INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the BONECO U300.
This high-performance humidifier keeps the humidity at
a comfortable level at all times. No longer will you have
to contend with itchy eyes, dry skin and dry mucous
membranes. This helps make you and your family less
susceptible to colds and other infectious diseases.
You will not want to give up your newly gained com-
fort.
INTRODUCTION
A250
Please refer to the enclosed manual for putting the A250
into operation.
ON WATER HARDNESS
The BONECO U300 is supplied with an A250. The granu-
late 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 so that the A250
must be replaced earlier.
Dispose of the saturated A250 with your regular house-
hold waste.
White dust around the appliance is a sure indication that
the A250 has run its course. You can obtain replacements
from your BONECO specialist dealer or our online store at
www.shop.boneco.com

WATER LEVEL
The LED lighting on the switch indicates the operating
status and water level.
• Blue: The appliance is switched on and in operation. A
sufficient amount of water is in the tank.
• Red: The appliance is switched on, but the water tank
is empty. Switch off the appliance or refill the tank with
fresh water.
• No display: The appliance is switched off or discon-
nected from the power outlet.
FRAGRANCE CONTAINER
Commercially available fragrances can be inserted into
the fragrance container on the rear side.
1. Press down on the fragrance container to unlock the
drawer.
2. Sprinkle the cotton wadding in the drawer with the
fragrance of your choice.
Never add the fragrance directly to the water tank;
doing so will damage the BONECO U300 and void the
warranty!
FUNCTIONS AND INDICATORS
THE RIGHT LOCATION
Do not place the BONECO U300 directly on the floor
or on sensitive surfaces, 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).

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
With increasing time and use, the performance of the
A250 and the A7017 Ionic Silver Stick®decreases. The
inside of the BONECO U300 becomes coated with limes-
cale. Stagnant water can also impair cleanliness and lead
to unpleasant odors.
This means regular maintenance and cleaning is neces-
sary to ensure clean and unimpaired operation.
Always unplug the unit from the power outlet before
cleaning. Failure to do so can result in electric shock
and pose the risk of severe or fatal injury!
CLEANING AGENT
Clean the housing of the BONECO U300 with a soft cloth.
Use warm tap water with a small amount of dishwashing
detergent.
Interval* Task
Daily Check the water level; add water if necessary
After 1 week without operation Empty and clean the BONECO U300
Every 2 weeks Clean and descale the water tank
Every 2 to 6 months Replacing the A250
Yearly Replacing the A7017 Ionic Silver Stick®
NOTES ON CARE
* Effective time intervals vary depending on air and water quality and the length of operation.
For this reason, the information here should be viewed as a recommendation.

CLEANING AND DESCALING
DESCALING
If stubborn limescale deposits form at the bottom of the
BONECO U300, the appliance must also be descaled in
addition to the cleaning. For this process, use the pro-
vided “CalcOff” descaling agent. You can get replace-
ment parts at your BONECO specialist dealer or at the
online store under www.shop.boneco.com.
1. Disconnect the BONECO U300 from the power outlet.
The unit 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!
2. Empty the water tank.
Tip the long side of the BONECO U300 towards the
sink (with the viewing window facing down). This
prevents water from getting into the air outlet and
damaging the unit.
3. Remove the A250 and the A7017 Ionic Silver Stick®.
4. Mix 1 bag of CalcOff with 1 liter of water and pour
the mixture into the water tank, one half to the left
and right each.
5. Wait 30 minutes to allow the solution to take effect.
6. Clean the BONECO U300 with a dish brush.
7. Rinse the inside of the water tank with fresh tap
water.
8. Reinsert the A7017 Ionic Silver Stick®and the A250.

REMOVING MINERAL DEPOSITS
Mineral deposits on the membrane can be removed using
the yellow cleaning brush attached to the cover of the
BONECO U300.
Never clean the membrane using sharp objects or
aggressive cleaning agents; doing so can damage
the BONECO U300 and voids the warranty!

REPLACING THE A7017 IONIC SILVER STICK®
The A7017 Ionic Silver Stick®prevents the growth of bac-
teria in water, making a vital contribution to health and
cleanliness. The A7017 Ionic Silver Stick®is subject to
wear and has to be replaced regularly.
1. Disconnect the BONECO U300 from the power out-
let.

outlet before draining it. Failure to do so can result in
electric shock and pose the risk of severe or fatal
injury!
2. Empty the water tank.
Tip the long side of the BONECO U300 towards the
sink (with the viewing window facing down). This
prevents water from getting into the air outlet and
