BEFORE USING
NB: When you unpack your humidifier, you may find water marks. This is normal
as each appliance is tested before sale.
1.Make sure the appliance is unplugged.
2.Place the appliance on a stable surface.
2.To fill the tank, turn upside down and remove the cap by rotating anticlockwise;
fill the tank with fresh clean water then close by rotating the cap clockwise and ti-
ghtening firmly.
3.Make sure the Teflon-coated evaporator element is clean and free from foreign bodies.
4.Position the tank correctly on the base.
5.Plug into the mains socket.
INSTRUCTIONS
Position the tank on the base and plug the appliance into the mains socket. The hu-
midifier is now ready for use.
1.Place the ON/OFF/reset selector (L) in the ON position and the humidistat (N) on
maximum (ON). The ON light (M) comes on.
The humidifier takes about three minutes to bring the water to the boil and emit
hot mist into the room.
2.When the required level of humidity has been reached, turn the humidistat anti-
clockwise until you hear a click and no further. The appliance will now keep the
room at the set level of humidity.

The humidistat can be set fro 10% to 80% relative humidity. You are recommen-
ded to keep the humidistat at between 40% and 50%.
When the humidity in the room is lower than the set value, the appliance produces
mist. When it reaches the set level, it goes off.
3.The cup for perfumes, aromatic substances and medicaments is located at the
centre of the mist discharge grill. To use, just add the aromatic substances. The
tank can be removed to facilitate washing. Never pour aromatic substances into
the water tank.
4.When the tank is empty and the water on the evaporator element has almost com-
pletely evaporated, the appliance goes off automatically. The "no water" light on
the tank flashes and "REFILL HOLD" appears on the display. For safety reasons,
the appliance will not operate until the tank has been refilled. To reset operation,
place the ON/OFF selector to the RESET position for a couple of seconds.Unplug
from the mains, remove the tank, clean following the instructions given in the rele-
vant paragraph and refill. Replace the full tank on the base, plug into the mains
and turn the appliance on again by pressing the ON/OFF button. Repeat the opera-
tions described in point 2.
The "no water" light goes off and after about three minutes the humidifier starts
producing warm mist again.
IMPORTANT: if you do not intend using the appliance for two or more days run-
ning, make sure the tank is completely empty and dry in order to prevent the for-
mation of algae and bacteria in the stagnant water.
CLEANING
By raising the humidity of dry air in the home, humidifiers help make living condi-
tions more comfortable. To obtain maximum benefit from this appliance and to
avoid using it inappropriately, follow the instructions below carefully.
In common with all electrical appliances, remember that it should be handled with
care while in operation.
Failure to respect basic rules of cleanliness could lead to the formation of microor-
ganisms in water left in the tank. The following cleaning operations should therefore
be performed regularly to maintain your humidifier working correctly and efficiently.
The importance of correct and constant cleaning of the appliance to avoid the forma-
tion of bacteria and algae cannot be emphasised enough.

DAILY MAINTENANCE
The humidifier brings water to the boil, sterilises it and produces clean warm mist.
All impurities are collected in the evaporation chamber. The evaporator element is
Teflon-coated to make cleaning the appliance as easy as possible. Never use metal
or sharp objects to clean the evaporator element. The Teflon could be damaged. Do
not use detergents, diesel, kerosene, benzene, glass or furniture cleaning fluids or
other solvents to clean the humidifier and its components.
1.Before cleaning, turn the humidifier off using the ON/OFF button and unplug from
the mains.
2.Remove the tank from the humidifier and empty;
3.Use the safety lock (E) to lock the mist duct (B) in place and subsequently remove
it.
4.Hold the base of the appliance with both hands and tilt it over a sink or basin to
empty all residual water from the base. Never place the base of the humidifier in
the sink or basin or directly under a tap.
5.Clean the tank and base carefully with a cloth. If you want to reuse the humidifier
straight away, refill the tank with fresh water and place it back on the base.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
To remove scale:
1.Repeat operations 1, 2 and 3 in the paragraph above.
2.Pour one cup of undiluted white vinegar into the evaporation chamber and tank.
Leave to work for about 20 minutes and clean all the internal walls with a soft bru-
sh. If there are still residues, leave the vinegar to act for a further 30 or more mi-
nutes. Use a cloth moistened with undiluted vinegar to eliminate scale from the
base of the humidifier.
3.Before starting to disinfect the tank, remove all traces of vinegar with warm water.
To disinfect the tank:
1.Fill the tank with two teaspoons of bleach and water.
2.Leave the solution to act for about 20 minutes, agitating the tank at intervals.
Make sure all surfaces are wetted by the solution;
3.Empty the tank after about 20 minutes and rinse well with running water to com-
pletely eliminate the smell of bleach;
4.If you want to use the humidifier again immediately, fill the tank and reposition it
on the base.
HOW TO STORE YOUR HUMIDIFIER

1.Clean, rinse and dry the humidifier carefully as described above;
NEVER leave water in the humidifier when you put it away for long periods.
The water could irreparably impair operation of the appliance.
