Features

Using preheating and evaporative humidification technology, the fan operates at high speed. The air is preheated using a PTC heating element, so that the inhaled air is heated before it reaches the evaporative filter. This leads to rapid evaporation of the water on the filter, stimulated by an increased flow of warm air. The result is a significant increase in humidity, which provides effective humidification without the formation of mist.

Preparations before use

For optimal humidification, the humidifier should be used in temperatures between 10℃-40℃, with a relative humidity lower than 80%RH, and with clean water with a temperature below 40℃. To improve the performance of the humidifier, no objects should be placed around the air inlet and outlet when using it. Keep a distance of at least 20 cm from the sides of the air inlets. A good distance from walls, furniture, electrical appliances, etc. is important to prevent them from being damaged by the moisture coming out of the top.

Water refill

⚠️ Warning!

Always unplug the appliance before adding water when filling to the top. Stop filling well in advance before the water in the water tank overflows, to avoid moisture damage to the product, moisture damage to the surface and generally unnecessary spillage.

Method 1 :
Open the filler door and pour water directly into the water tank using a liter measure or a flower pot.

Method 2 :
Lift out the water tank and fill the tank with water from the tap.
