Important safety instructions

• Prior to using the appliance, read through the in­structions for complete use and retain in a safe place
for later reference.

• WARNING – Only use the Ultrasonic indoors and within
the specified technical data. Improper use can be
hazardous for the health and lead to critical injury.

• Connect the unit only to alternating current with
voltage according to the rating label.

• Children cannot recognize the hazards associated
with the usage of electrical appliances. For this reason,
always supervise children when they are near the
humidifier (image 1).

• Never use the appliance if there is any damage to the
appliance or cable (2), after malfunction, after the
appliance has been dropped (3) or damaged in any
other way.

• Repairs of electrical appliances are only to be made by
qualified service engineers (4). Improper repair work
can cause considerable danger to the user.

• Place the humidifier 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 prior to
evaporating, the flooring surface can become damaged
(6). We do not accept any liability for damages in the
case of incorrect placement of the unit.

• The unit should be placed in an elevated position (7),
e.g. on a table, chest, etc.

• Place appliance where it is not easily knocked over (8).

• Always unplug when not in use.

• Only operate the humidifier when it is completely
assembled.

• ALWAYS unplug before removing/filling/emptying the
water tank, before cleaning/maintaining, assembling/
dismantling of individual parts and before moving the
appliance.

• Do not touch the water in the base during operation
because of high frequency vibrations in the water.

• Do not run power cords under carpets, and do not co­ver with throw rugs. Arrange cord so that it will not be
tripped over.

• Never pull the plug from the outlet by the cable or with
wet hands.

• Do not use the appliance where combustible gases or
vapors are present.

• Do not expose the appliance to rain, or use near water,
in a bathroom, laundry area or other damp location.

• This unit must be used in its upright position.

• Do not allow foreign objects to enter ventilation or
exhaust opening as this may cause electric shock or
damage to the appliance. Do not block air outlets or
intakes.

• Do not pour water into the mist outlet of the appliance.

• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce risk of shock, this plug is
intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT
attempt to defeat this safety feature.

• A loose fit between the plug and the AC outlet
(receptacle) may cause overheating and a distortion
of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace
loose or worn receptacles.

• Do not sit, stand or place any heavy objects on the
appliance.

• Do not submerge the main body in water or other
liquids.

• Disconnect power supply before servicing.

• Persons who are not familiar with the instructions
for use, as well as children and persons under the
influence of medication, alcohol, or drugs are not
permitted to operate the appliance, or are only per­mitted to operate it under supervision.

• The use of water additives, such as ethereal/essential
oils, fragrances, eucalyptus, water conditioners etc.,
damages the tank material and as a consequence
the whole unit. Any use of such additives will void the
manufacturer’s warranty.

• Remark: Neither humans nor animals can hear the high
frequency vibrations.

PLEASE READ AND SAVE ALL THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Foreword

Congratulations on your choice of the Ultrasonic
AIR-O-SWISS 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 re­lative humidity level between 40 and 60%. Your humidi­fier 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 Sa­fety 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 «Replace­ment 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 dama­ged (2).
