en INTRODUCTION
DEAR CUSTOMER,
Congratulations on your purchase of the BONECO H680.
Its hybrid design cleans and humidifies room air in one
step. Its smart control system keeps operating noise
level to a minimum, even allowing you to use the BONECO
H680 in a bedroom or baby's room.
The BONECO H680 is designed for convenient, fully
automated operation. However, you can adjust all of its
features according to your preferences and requirements.
This manual shows you how you can create your own
comfortable climate.
RELIEF FROM ALLERGIES
The BONECO H680 is equipped with a triple filter system
that rids the air of odors as well as dust, pollen and con-
taminants. The HYBRID filter also effectively alleviates
many forms of discomfort caused by allergies, such as
hay fever or allergic reactions to dust mites and house-
hold dust.
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 babies, small children and even
pets. Dry mucous membranes in winter also make us
more prone to colds and other infections.
The BONECO H680 makes these problems a distant
memory. Its intelligent automatic controls always keep
the air clean and the humidity at the ideal level, even in
large rooms with an area of up to 100 square meters
(1080 square feet).
Regardless of whether it is summer or winter: You
will not want to give up your newly gained comfort.

START-UP
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before using the device, carefully read through the
enclosed safety notes and operating manual and
keep them for later use.
FIRST CLEANING
Production-related residue on the water tray and water
tank may lead to foaming, and thereby to water escaping.
For this reason, before the first use, both elements must
be cleaned with warm water and dishwashing detergent
(see Figure 5 on the right side). Thoroughly rinse the parts
under running water.

AIR QUALITY INDICATOR
After being switched on, the BONECO H680 carries out
an initial air measurement and the symbol flashes.
After measuring the air, the display shows the current air
quality (see figure below).
The cleaner the air is, the more segments are shown in
white.
OPERATING MODE AT INITIAL START-UP
The BONECO H680 uses the “Hybrid” operating mode
when being switched on for the first time: This operating
mode cleans the air while humidifying it at the same time.
The humidity can be regulated at will (see page 20).
Air purification works automatically and without user
interaction.
The fan level is controlled by the electronics and adapts
to the environment to ensure the most efficient cleaning
and/or humidification possible.
Fan noise may be clearly audible at first; it will decrease
after a few minutes, however, once the humidity gets
closer to the desired value.
USING THE “HYBRID” OPERATING MODE
1. Switch the appliance on by tapping the button once.
The particle sensor automatically begins measuring the
amount of dirt in the air. The appliance starts the hu-
midifying process automatically if humidity is below 50%.
BASIC SETTINGS
The BONECO H680 saves all of the settings if you switch
off the appliance using the button.
The basic settings described here (“Hybrid” operating
mode, “AUTO” comfort mode, etc.) can be restored at
any time. Disconnect the appliance from the power outlet
for about 10 seconds by unplugging the power cord from
the power outlet.
THE “HYBRID” OPERATING MODE (AIR HUMIDIFICATION AND AIR PURIFICATION)

18
en
“AIR HUMIDIFICATION” OPERATING MODE
Use of the HYBRID filter is optional in the “Air humidifica-
tion” operating mode.
1. Press the button until just the indicator for humidity
and the fan level are shown.
2. To switch back to the “Hybrid” operating mode, press
the button until the air purifier and humidifier are
both shown as active at the same time.
The BONECO H680 can also be used without a HYBRID
filter in the “Air humidification” operating mode. When
switching to the “Hybrid” or “Air purification” operating
mode, the following symbol flashes on the display if a
HYBRID filter is not inserted:
“AIR PURIFICATION” OPERATING MODE
The air is not humidified in the “Air purification” operat-
ing mode.
1. Press the button until just the indicator for air qual-
ity and the fan level are shown.
2. To switch back to the “Hybrid” operating mode, press
the button until the air purifier and humidifier are
both shown as active at the same time.
The BONECO H680 can also be used without water in
the “Air purification” operating mode. When switching to
the “Hybrid” or “Air humidification” operating mode, the
following symbol flashes on the display if the water tank
is empty:
ONLY AIR HUMIDIFICATION / ONLY AIR PURIFICATION

COMFORT MODES
There are three different comfort modes available in each
of the three “Hybrid”, “Air purification” and “Air humidifi-
cation” operating modes: , and .
SWITCHING THE COMFORT MODE
1. Switch between the , and comfort
modes by either:
• Pressing the button on the remote control repeat-
edly
• Pressing the button on the keypad on the appliance
repeatedly
“AUTO” COMFORT MODE
In comfort mode, the BONECO H680 uses all of the
fan levels between 1 and 6. The preset humidity is 50%.
“SLEEP” COMFORT MODE
In comfort mode, the BONECO H680 can even be
used in a bedroom at night. The appliance automatically
operates at the lowest fan level of 1 to keep operating
noise level to a minimum. The preset humidity is 45%.
“BABY” COMFORT MODE
The comfort mode uses fan level 1 through 4 and
increases the humidity to 60 %. This value is ideal for
use in a nursery or baby's room since higher humidity
is recommended for babies and small children. The fan
also operates quietly enough that it will not trigger a baby
monitor.
SELECTING THE VARIOUS COMFORT MODES

20
en MANUALLY REGULATING HUMIDITY AND FAN LEVEL
PERFECT HUMIDITY
The recommended humidity level is between 40% and
60%. The default setting is 50%. The indicator for current
humidity should ideally be within the “OK” range:
The humidity you set then stays saved if you switch off
the appliance.
CONTROLLING HUMIDITY
1. Press the and buttons to set the humidity as de-
sired.
The notice is shown on the display. Once you
stop pressing the arrow keys, the notice switches to
after a few seconds. Now the display now
shows the current humidity again.
MAXIMUM HUMIDIFICATION
Press the button until the notice “Co” (for “Continu-
ous”) is displayed. Now the humidifier operates indepen-
dently of the measured humidity.
REGULATING THE FAN LEVEL
1. Press the button once. The indicator for the fan
level flashes.
2. Press the and buttons to adjust the fan level.
3. To switch back to the comfort mode, press the
button on the appliance until the notice is shown
on the display. Alternatively, you can also use the
button on the remote control.
POWER MODE (P)
The maximum power mode (P) can only be selected man-
ually. We recommend using it when room air has to be
cleaned and/or humidified in the shortest possible time.
To activate the maximum power level, press the button
repeatedly until the fan level “P” is shown in the indicator
(see figure in the left column).
