Congratulations on your purchase of the BONECO U700.
This high-performance ultrasonic humidifier keeps the
humidity at a comfortable level at all times.
The BONECO U700 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 the winter leads to skin that cracks and itches.
It makes your eyes and throat feel dry while significantly
affecting physical comfort. Not only does this affect
adults, it is especially true for infants, small children and
even pets. Dry mucous membranes in the winter also
make us more prone to colds and other infections.
The BONECO 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 BONECO 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 BONECO 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).

ing the A250 AQUA PRO.

SAVE SETTINGS
The BONECO U700 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 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 BONECO U700 is equipped with a heater that can be
turned on and off. It warms the outgoing mist up to ap-
proximately 35 °C (95 °F), 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 BONECO U700 is switched off in a two-step process
(see page 26).
1. Briefly tap the button once to switch off the blue
mood light. The appliance will remain running.
2. Tap the button again to switch the BONECO U700
into standby mode. Now the air will no longer be hu-
midified 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.
AROMA COMPARTMENT
Commercially available scented aromatic substances for
humidifiers can be added to the aroma compartment on
the back of the BONECO U700.
1. Briefly press the aroma compartment to unlock the
drawer.
Never add the aromatic substance directly into the
water tank or water base; doing so will damage the
BONECO U700 and void the warranty!

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
With time and use, the performance of the Ionic Silver
Stick®decreases and scale builds up on the inner parts of
the BONECO U700. Stagnant water can also impair clean-
liness 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.
Interval Task
Daily Check the water level; add water if necessary
After 3 days without operation Empty and clean the BONECO U700
Every 2 weeks Clean the water base and water tank
Every 2-6 months Replace the A250 AQUA PRO
Yearly Replace the Ionic Silver Stick®

CLEANING FUNCTION
The BONECO U700 is equipped with a descaling function.
All you need is a packet of BONECO CalcOff. One of these
packets is included with the appliance. You can obtain
more CalcOff bags from your BONECO specialist dealer or
our online store at www.shop.boneco.com.
The BONECO U700 uses this symbol to indicate that des-
caling is needed:
PROCEDURE
During descaling, the water is heated by the heater for 5
minutes and then pauses for 25 minutes each time. This
process repeats until the cleaning time has elapsed. The
cleaning time can be set between 1 and 4 hours. As a rule:
The longer the cleaning process, the better the results.
DESCALING THE APPLIANCE
1. Switch off the BONECO U700.
2. Empty the water base and the water tank.
3. Remove the Ionic Silver Stick®and the A250 AQUA PRO.
4. Mix 1 packet of CalcOff with 1 liter (a quarter gallon) of
water and pour the mixture into the water tank.
5. Place the water tank back onto the base of the unit.
6. Press the symbol for 3 seconds. Descaling starts.
7. Tap the symbol repeatedly to set the desired clean-
ing time. The cleaning time increases by one-hour
increments (max. 4 hours).
The symbol for the cleaning mode flashes on the display.
The BONECO U700 switches off automatically once the
cleaning time has elapsed.
8. Empty the water base and fill the water tank with tap
water.
The cleaning symbol goes out. The BONECO U700 is
ready for use again.
REMOVING LIMESCALE RESIDUE
Stubborn limescale residue on the membrane can be re-
moved using the yellow brush stored inside the BONECO
U700.
Never clean the membrane using sharp objects or
aggressive cleaning agents; doing so can damage
the BONECO U700 and voids the warranty!
