the
drawer.
2. Sprinkle the felt insert in the drawer with the fragrance
of your choice.
3. Reinsert the fragrance container.
The fragrance container can be cleaned in the dish-
washer. The temperature may not exceed 50°C.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
With time and use, the performance of the A250 decreases
and scale builds up on the inner parts of the BONECO
U250. Stagnant water can also impair cleanliness and
lead to unpleasant odors. This means regular mainte-
nance and cleaning is necessary to ensure clean and
unimpaired operation.
Recommended cleaning and maintenance intervals vary
depending on air and water quality, and operating time.
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the exterior.
Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet
before cleaning.
Interval Task
Daily Check the water level; add water if necessary
After 1 week without operation Empty and clean the BONECO U250
Every 2 weeks Clean the water base and water tank
Every 2–6 months Replace A250

DESCALING THE APPLIANCE
1. Disconnect the BONECO U250 from the power outlet.
2. Drain the water base.
3. Mix the EZCal with approx. 0.5 liters (17 oz) of water
and pour the mixture into the humidification chamber.
4. Wait 30 minutes to allow the solution to take effect.
5. Clean the BONECO U250 with a dish brush.
DESCALING AND CLEANING
ON DESCALING
If stubborn limescale deposits form at the bottom of the
BONECO U250, the appliance must also be descaled in
addition to the cleaning. For this process, use the provi-
ded EZ-Cal “CalcOff” descaling agent. You can obtain a
refill of the agent from your BONECO specialist dealer.
The appliance must always be unplugged from the
power outlet before draining it. Failure to do so can
result in electric shock and pose the risk of severe
or fatal injury!
Do not let water get into the ventilation opening! This
will damage the appliance.

18
en
CLEANING THE MEMBRANE
Never clean the membrane using sharp objects or
aggressive cleaning agents; doing so can damage
the BONECO U250 and voids the warranty!
Mineral deposits on the membrane can be removed using
the yellow cleaning brush attached inside the base of the
BONECO U250.

REPLACING THE A250
The A250 must be replaced every 2 to 6 months. In cases
of very hard water, it may have to be replaced sooner.
White dust around the appliance is a sure indication that
the A250 is fully worn out.
Please observe the accompanying manual for starting up
the A250.
The used A250 can be disposed of with your regular
household waste.
REPLACEMENT
You can obtain replacements from your BONECO spe-
cialist dealer or our online store at www.boneco.us.
PREPARING THE A250
Please observe the accompanying manual for starting up
the A250.
ON WATER HARDNESS
The BONECO U250 is supplied with the A250. The gra-
nulate contained in it filters the lime out of the tap water
so that it is not released into the room air. Hard tap water
accelerates saturation of the granulate, making it neces-
sary to replace the A250 earlier.
Dispose of the saturated A250 with your regular
household waste.
White dust around the appliance is a sure indication that
the A250 is fully worn out.
