Congratulations on choosing the Ultrasonic

Did you know that dry room air:
• Dries out the mucous membranes, and also causes
chapped lips and stinging eyes?
• Encourages infections and illnesses of the respiratory
system?
• Causes weariness, tiredness and poor concentration?
• Stresses household pets and house plants?
• Encourages the formation of dust and the electrostatic
charging of textiles made of synthetic fibers, as well as
carpets and plastic flooring?
• Damages wooden furniture and especially parquet
floors?
• Causes musical instruments to go out of tune?
General information
A comfortable indoor atmosphere is achieved at a relative
humidity of between 40 and 60%. Your appliance automa-
tically controls the humidity level according to your chosen
setting. If the air is too dry, the unit will automatically switch
on. As soon as the desired humidity level is reached, it will
automatically switch off.
Safety instructions
• Read the operating instructions carefully before using
the appliance and keep them in a safe place for later
reference.
• Connect the unit only to an AC supply with a voltage
that agrees with the rating label.
• Only use the appliance indoors and within the para-
meters stated in the technical specifications. Using the
appliance for a purpose for which it is not intended
could pose a serious hazard to health and life.
• Children cannot recognize the hazards associated with
the usage of electrical appliances. For this reason,
always supervise children when they are in the vicinity
of the appliance (image 1).
• Persons who are unfamiliar with the operating ins-
tructions, as well as children and persons under the
influence of medication, alcohol or drugs are not per-
mitted to operate the appliance, or are only permitted
to operate it under supervision.
• Never use the appliance if there is any damage to the
appliance or cable (2), after malfunction has occurred,
after the appliance has been dropped (3) or damaged
in any other way.
• Only operate the appliance when it is completely as-
sembled.
• Repairs to electrical appliances may only be carried out
by qualified service engineers (4). Improper repair work
can pose a considerable hazard to the user.
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains power before
filling/emptying the water tank, before cleaning, before
assembling/dismantling of individual parts and before
moving the appliance.
• Do not reach inside the nebuliser space during opera-
tion. The high frequency oscillation causes the memb-
rane to become hot.
• Never pull the plug from the mains socket by the cable
or with wet hands.
• Always place the appliance on a dry, level surface (5).
• Do not place the appliance directly on the floor or next
to heating. If the mist comes in contact with the floor
before it has fully evaporated, the surface could be da-
maged (6). We do not accept any liability for damages
due to the incorrect placement of the unit.
• The unit should be placed in an elevated position (7),
e.g. on a table, chest, etc.
• Do not pour water into the mist outlet of the appliance.
• Do not immerge the main body in water or other li-
quids.
• Position the appliance where it cannot be easily kno-
cked over (8).
• Always disconnect from the mains power when not in
use.
• Do not run the power cord under a carpet or other
objects. Position the appliance so that you will not trip
over the cord.
• Do not use the appliance in areas where combustible
materials, gases or vapours are present.
• Do not expose the appliance to rain, and do not use it
in damp locations.
• Do not insert foreign objects in the device.
• Do not block the air intake or mist outlet.
• Do not sit, stand or place any heavy objects on the
appliance.
• The use of fragances, such as essential oils, water
conditioners and aromas will damage your appliance!
Appliances that are damaged by such additives will not
be covered by the manufacturer‘s warranty.
• The high frequency vibrations cannot be heard by hu-
mans or animals, and are completely safe.
