Errors and faults

The device has been checked for proper functioning several

times during production. If malfunctions occur nonetheless,

check the device according to the following list.

The device does not start:

• Check the power connection.

• Check the power cable and mains plug for damage.

• Check the on-site fusing.

• Check whether the water tank indicator light is illuminated.

The water tank might be empty and need refilling.

• Wait for 10minutes before restarting the device. If the

device is not starting, have the electrics checked by a

specialist company or by Trotec.

The device is running, but there is no formation of mist:

• Check whether the water tank indicator light is illuminated.

The water tank might be empty and need refilling.

• Check the valve in the water tank lid. The valve must be

able to move freely. Clean the water tank if required.

• Check the float in the lower part of the device. The float

should be able to move freely.

• Check the air filter for dirt. Clean the air filter if required.

• Check the nebulizer intensity setting and increase it if

required.

• Check the nebulizer membrane in the lower part of the

device for dirt and clean it if required.

The water tank is full, but the device indicates an empty

water tank:

• Heavy deposits on the filter cartridge may prevent the

water from flowing from the water tank into the device.

This can occur if the device has been out of use for a long

time. Rinse the filter cartridge with clear water and, if

required, carefully clean the filter at the filter cartridge.

• Check the valve in the water tank lid. The valve must be

able to move freely. Clean the water tank if required.

Water is leaking:

• Check whether the device is set up in a stable and upright

position.

• Check the water level in the lower part of the device. The

water level might be too high and water is discharged via

the overflow.

• Check the valve in the water tank lid. The valve must be

able to move freely. Clean the water tank if required.

• Check the float in the lower part of the device. The float

should be able to move freely. It may block and cause

water to be discharged via the overflow.

• Check the device for leaks.

The water mist has a peculiar smell:

• The device is new. Remove and rinse the water tank. Let

the open water tank air for some hours.

• Check the water tank. There may be stale or dirty water in

the water tank. Rinse the water tank and fill it with clear

drinking water.

Condensate forms on the device:

• The air circulation in the room is insufficient. If necessary,

reduce the nebulizer intensity and provide better air

circulation (e.g. using a fan).

• The room's humidity level is quite high. This makes it

difficult for the mist to distribute and leads to water

condensing on the device. If necessary, reduce the

nebulizer intensity or switch off the device.

The device is loud or vibrates heavily:

• Check whether the device is set up in a stable and upright

position.

The device still does not operate correctly after these

checks:

Please contact the customer service. If necessary, bring the

device to an authorised specialist electrical company or to

Trotec for repair.
