Setting-Up/Operation
1. Place Robert at the desired position on a flat surface. Connect the mains cable (3) to a
suitable plug socket.
2. Remove the water tank (5) by holding it by the handle and gently pulling it back. Screw off
the water tank lid (6) and fill the water tank with clean, cold tap water. Then screw the lid back onto
the water tank. Place the water tank on the water tray (2). The water tray now fills slowly with the
water from the water tank. Important: please do not transport Robert as long as he is filled with
water. The water could spill over.
3. To switch Robert on, press the On/Off switch (4). The current relative humidity is shown in
the display in % («Air Humidity»). The «No Water» indicator (14) lights up when there is not
enough water in the appliance. The speed level is set to the lowest speed and the desired air
humidity is set to continuous operation.
4. If the motion sensor does not detect any motion for 10 seconds, the illumination of the
buttons and the symbols goes out (only the current relative humidity «Air Humidity» will be
displayed in %). Activate the buttons by moving your hand over the display (9). Alternatively, the
display can also be activated by touching the lower part with your hand.
5. If no mode has been set, the desired air humidity can be adjusted (between 35-65% and
continuous operation «CO»): Push the «Air Humidity» button. The display will blink. You may
now select the desired air humidity in increments of 5% by repeatedly pressing the «Air Humidity»
button (the display will blink while settings are being adjusted). The selected value is saved if no
other adjustments are made after approx. 10 seconds. The display changes to the current measured
air humidity.
Info: Once the desired air humidity is reached, the appliance stops and the display blinks. The
current air humidity is then measured approx. every 30 minutes (the fan runs for 1-2 minutes).
Should the measured current air humidity fall below the set value, the appliance begins to humidify
again.
6. The humidification performance depends on the speed of the fan. If no specific mode has
been set, the speed level may be changed: Press the «Speed» button (if necessary, first activate the
display with a hand motion). The display will blink. Now select the speed level 1, 2, 3 or 4 (Turbo)
by repeatedly pressing the «Speed» button. The levels are displayed using horizontal bars (e.g. 1 bar
= level 1).
7. Robert is equipped with 3 different pre-programmed modes: «Auto Mode», «Night Mode»
and «Clean Mode». Press the «Mode» button (if necessary, first activate the display with a hand
motion). The display will blink. Select the mode by repeatedly pressing the «Mode» button:
«Auto Mode»: Robert automatically maintains the air humidity level at 45%. The lower the current
air humidity level is, the higher the speed level of the fan will automatically be set (e.g. under 30%
= level 3, from 31% to 40% = level 2, from 41% to 45% = level 1).
«Night Mode»: The display illumination is reduced to minimum and the fan speed is set on level 1.
The desired air humidity level and the fan speed can be adjusted manually.
«Clean Mode»: This mode is used in order to clean and descale the appliance. Here the evaporator
discs rotate but the fan does not run. Thus no air is blown into the room. After 20 minutes in
cleaning mode, the appliance stops and the «Clean Mode» display blinks (see «Cleaning» chapter).
8. You can use Robert to disperse fragrances in the room. It must be emphasised to please use
fragrances extremely sparingly because an excessive dosage can result in malfunctioning of and
damages to the appliance. In order to use fragrances, remove the water tank (5) and pull the

fragrance container (15) out of the appliance. Let the fragrance drip directly onto the cotton pad in
the fragrance container. Add a maximum of 1-2 drops of fragrance into the fragrance container.
Tip: In order to change the fragrance, pull the fragrance container out of the appliance, remove the
cotton pad and clean the container with soap. Now you may insert a new cotton pad (commercially
available) and add drops of the desired fragrance.
9. As soon as the «No Water» symbol (14) lights up, the appliance must be refilled with water.
To do this, remove the water tank (5) and fill it with clean, cold tap water. After replacing the water
tank, the appliance automatically resumes operation after a few seconds.
