Checking The Water Hardness - Honeywell BH-860E Gebrauchsanweisung

mode of operation with the
13
button . The humidity dis-
charged as well as the noise
produced are thereby low-
ered.
lDuring the first hours of
operation, the mist emitted
may have a peculiar smell.
This will disappear after a
while and is caused by the
granulate of the decalcifying
filter that is fresh from pro-
duction.
lImportant: Should the water
level in the atomization
chamber extend beyond
15
the uppermost sensor float,
the unit will interrupt the
atomization process. In this
case, switch the unit off,
check the correct fit of the
float with its sealing rubber,
scoop out the atomizing
chamber with a small vessel,
and put the unit back into
operation.
Cleaning
We recommend that you
clean the unit once a week.
lPull the power plug before
cleaning.
lRemove the tank lid , the
4
atomizer nozzle ,
3
and the decalcifying filter
6 .
lEmpty the residual water
before cleaning.
lRemove the float by means
of its handle and clean the
float.
lFill approx. one half of the
water tank with water (the
5
atomizing chamber is auto-
matically filled as well). To
assist the cleaning action, we
recommend that you add
approx. 10 drops of Dimanin
A* (do not add soap or
detergents).
After cleaning the water tank
with a brush or a soft cloth,
flush it well and remount the
float.
* "Dimanin A" is a chlorine-free
disinfectant that is also used in
swimming pools.
Caution: Keep out of the reach of
children, do not swallow! Avoid
direct eye contact! In the recom-
mended dilution, it is neither harm-
full to the skin nor to the eyes.

lNow replace the decalcify-
ing filter, fill the unit with the
water, and replace the tank
lid and the atomizer nozzle.
lConnect the unit to the
power supply and put into
operation.
lIn addition to the weekly
cleaning, you should carry
out the following procedure
every 6 weeks at the latest:
Remove the decalcifying filter
from the unit and briefly put
it in hot, not boiling, water
(approx. 70˚C) in order to
counteract any formation of
germs.
If the air filter is soiled,open
the air-filter flap, dust it, and
replace. In case of heavy
soiling, the air filter must be
exchanged (available from
your dealer).
Checking the
Water
Hardness
Please check your water
hardness (total hardness) with
the enclosed test strips as
follows:
Dip the strip with all its test
zones into a glass filled with
fresh tap water (do not hold
under running water!). After
2 minutes, you can determine
the degree of hardness of
your tap water according
to the following table.
No. of test zones
Green Violet Total Hardness
4 0 under 3º dH
3 1 4-7º dH
2 2 8-15º dH
1 3 16-22º dH
0 4 over 23º dH
To determine the value more
precisely, you can also
enquire at your local water-
works.
The decalcifying filter
enclosed can be used for
water hardnesses of up to
15˚ dH. The useful life of the
decalcifying filter depends on
the hardness of the water,
and it must be exchanged
accordingly:
useful life for 0-10˚ dH:
