Congratulations on purchasing the 2055A Air Washer!
Did you know that excessively dry indoor air
• dries out mucus membranes and causes chapped lips
and stinging eyes?
• promotes infections and diseases of the respiratory
tract?
• leads to weariness, tiredness and poor concentration?
• is a burden on pets and house plants?
• promotes the formation of dust and increases the electrostatic charge of textiles made from synthetic fibers,
carpets and synthetic floors?
• damages furnishings made from wood, especially parquet floors?
• makes musical instruments go out of tune?
General
The indoor climate is generally pleasant when the relative
humidity is between 40 and 60%. Air humidification is especially sensible in winter, but does not replace the regular
airing of living spaces.
How it works
Your appliance
• washes and humidifies the air without using filter mats
• works quietly in two operation modes
• is manufactured from high-quality, long-life
components.
• has a large cleansing capacity through pre-ionization.
The individual dust particles are ionized (charged) and
stick to the humidifier discs.
Special humidifying discs rotate in a water bath inside the
unit; this cleanses the air passing over them of impurities
in a natural way – in the same way that air is washed by
the rain in nature.
The air humidification takes place according to the selfregulating principle of cold evaporation. The appliance
therefore generates ideal air humidity, without the need for
additional control units.
Unpacking
• Remove the appliance carefully from the packaging
(10 – 12). Place your hands underneath the product
to pull it out of the box. The top part of the unit is only
placed on the base; it is NOT attached.
• Remove the plastic bag from the unit (13).
• Remove all cardboard pieces from the disc pack (14).
• Check the details of the electrical supply on the rating
plate (15).
• Use the original packaging to store the appliance if you
do not use it throughout the year.

Filling the tank
en
Always unplug the unit before removing the water tank. Do
not operate the appliance when the water tank is empty!
Only fill the water tank with fresh, cold tap water. Use water additives at your own risk. We do
performance or damage.
Do not put the water tank under pressure, e.g. by filling with
carbonated mineral water. Do not add any essential oils or
fragrances to the water; the plastic material might become
discolored and damaged. Close cap tightly (19) to prevent
water from leaking out of the tank.
• Remove the water tank (16).
• Ensure that there are no foreign objects in the water

Use of fragrances
The base contains a special fragrance container (21). A
cotton ball soaked with fragrance can be placed in this
container. Place fragrances only in the container provided!
Do not pour fragrances in fragrance container directly! Use
with cotton ball only. Water additives (e.g. essential oils, fragrances, water conditioners) must NOT be used in the tank
or anywhere else in the appliance! Even a small amount
can damage the plastic or cause cracks. The material is
not suitable for the use of additives. One drop is enough
to damage the water tank and therefore render the unit
unusable. Appliances that are damaged by additives are
excluded from the warranty. The fragrance container is also
used as a tool for opening the rotary locks of the humidifying discs. To learn more about removing the discs, refer
to section «Cleaning the humidifying discs».

A) Rotary Dial
Connect the appliance to an outlet and turn rotary dial
A from position B (off) to position C or D as required. Position D is especially quiet (night mode). Position C (normal
mode) achieves maximum humidity output. The disc rotation speed remains constant with both mode selections.
The fan rotation speed increases with level II (C).
B) Switching on/off
If the rotary dial is in position B, the appliance is switched
off.
C) Normal mode
If you select position C, then normal mode is set, and the
appliance reaches maximum humidity output.
E) Operating light and Automatic Shut-Off
«Tank empty»
The green light (LED) (E) illuminates when the appliance is
switched on. The water level is easy to see thanks to the
transparent water tank. The red LED light on the appliance
also shows when the unit should be refilled with water. If
the water level falls below the minimum level, the appliance
automatically switches off. The red symbol (E) appears on
the display. When water is added, the red LED changes to
green and the appliance continues operating.
Warning: When lifting the upper part off the housing, the
appliance also switches off. In this case, the red light E
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.

Water quality maintenance
en
The Hydro Cell keeps humidifiers operating at their highest
level between recommended cleanings. Good for approximately one to two months, depending on the water quality,
the Hydro Cell ensures the humidifier’s functionality while
providing fresh humidification performance. It starts to
work as soon as it comes in to contact with water, even
if the unit is turned off. The Hydro Cell should be changed
every one to two months*. Look at picture 23 for the position of the Hydro Cell. Switch off the unit first. Contact
your local retailer or check our website www.boneco.us for
reorder information.
* Depending on the water quality.

Cleaning/maintenance
Switch the appliance off and remove the power
plug from the outlet before you clean the appliance (24).
• Regular cleaning is a pre-condition for hygienic,
trouble-free operation.
• The appliance can be unassembled for cleaning in a
few moves.
• Never submerge the entire unit in water (26).
• Empty and rinse the base once a week (27).
• The unit must be completely emptied and cleaned if
it has been filled with water for longer than a week
without being used.
Recommended cleaning intervals
The recommended cleaning intervals depend on the air and
water quality, as well as operating times. A thin film of lime
scale on the discs actually increases the humidity output!
• once to twice a year: upper part of housing and fan
• every 2 weeks: water tank and base
• every 4 weeks: humidifying discs
Cleaning the upper part of the housing
Remove the upper part of the unit (29) and wipe out thoroughly once to twice a year with a damp cleaning cloth
(30).
Cleaning the fan
The cover can be removed from the upper part of the unit
(31). Under this cover is the fan (32), which can be cleaned
with a damp cleaning cloth as required.

Cleaning the water tank and base
en
(every 2 weeks)
• Lift the water tank out of the unit, open the water tank
cap and clean the tank (33 – 35).
• Lift the upper part of the unit off the base (36).
• Use EZCal and EZCal PRO custom cleaning and descaling agents only to remove deposits from the water
base regularly (37). There is a sample of EZCal included
in the packaging of your humidifier. Instructions for
using are on the packet. Rotate the disc assembly a
few times by hand (37) to clean the mineral deposits
on the humidifying discs. Only use 1 packet for 32
oz of water. Do not change the ratio. Do NOT run the
unit when using EZCal and EZCal PRO. This can cause
damage to the product and voids the warranty. Thoroughly rinse the base with tap water after using EZCal
and EZCal PRO and make sure no EZCal and EZCal
PRO residues remains in the base.
• Empty the water base (38), remove the disc assembly
(39) and rinse (40).
• Remove deposits from the base using a plastic or
wooden brush (41).
Cleaning the humidifying discs
(every 4 weeks)
A thin film of lime scale on the discs actually increases
the humidity output! To clean, unscrew the individual humidifying discs from each other. Rotary locks (toothed wheels)
can be easily removed using the multifunctional fragrance
container (42).
Next, the discs can be washed individually (43 – 44). For
best results use EZCal and EZCal PRO custom cleaning
agents. Refer to section «Cleaning the water tank and base»
for more information of how to use EZCal and EZCal PRO.
• The toothed wheel can only be assembled in one
position.
After cleaning, reassemble the appliance in the reverse sequence. Note: rotary locks have two rest positions. Warning:
Do not overtighten!
