Air-O-Swiss 2055A - Manual (Page 2)

RECOMMENDED TO CLEAN WITH EZCal
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Switch off the appliance and
unplug it from the socket before
cleaning it. Clean the water tank
and the base regularly. Use water
only, no detergents.
For best results use EZCal custom
cleaning agent for AIR-O-SWISS
products to remove deposits from
the water base regularly. Do NOT
run the unit when using EZCal. This
can cause damage to the product
and voids the warranty.
Do not submerge the main body in
water! The cleaning indicator still ap-
pears on the display after cleaning.
To reset hold down the two hygrostat
buttons until the clean light stops
flashing. Thoroughly rinse the base
with tap water and make sure no
EZCal residue remains in the base!
What is EZCal?
EZCal from AIR-O-SWISS is an easy and safe
cleaning and descaling agent recommended for
all humidifiers. It cleans mineral build-up in the
water base.
There is a sample of EZCal included in the packaging of your humidifier!
Only use 1 packet for 32oz of water. Do not change the ratio. Thoroughly rinse the base with tap water and make
sure no EZCal residue remains in the base. Instructions for use are on the packet. Please note: EZCal from AIR-O-
SWISS is the only recommended cleaning and descaling solution. Do NOT use any other cleaning solutions since
it can damage the product. Any use of cleaning solutions apart from EZCal will void the warranty.
EZCal descaling agent is available at selected retail stores
and online at www.airoswiss.net.

If there is no water left in my water tank, for how
many hours will the water in the base last?
• An exact answer cannot be given for this as there are many
factors that depend on how long the water will last for. It
all depends on the size of the room, if it is very dry, among
other things to know how quickly water will evaporate into
the air. If you notice that there is no water left in the water
tank, it is always a good idea to refill the tank to have extra
water available.
Red LED light is illuminated – what does it mean?
• The red LED light on the appliance shows you when the unit
should be refilled with water. If the water level falls below
the minimum level, the appliance automatically switches off.
The red LED appears on the display. When water is added,
the red LED changes to green and the appliance continues
operating.
Please note: When lifting the upper part off the housing, the
appliance also switches off. In this case, the red LED will
also appear on the display. Only when the upper part is
replaced on the base does the red LED (E) disappear and
the appliance resumes operation.
I fill the water tank, and when I place it back on
the unit all of the water goes into the base. Why is
that?
• Water is needed in the base of the unit for the removal of
particles from the air, and for the humidification of the air.
The first time the tank is filled up and placed on the unit, all
of the water will go into the base of the unit. The water tank
acts as a reserve, and may be filled up a second time to
have extra water available.
Is it ok to put my humidifying discs in the dishwas-
her?
• The manufacturer of this appliance does NOT recommend
it. The discs can only be placed in a dishwasher where
the temperature is no greater than 131°F / 55 ºC. If the
temperature is any hotter than this, the discs will melt. Place
the plates in a sink filled with warm water and white vinegar
or EZCal and either let them soak or spin the plates in this
solution. Or, add white vinegar or EZCal to the water in the
base of the unit and let the unit run for an hour to clean the
plates. It is good to have calcium deposits built up on the
plates as it will capture more particles from the air and add
more moisture to the air.

Humidity level is not changing or does not reach the
desired humidity level
• If the water tank needs refilling more than once per day,
the unit is working properly and the climatic condition in the
room has an influence on the humidity.
Reasons for low humidity level:
• air circulation is very high (air is fully exchanged several
times per day – the humidifier needs to starts its work from
scratch)
• insulation of home (see air circulation)
• open space with high ceilings (not only the footage of
the room counts but also the height) – high-rise buildings
require more humidification.
• open windows – works similar to air circulation (if it is very
cold outside don’t open the window more than 2 times per
day for 3 minutes)
• big difference between outside temperature and inside
temperature – the colder the air the less moisture it is capa-
ble to hold and the more the air is heated up the lower is
the percentage of relative humidity (= the amount of water
vapor in the air, compared to the amount the air could hold
if it was totally saturated)
• position of the unit – if it is placed close to a door, window
or air vent. This increases the air circulation.
Can this unit be used all year round?
• Yes, the unit can be used all year round. The unit produces
relative humidity which means that the air will only take as
much moisture as it can hold. The unit will not over-humidify
the air.
ACCESSORIES
What is the Ionic Silver Stick (ISS) and how long
is it good for?
• The Ionic Silver Stick ® (ISS) keeps the water free of micro-
bial growth. The ISS uses the anti-microbial effect of silver to
prevent the growth of microbes in the water base. It begins
to function as soon as it comes into contact with water, even
if the unit is switched off. The Ionic Silver Stick should be
changed every year.
Placement of the Ionic Silver Stick
• Please see the quick set up guide for more instructions.
Replacement reminder
• In each ISS box and on all the new products there is an
ISS lifecycle indicator. Check the box of the month when
starting to use the ISS and write the year on the line in-
dicated. Exchange it after one year.
