Information about the device

Description of the device

The device functions as a humidifier, aroma diffuser and air cleaner.
The hygrostat-controlled room air humidification by natural cold evaporation ensures a pleasant room climate and air quality improvement.
The device is equipped with an integrated scented oil tank and diffuser for optional room air aromatization.
An evaporation filter with special honeycomb structure ensures an optimum humidity level of 40 to 60%. The filter further prevents lime and other air pollutants from being emitted to the room air.
As additional equipment option, a SecoSan® ion reservoir keeps the water demonstrably free from germs.
The device comes with different operating modes as well as a night mode enabling ultra-silent operation at bedtime.
The device switches off automatically when the water tank is empty.
The functioning of the two devices B24E and B25E is identical, they merely differ in appearance or to be precise in colour: The device B24E is copper-coloured and the device B25E is white.
