Foreword
Congratulations on your choice of the Ultrasonic
AIR­O­SWISS 7131!
Did you know that dry room air:
• Causes the membranes in your respiratory system to
dry out, and also causes chapped lips and stinging
eyes?
• Encourages infections and illnesses of 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, carpets
and plastic flooring?
• Damages furnishings made of wood and parquet?
• Detunes musical instruments?
General information
A comfortable atmosphere indoors is reached with a re­
lative humidity level between 40 and 60%. Your humidi­
fier controls automatically the humidity level according
to desired setting. If the air is too dry, the humidifier will
automatically switch on. As soon as the desired humidity
level is reached, it will switch off.
Unpacking
• Carefully remove the humidifier from the box.
• Remove the plastic bag from the humidifier.
• Observe the information given on the rating plate about
the voltage.
• Use the original packaging for storing the appliance if
you do not use the humidifier all year round.

Description of the appliance Setting up
Finding the ideal location for your unit
• Do not place the humidifier directly next to a heating
element or on a floor with floor heating. The moisture
of the mist can damage the floor surface (6) (see Sa­
fety Instructions).
• The unit should be placed in an elevated position (7),
e.g. on a table, chest, etc.
• The mist outlet must not be pointed directly at
plants or other objects (10). Keep distance of at least
20 inches (50cm).
• Soak the demineralization cartridge in the water tank
approx. 24 hours before using it. The resin has to
absorb water to reach high performance.
• On average the demineralization cartridge should
be replaced every 2 – 3 months depending on your
water hardness. Some areas may need to replace the
cartridge sooner, some may last longer. See «Replace­
ment of the demineralization cartridge».
• Read the instructions under «Filling the Tank» for
adding water in the humidifier (12 and 13).
• Place the water tank and then the cover onto the base.
• Insert the plug into the socket and switch on the
appliance using the on/off switch (15).
• About 10 to 15 minutes after having been switched on
the device will reach its full power.
• Make sure that the cable is not pinched anywhere
(9). Do not operate the humidifier if the cable is dama­
ged (2).
