Important information
Humidification with an air washer takes some time. An air washer works ac-
cording to the evaporation principle. In this process the air only absorbs as
much water as it needs at the current temperature (self-regulating humidifi-
cation). This means that it could take several hours to achieve a measurable
humidification result. If you put the air washer into operation in a very dry
environment, we recommend that you set the appliance to continuous oper-
ation («Air Humidity») and the speed level to 3 or Turbo («Speed») in order to
effectively increase the air humidity level. Here the size of the room and the
ventilation intervals also play a role. (Also see www.stadlerform.com/faq).
Cleaning
Prior to any maintenance, cleaning and after each use, switch off the appli-
ance and unplug the mains cable (3) from the socket.
Attention: Never submerge the appliance in water (danger of short-circuit).
• For external cleaning, rub with a damp cloth and then dry thoroughly.
• For internal cleaning, remove the water tank (5) and then pull out the
water tray (2) with the evaporator discs (8) (grab underneath the tray).
• Rinse the water tray (2) and the evaporator discs (8) with clean water
once per week, in order to wash out the particles of dirt removed from
the air.
• Clean the water tray (2), evaporator discs (8) and the water tank (5) thor-
oughly every 2 weeks with a soft brush or sponge and warm water.
If there are lime scale deposits in the water tray or water tank, use a
descaling solution diluted with water (for mixture ratio, see manufac-
turer's instructions). Subsequently rinse the tray and tank with tap water
thoroughly.
• Descale the evaporator discs (8) approx. every 4 weeks, depending on
the water hardness level. To do so, first empty out any water remaining
in the water tray (2). Then fill the water tray with a descaling solution
(mixture ratio of solution/water according to the manufacturer's instruc-
tions) up to 2 cm below the edge of the tray (leave the evaporator discs in
the tray). Now push the water tray back into the appliance (the tank does
not have to be inserted). Activate the buttons with a hand motion over
the display. Press the «Mode» button three times in order to start the
cleaning mode. The «Clean Mode» symbol lights up. Here the evaporator
discs rotate but the fan does not run. Thus no air is blown into the room.
After 20 minutes in cleaning mode, the appliance stops and the «Clean
Mode» display blinks. The cleaning process may be run several times de-
pending on the thickness of the limescale deposits (also see Point 7 under
«Setting-Up/Operation»). Once the cleaning process is finished, switch
the appliance off using the On/Off switch (4). Empty the water tray and
clean it thoroughly with tap water.
Ionic Silver Cube™
The Ionic Silver Cube (16) prevents the growth of germs and bacteria in the
humidifier due to the continuous release of silver ions. The use of the Ionic
Silver Cube leads to a hygienic room climate. The lifetime of the Ionic Silver
Cube is around one year. We therefore recommend that you replace the
