Setting up / operation
1. If the air humidifier Fred has been placed in the desired place: Connect the
power cord (2) to the socket in your household. Remove the steam tube
(7) and lift off the cover (8). Fill the water tank (9) with water (make sure
to hold inlet opening slightly up) – screw on the cover properly and check
whether the cover is tight. Reinsert the water tank in the air humidifier,
screw on the cover and insert the steam tube.
2. Place the appliance in the room. Take care not to place it on a floor which
might be damaged by water, and that there are no appliances or furniture
sensitive to dampness close to it.
3. Switch on Fred using the On/Off switch (4) and select the desired output
(5) (blue=high, green=economy). When the water tank (9) is empty Fred
automatically switches off and the red LED (17) lights up.
4. Use the hygrostat (6) to set the humidity. The setting range
starts at 20 and ends at 90 % relative humidity. We recommend
setting the unit to 45 % humidity for a convenient room climate (in the
middle of the setting range, horizontal switch position).
Attention: If the air humidifier fails to steam after 5 minutes, turn
the hygrostat all the way to the right (max.). This may be due to the actual
room humidity being higher than the value you have set. You may then
gradually reduce the hygrostat. When the pilot lamps go out, you have
reached the ambient room humidity. If the air humidifier switches off
automatically while in operation, the desired room humidity has been
reached. The air humidifier resumes operation when the room humidity
falls below the preset value.
5. If the appliance is filled with a sufficient amount of water and stops nev-
ertheless, start the descaling process (see cleaning).
Cleaning
Prior to any maintenance, cleaning and after each use, switch off the appli-
ance and unplug the mains cable from the socket.
Attention: Never submerge the appliance in water (danger of short-circuit).
For hygienic reasons and to ensure proper operation, we recommend the
following cleaning intervals.
• Daily: Fill the water tank (9) with fresh, cold tap water. If the appliance
is not used for several days, empty the water from the water tray before-
hand and if necessary, clean it with a bit of dish detergent and a clean
cloth. Fill fresh water into the water tank (9), before putting the appliance
back into operation.
• Weekly: Descale the air humidifier depending on the lime content, but at
least once a week: Remove the steam tube (7), open the cover (8) using
the opening aid and lift it off, remove the water tank (9). Then remove the
cover for the heating plate (10) and the sealing (13). Clean both parts with
a brush. Descale the anti-limescale ball (14) and the heating plate with the
anti stick coating using a commercial descaler and rinse well afterwards.
Reassemble appliance completely with all parts (8-12) before reusing it.
• Regularly as required: For external cleaning, rub with a damp cloth and
then dry thoroughly.
• At the end of the season: Before storing the appliance at the end of
the season, clean it inside and out thoroughly and let it dry completely.
Descale the lower part as described above.
