Do not use the appliance in the presence of other electric
equipment such as computers or precision instruments. The
humidity or “white dust” contained in the mist may cause the
appliances to malfunction.
In the event of an anomaly, switch the appliance off and remove
the plug immediately. Do not dismantle, repair or modify this
product freely. In the event of malfunctions, contact the technical
assistance centre directly.
Do not immerse the cord, plug or any other element of the
appliance in water or other liquids.
Do not touch the plug with wet hands.
Do not inhale the mist discharged from the nozzle.
Do not use acidic or basic solvents for cleaning the interior of the
appliance: the residues may hamper its efficient operation.
Do not operate the appliance on unstable surfaces, as the water
flowing out of the appliance may wet the floor or cause
malfunctions. Do not place the appliance on a high or sloping
surface, as it may fall as a result of vibrations or accidental
knocks. Placing the appliance on a sloping surface may cause the
humidifier’s water level control device to malfunction, thereby
causing an interruption in operation or loss of water.
Do not expose the humidifier to direct sunlight or place it above or
adjacent to an air conditioner: this may cause warping, loss of
colour or anomalies during operation.
Do not place the appliance on furniture or supports with poor heat
resistance: this may cause warping or fading of the support due to
overheating.
Do not place the appliance in environments characterised by
strong magnetic fields: this may cause anomalies during

V 10/16
Do not place the appliance on or close to furniture or curtains. The
mist may wet the furniture or curtains causing them to fade or
deform. Moreover, the “white dust” included in the mist may alter
the surfaces of furniture: therefore, the mist jet should not be
directed towards furniture.
Do not operate the appliance in close proximity to bathtubs,
showers, washbasins or pools.
Fill the water tank with clean water on a daily basis. Remove any
residual water in the tank after every use. Clean the water tank
and nebuliser every one or two weeks and keep them clean. Do
not add any aromatic fragrances to the water in the tank.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains supply if the water tank
is empty or if the appliance is upside-down: this will cause the
nebuliser to malfunction.
Do not move the appliance during operation as water leakages or
malfunctions may result.
During winter, the water in the tank may freeze and cause the
appliance to malfunction. Remove the water from the tank.
Carry out maintenance on the appliance by regularly and
thoroughly cleaning the tank and nebuliser. Continuous operation
of the appliance with dirt residues may lead to faults and
malfunctions.
The internal ultrasonic nebuliser is highly sensitive. Do not touch it
with fingers or rub it with metal accessories to avoid reducing mist
emission.
Do not use hot water to avoid damaging the parts that generate
mist.
WARNING:
THE ON/OFF SWITCH IS NOT THE ONLY MEANS TO DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY.
ALWAYS PULL OUT THE PLUG FROM THE SOCKET IN THE EVENT OF MAINTENANCE
OPERATIONS, WHEN MOVING THE APPLIANCE OR WHEN THE LATTER IS NOT USED.

When there is no more water in the tank, the humidifier will cease operating and the warning light (17) will turn red, to
indicate the need to fill the tank in order to continue operation.
To restore appliance operation, add water by following the previously mentioned procedure.
Use clean water every time the appliance is used in order to guarantee a longer life-span and increased effectiveness
of the humidifier.
The humidifier will turn off automatically if the tank is removed or if ther water tank is empty.
WARNING!!
It is normal for water to accumulate on the bottom of the appliance, as water in the tank passes through to the
appliance’s base in order to initiate the ultrasonic humidification process.
Be careful when removing the water tank for filling/emptying or cleaning operations, as the water accumulated
on the bottom may drip from the tank. Dry with a soft cloth the tank in order to avoid wetting floor and furniture.
WARNING!!
Use always the humidifier with a temperature between 5°C and 40°C. Relative humidity should be lower than
80%.
Always fill the water tank exclusively with tap water, without adding any aromatic fragrances or essences.
WARNING!!
After using the appliance for a certain period of time, limescale deposits may build up in the water tank and
nebuliser. It is advisable to clean the water tank and nebuliser regularly with the brush supplied.
Do not leave water in the water tank when the appliance is not in use.
In order to ensure constantly efficient operation, the water in the tank should be changed everyday.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF THE EXTERNAL SURFACE
WARNING!!
Always remove the plug from the socket before cleaning the appliance, or electric shocks and malfunctions may
occur. Use a damp and soft cloth to clean the humidifier’s exterior surface.
WARNING!!
Do not wet the appliance or immerse it in water to avoid electric shocks.
Do not use solvents, petrol, xylene, talcum powder and brushes: these products may damage the surface or
alter the casing colour.
1. Unscrew the plug on the bottom of the tank by turning it anti-clockwise to eliminate the residual water.
2. Clean the water tank and relative plug using clean water. Clean the water tank plug carefully, without applying
force, so as to avoid water leakages from the plug itself. Clean the water tank once or twice a week.
WARNING!!
Avoid heavy knocks to the water tank as this may cause water leakages.
Interrupt humidifier operation immediately in the event of leakages and contact the technical assistance service directly.
CLEANING THE FILTER

REPLACING THE IONIC EXCHANGE FILTER
Attention
Inside the humidifier there is a removable ionic exchange
filter that can remove calcium and magnesium salts
normally contained in water, as these may turn into “white
dust” and deposit on furniture, objects and floors.
For this reason, it is important to replace this filter
regularly, twice a year and more often with water rich of
magnesium and calcium salts.
Therefore, it is important to monitor the build-up of
limescale deposits.
The ionic exchange filter is installed on the bottom of
the water tank. To replace the filter, remove the plug.
Install the new filter by rotating it clockwise, as shown in
the picture and put the plug back in place.
1. Ion exchange filter.
2. Water tank plug.
Clean the deposits on the nebuliser using the brush supplied with the humidifier then wipe with a damp cloth.
WARNING!!
Do not use metal brushes, metal blades, abrasive brushes or talcum powder to clean the nebuliser surface.
These products may deform the nebuliser or cause abrasions, thereby leading to reduced mist emission and
other malfunctions.
STORAGE AFTER USE
1. Ensure that no residual water is left in the tank and inside the appliance.
2. Leave the tank and appliance to dry naturally and completely before storing the product.
3. Place the water tank and appliance in a plastic bag then in the original box and store in a cool, dry place.
WARNING!!
The humidifier may fail to function correctly if stored without being fully dried. Ensure that the humidifier is completely dry
before storing it away
