Errors and faults

The device has been checked for proper functioning several times during production. If malfunctions occur nonetheless, check the device according to the following list.
The device does not start:
• Check the power connection.
• Check the power cable and mains plug for damages.
• Check the on-site fusing.
• Check whether the water tank indicator light is illuminated. The water tank might be empty and need refilling.
• Wait for 10minutes before restarting the device. If the device is not starting, have the electrics checked by a specialist company or by Trotec.
The device is running, but there is no formation of mist:
• Check whether the water tank indicator light is illuminated. The water tank might be empty and need refilling.
• Check the valve in the water tank lid. The valve must be able to move freely. If necessary, clean the water tank.
• Check the float in the lower part of the device. The float should be able to move freely.
• Check the air filter for dirt. If necessary, clean the air filter.
• Check the nebulizer membrane in the lower part of the device for dirt and clean it if required.
The water tank is full, but the device indicates an empty water tank:
• Heavy deposits on the filter cartridge may prevent the water from flowing from the water tank into the device. This can occur if the device has been out of use for a long time. Rinse the filter cartridge with clear water and, if required, carefully clean the filter at the filter cartridge.
• Check the valve in the water tank lid. The valve must be able to move freely. If necessary, clean the water tank.
Water is leaking:
• Check whether the device is set up in a stable and upright position.
• Check the water level in the lower part of the device. The water level might be too high and water is discharged via the overflow.
• Check the valve in the water tank lid. The valve must be able to move freely. If necessary, clean the water tank.
• Check the float in the lower part of the device. The float should be able to move freely. It may block and cause water to be discharged via the overflow.
• Check the device for leaks.
The water mist has a peculiar smell:
• The device is new. Remove and rinse the water tank. Let the open water tank air for some hours.
• Check the water tank. There may be stale or dirty water in the water tank. Rinse the water tank and fill it with fresh drinking water.
Condensate forms on the device:
• The air circulation in the room is insufficient. If necessary, reduce the nebulizer intensity and provide better air circulation (e.g. using a fan).
• The room's humidity level is quite high. This makes it difficult for the mist to distribute and leads to water condensing on the device. If necessary, reduce the nebulizer intensity or switch off the device.
The device is loud or vibrates heavily:
• Check whether the device is set up in a stable and upright position.
Notice
Wait for at least 3 minutes after maintenance and repair work. Only then switch the device back on.
Your device still does not operate correctly after these checks?
Please contact the customer service. If necessary, bring the device to an authorized specialist electrical company or to Trotec for repair.
