Congratulations on your purchase of the BONECO U350.
This high-performance ultrasonic humidifier keeps the
humidity at a comfortable level at all times.
The BONECO U350 is designed for convenient, fully au-
tomated operation. However, you can adjust all of its fea-
tures 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 BONECO U350 makes these problems a distant me-
mory. Its intelligent automatic controls always keep the
humidity at the ideal level, even in large rooms with an
area of up to 60 square meters (650 square feet).
You will not want to give up your newly
gained comfort.

Please observe the accompanying instructions for
starting the A250.
ON WATER HARDNESS
The BONECO U350 is supplied with an 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 so that the A250
must be replaced earlier.
Dispose of the saturated A250 with your regular
household 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.us

en THE RIGHT LOCATIONSTARTING UP AND SWITCHING OFF
THE RIGHT LOCATION
The BONECO U350 releases more than half a liter (17 oz.)
of water into the air per hour. This makes it important to
set up the appliance in the right location.
Do not place the BONECO U350 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 unit stands about 1 feet (30 cm)
away from the closest wall.
• The unit should be placed in an elevated position, e.g.
on a table, chest of drawers, etc.
• 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
20 inches (50 cm).

entirely.

THE RIGHT LOCATION
SAVE SETTINGS
The BONECO U350 saves the last-used settings when it
is switched off. However, if the appliance is disconnected
from the power supply for a few seconds, it will start in
the operating mode.
“AUTO” COMFORT MODE
After the unit is switched on, it is in -Mode.
The desired relative humidity (rH) is preset to
50%. The unit chooses the appropriate output le-
vel Low “L” / Medium “M” / High “H”, in order to
attain the value of 50% rH as quickly as possible.
In -Mode, the rH can be changed at any time by
using button . If the output level is changed by using
button , the -Mode turns off and the unit is ope-
rated manually.
The heater can be switched on or off without the ap-
pliance leaving mode. mode also remains
active when setting the timer.
To return to 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 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.
REGULATING PERFORMANCE
1. Tap the symbol multiple times until the desired le-
vel appears on the display.
The symbol on the display indicates which of the three
levels (low/medium/high) has been selected:
HUMIDITY AND ULTRASONIC

SWITCHING THE HEATER ON AND OFF
The BONECO U350 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 on or off the heater.
FRAGRANCE CONTAINER
Commercially available scented aromatic substances for
humidifiers can be added to the fragrance container on
the back of the BONECO U350.
Never add the aromatic substance directly into the
water tank or water base; doing so will damage the
BONECO U350 and void the warranty!
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.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
With time and use, the performance of the A250 decreases
and scale builds up on the inner parts of the BONECO
U350. 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 unit 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 U350
Every 2 weeks Clean the water base and water tank
Every 2-6 months Replacing the A250

CLEANING AND DESCALING
DESCALING
If stubborn limescale deposits form at the bottom of the
BONECO U350, the appliance must also be descaled in
addition to the cleaning. For this process, use the provi-
ded “EZCal” descaling agent. You can get replacement
parts at your BONECO specialist dealer or at the online
store under www.shop.boneco.us
1. Disconnect the BONECO U350 from the power out-
let.
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 U350 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.
4. Mix 1 bag of EZCal with 32 oz. (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. Rinse the water tank with tap water. Remove remai-
ning lime residue, if any, using a scrub brush.
7. Rinse the inside of the water tank with fresh tap wa-
ter.
8. Reinsert the A250.
