PLACEMENT OF THE HUMIDIFIER AND FILLING UP THE WATER TANK
1. Always place the humidifier on an even, dry and stable surface at a minimum distance of:
– 60 cm from the floor;
– 30 cm from walls or sides of furniture and at a sufficient distance from curtains or drapes;
– 100 cm from electrical and electronic devices or materials sensitive to moisture to prevent their
damage by the effects of increased humidity.
2. Check that the humidifier is turned off and disconnected from the el. power socket. Lift the water
tank A2 off the base unit Aqa. Turn it upside down and anticlockwise unscrew the plug A3 of the
filling opening of the water tank.
B
3. Fill the water tank A2 with clean cold tap water. After filling up the water tank A2, properly screw
in the plug A3 clockwise. Turn the water tank A2 upside down with the plug A3 facing downwards
and place it back on to the base unit Aqa so that both parts fit into each other properly. When the
water tank A2 is placed on the base unit Aqa, water will start flowing into the water holder A9.
C
Attention:
Fill the water tank A2 with water that has a max. temperature of 40 °C. Do not fill it up with
water that is hotter. The water tank A2 has a maximum capacity of 2.2 litres of water.
If you need to move the humidifier, be especially careful not to spill the water contained in the
water holder A9.

USING THE HUMIDIFIER
1. Check that the humidifier is correctly assembled. Connect the power cord to an el. power socket.
The indicator light A5 will be lit red. Turn the control dial A6 clockwise to turn on the humidifier.
After turning on the humidifier, the indicator light A5 will be lit green. Set the required steam
output. Turn the control dial A6 clockwise to increase steam output and turn it anticlockwise to
reduce steam output. The humidifier will start producing cold steam within a few moments. Ensure
that during operation that the steam is not directed at furniture or items sensitive to moisture.
Attention:
If the humidifier was transported at temperatures below the freezing point, first put it into
room temperature and wait approx. 30 minutes before turning it on.
Use the humidifier at an ambient temperature in the range of 5 to 40 °C. In the event that the
ambient temperature falls below 0 °C, turn the humidifier off and remove the water inside the
water tank A2 and the water holder A9, to prevent it from being damaged.
Never lift the water tank A2 out of the base unit Aqa or touch the nebulizer A0 when the
humidifier is running.
2. You can increase or decrease the steam output at any time by turning the control dial A6. If you
fill the tank A2 all the way to the edge, the expected operating time is approximately 7 hours with
the steam output set to maximum intensity.
3. If water in the water holder A9 starts running out, the indicator light A5 will start flashing. When the
water level falls below a certain level, the humidifier will automatically stop producing steam and the
indicator light A5 will turn off. This is a safety function to prevent the nebulizer A0 from being damaged.
If necessary, fill up the water according to the instructions in point 2 and 3 in chapter Placement of
the humidifier and filling up the water tank. Then you can start the humidifier again.
4. To turn off the humidifier, turn the control dial A6 anticlockwise until you hear a click. The indicator
light A5 will be lit red. Disconnect the humidifier from the el. power socket and clean it out according
to the instructions contained in the chapter Cleaning and maintenance.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Before cleaning the humidifier, turn it off and disconnect it from the el. power socket.
• Please adhere to the following instructions relating to the cleaning and maintenance of the
humidifier. Otherwise its performance may be negatively affected and undesirable microorganisms
may multiply inside the humidifier.
Clean after every use
• Take the water tank A2 out of the base unit Aqa and take it to the sink. Turn it upside down and
screw out the plug A3. Remove any remaining water from the water tank A2 and then rinse it
out with clean water. Dry the surface of the water tank A2 with a fine wiping cloth and screw in
the plug A3.
• Remove the water from the water holder A9 and wipe it dry using a fine clean cloth.
Thorough cleaning (once per week)
• Remove water from the water tank A2 and the water holder A9.
• Pour approximately 100 ml of vinegar into the water holder A9 and allow it to act for 15 minutes.
Using a brush with soft bristles, remove the limescale deposits in the water holder A9 and the
nebulizer A0. Then clean out all the remaining limescale and vinegar using a cloth dampened in
clean water and wipe dry.
