Dear Parents
Congratulations on deciding to purchase our
NUK Humidifier – a decision in favour of quality
and safety.
This humidifier helps improve the air in a child’s
room by ensuring that it is at a pleasant
humidity. This prevents excessively dry air
leading to your baby suffering from irritated
mucous membranes, dry, cracked skin, a dry,
sore throat and cracked lips.At the same time,
it also reduces the risk of flu, colds and some
fungal and bacterial infections, as humidification
stops your baby’s resistance being weakened by
excessively dry air.
We wish your baby a healthy development.
1. Important Information Before First Use
These operating instructions will help you use
your humidifier safely and economically.
Anyone setting up, operating, cleaning or
disposing of this appliance must have noted and
understood the complete contents of these
operating instructions.
For this reason, you should keep these
instructions somewhere safe so that they are
available whenever required.
If you ever sell or give away your appliance,
please pass on these operating instructions as
well, so that the next user can also use the
appliance safely.

3. Description of Appliance
3.1 Intended Purpose
This NUK Humidifier increases humidity indoors
and thus prevents the air becoming too dry.
This appliance may only be used in dry indoor
areas. Use outdoors or in damp areas is
prohibited.This appliance is intended for use in
private households and is not suitable for
commercial use.
Humidity is a measure of how much water
vapour there is in the air.
The quantity of water vapour the air can absorb
is highly dependent on temperature.The higher
the air temperature, the more water vapour
can be absorbed.
When the air is fully saturated (e.g. when it is
foggy or raining), in other words when it cannot
absorb any more water, we talk about a relative
humidity of 100%.
We feel best at a relative humidity of 40-55%.
A relative humidity of less than 30% is perceived as
too dry. The hygro-thermometer (moisture and
temperature measuring instrument) supplied enab-
les you to measure relative humidity at any time.

3.2 Scope of Supply
• 1 NUK Humidifier, complete
• 1 digital hygro-thermometer (moisture and
temperature measuring instrument)
• 1 set of operating instructions
3.3 Description of Function
This humidifier is electronically operated. High
frequency ultrasound at the atomizer breaks the
water inside the humidifier down into
minuscule droplets.The ventilation system gives
off these droplets into the ambient air in the
form of a microfine mist. Here the mist
evaporates and thus increases humidity. The
benefit of ultrasound atomization is that it is
very quiet in operation and will not disturb your
child's sleep.
In contrast to water evaporators, this appliance
also has a very low power consumption. The
water level sensor integrated in the appliance
ensures that the mist stops being sprayed
automatically when the water level is too low.
This automatic cut-out protects the atomizer
from overheating. However, the appliance stays
switched on and the fan continues to run.

it for the first time (see section 7. on
page 9).
Important: A new appliance may smell a
little if it is not cleaned beforehand.
4. Before switching the humidifier on, put it in
the room where it is to be operated for half
an hour.
This is intended to ensure that the
humidifier is at the same temperature as the
room, which will make it function more
accurately.
5. Place the appliance on a level, dry, non-slip
surface.
5.2 Hygro-thermometer (Moisture
andTemperature Measuring
Instrument)
Measuring range for humidity: 20% to 99%
Measuring range for temperature: –10°C to
+50°C or 14°F to 122°F.
Important: The hygro-thermometer must be
calibrated before being used for the first time.
Prolonged use in an overheated room with dry
air may likewise impair the sensitive parts of the
instrument, requiring it to be recalibrated.To do
this, wrap the appliance in a damp cloth for an
hour. This increases moisture to a maximum.
The instrument is recalibrated and operational
(again).

Estimados padres
Les agradecemos su elección por nuestro
humidificador NUK y, con ello, por la calidad y
la seguridad.
Este humidificador colabora a mejorar el aire en
la habitación de los niños, logrando con ello un
ambiente de humedad agradable del aire. De
esta manera impide que el aire demasiado seco
reseque excesivamente las mucosas de su bebé
provocando irritaciones, sequedad y grietas, la
garganta seca e irritada, así como los labios
agrietados. Al mismo tiempo con ello se
previene el riesgo de contraer una gripe o
resfriado, así como algunas infecciones por
hongos y bacterias, impidiendo con ello que las
defensas de su bebé se debiliten debido a un
aire demasiado seco.
Le deseamos un sano desarrollo de su bebé.
1. Notas importantes antes del primer uso
Estas instrucciones de uso le ayudarán a utilizar
su humidificador de forma segura y económica.
Toda persona que instale, maneje, limpie o
elimine este aparato, debe haber tomado
conocimiento y entendido todo el contenido de
estas instrucciones de uso.
Por ello, guarde bien estas instrucciones de uso,
para poder disponer de ellas en todo momento.
Si vende o regala su aparato, entregue con él
estas instrucciones de uso, para que el siguiente
propietario pueda utilizarlo también de forma
segura.

3. Descripción del aparato
3.1 Uso previsto
Con este humidificador NUK se incrementa la
humedad relativa del aire en los recintos
interiores y con ello se impide que el aire sea
demasiado seco.
Este aparato sólo debe utilizarse en recintos
interiores secos. No es permisible su uso a la
intemperie o en recintos húmedos.
Este aparato sólo es apropiado para el uso
doméstico privado y no para fines industriales.
La humedad del aire indica la cantidad de vapor
de agua presente en el aire.
La cantidad de vapor de agua que puede
absorber el aire, depende mucho de la
temperatura. Cuanto más elevada sea la
temperatura del aire, más vapor de agua podrá
absorber.
Cuando el aire está totalmente saturado (p.ej.
cuando hay niebla o llueve), y por lo tanto ya no
puede absorber más agua, se dice que tiene una
humedad relativa del 100 %.
Luftbefeuchter 1108 Seite 14 Mittwoch, 25. Februar 2009 10:21 10

15
Con una humedad relativa del aire del 40 - 55 %
es cuando nos encontramos más a gusto. Una
humedad relativa del aire inferior al 30 % se
percibe como demasiado seca. Con el
higrómetro-termómetro (medidor de humedad
y de temperatura) puede medir en todo
momento la humedad relativa del aire.
3.2 Piezas suministradas
• 1 humidificador NUK, completo
• 1 higrómetro-termómetro
(medidor de humedad y temperatura)
• 1 instrucciones de uso
3.3 Descripción del funcionamiento
Este humidificador funciona eléctricamente. El
agua que se encuentra en el aparato es dividida
en pequeñísimas gotitas en el nebulizador,
mediante un proceso de alta frecuencia de
ultrasonidos. Estas gotitas se lanzan en forma de
nebulización microfina a través del sistema de
ventilación al aire ambiental. Allí se evapora la
nebulización y, de esta manera, se incrementa la
humedad del aire. La ventaja de la nebulización
ultrasónica es su funcionamiento silencioso, de
manera que el sueño del niño no se ve
perturbado.
Al contrario que los evaporadores de agua, este
aparato tiene además un consumo muy bajo de
corriente. Cuando el nivel de agua es
demasiado bajo, el sensor del nivel del agua
integrado en el aparato se encarga de que se
desconecte automáticamente la nebulización.
Este sistema automático de desconexión
protege al nebulizador del sobrecalentamiento.
No obstante, el aparato continúa conectado y
el ventilador sigue funcionando.
3.4 Señalización en el aparato