10. If you would like to refill the water during operation, you may remove the water tank and
refill it. The appliance will continue to operate using the water still in the appliance for at least 30
minutes. As long as the water tank is replaced within this period of time, the appliance can continue
its service without interruption.
Important information
Humidification with an air washer takes some time. An air washer works according to the evaporation
principle. In this process the air only absorbs as much water as it needs at the current temperature (self-
regulating humidification). This means that it could take several hours to achieve a measurable
humidification result. If you put the air washer into operation in a very dry environment, we recommend that
you set the appliance to continuous operation («Air Humidity») and the speed level to 3 or Turbo («Speed»)
in order to effectively increase the air humidity level. Here the size of the room and the ventilation intervals
also play a role. (Also see www.stadlerform.ch/faq).
Cleaning
Prior to any maintenance, cleaning and after each use, switch off the appliance and unplug the mains cable
(3) from the socket.
Attention: Never submerge the appliance in water (danger of short-circuit).
•For external cleaning, rub with a damp cloth and then dry thoroughly.
•For internal cleaning, remove the water tank (5) and then pull out the water tray (2) with the
evaporator discs (8) (grab underneath the tray).
•Rinse the water tray (2) and the evaporator discs (8) with clean water once per week, in order to
wash out the particles of dirt removed from the air.
•Clean the water tray (2), evaporator discs (8) and the water tank (5) thoroughly every 2 weeks with a
soft brush or sponge and warm water. If there are lime scale deposits in the water tray or water tank,
use a descaling solution diluted with water (for mixture ratio, see manufacturer’s instructions).
Subsequently rinse the tray and tank with tap water thoroughly.
•Descale the evaporator discs (8) approx. every 4 weeks, depending on the water hardness level. To
do so, first empty out any water remaining in the water tray (2). Then fill the water tray with a
descaling solution (mixture ratio of solution/water according to the manufacturer’s instructions) up to
2 cm below the edge of the tray (leave the evaporator discs in the tray). Now push the water tray
back into the appliance (the tank does not have to be inserted). Activate the buttons with a hand
motion over the display. Press the «Mode» button three times in order to start the cleaning mode.
The «Clean Mode» symbol lights up. Here the evaporator discs rotate but the fan does not run. Thus
no air is blown into the room. After 20 minutes in cleaning mode, the appliance stops and the «Clean
Mode» display blinks. The cleaning process may be run several times depending on the thickness of
the limescale deposits (also see Point 7 under «Setting-Up/Operation»). Once the cleaning process is
finished, switch the appliance off using the On/Off switch (4). Empty the water tray and clean it
thoroughly with tap water.
Ionic Silver Cube™
The Ionic Silver Cube (16) prevents the growth of germs and bacteria in the humidifier due to the
continuous release of silver ions. The use of the Ionic Silver Cube leads to a hygienic room climate. The

lifetime of the Ionic Silver Cube is around one year. We therefore recommend that you replace the Ionic
Silver Cube at the beginning of every humidifying season. The Ionic Silver Cube starts working as soon as it
comes into contact with water, and also works when the appliance is switched off.
Anticalc cartridge (optional accessory)
The anticalc cartridge (7) decreases the limescale in the water and thus reduces the decalcification intervals.
The cartridge has to be replaced every one to three months, depending on the water hardness (see table).
With a water hardness above 21 °dH, we recommend the use of the anticalc cartridge.
Important: Soak the anticalc cartridge in a water bath for 24 hours before the first use (not in the water
tank!). The resin has to absorb water to reach high performance.
The period of time that the cartridge is effective for depends on the hardness of the water. This can be tested
using the testing strips provided (strips are stuck to the reverse side of these instructions for use).
1. Dip the testing strips into the water for a second.
2. After around one minute, the results can be seen on the testing strips. Some of the green boxes change
colour into pink. The water hardness is shown by how many boxes turn pink. Example: If three boxes are
pink, then the water hardness is > 14° dH.
