Operation - Beurer LB 60 Gebrauchsanleitung

3. Operation

3.1 Start-up
This appliance is used for the humidification of environmental air.
• First remove all packaging materials and transport locking devices.
• Place the humidifier on a firm, flat and water-insensitive surface.
• Ensure that there is a limescale pad in the vaporizer cup (see Section „3.4 Limescale pad"). To do
this, remove both water tanks in turn, unlock the vaporizer by turning the turn-lock fastener out-
wards and remove the vaporizer. You can disengage and remove the steam nozzle by forcefully
turning it anticlockwise. Now place a limescale pad in the vaporizer cup so that it is spread out
flat. Reassemble the humidifier in reverse order and ensure that the steam nozzle and vaporizer
are securely locked.
• Fill the tanks as described in 3.2 and place them both on the humidifier. Water can now enter the
base and into the vaporizer cup according to the „bird drinking principle", and only as much water
flows which is equal to the amount vaporized.
• Plug the power plug firmly into the socket outlet.
• Switch on the humidifier - the signal lamps may flicker just for a moment. Turn the humidistat to
the right until you hear a slight click. The humidity detected in the room by the humidifier is excee-
ded with this click. It takes only a few minutes for the humidifier to heat up and start operating.
• When the water tanks are empty - this will be the case after approx. 24 hours operation - the red
signal lamp lights and the humidifier stops.
• If the water level drops below the minimum during operation, the heater will switch off and the red
lamp will light up.
• The humidifier will operate as long as there is water in one of the two tanks or in the base. In some
circumstances, the tanks will not empty equally quickly! The humidifier can be operated with
either one or both tanks.
3.2 Filling the water tanks
• First switch off the humidifier and unplug it.
• Remove the tanks and open the tank covers. Fill the tanks with cold tap water. Then firmly screw
on the tank covers again anticlockwise. Ensure that the seal is fitted and closes tightly.
• Now carefully fit the tanks on the humidifier and ensure that they fit correctly, otherwise the humi-
difier cannot operate properly.
3.3 Using the aroma container
The aroma container allows you to release aromatic, herbal and other fragrances into the air.
• Switch off the humidifier and allow the case and vaporizer to cool down.
• Carefully fill the container with the substance selected. The container should not be filled higher
than half full.
• Now carefully place the container in the middle of the air ventilation grid of the vaporizer.
• After use, remove the container and clean it of residues using warm water.
3.4 Limescale pad
Because this humidifier operates according to the vaporizer principle, none of the particles in the
water reach the respiratory air; they are trapped and remain in the vaporizer cup. The minerals
contained in the water accumulate on the large surface of the pad - chiefly limescale. The limescale
is easily removed from the humidifier with the pad and deposits are reduced. The humidifier also
operates without pads, but more frequent cleaning will then be required.
During operation, the water becomes very hot. If you want to remove the pad, first let the water cool
down or use tongs.
The life of a pad will depend on the hardness of the water with which the humidifier is operated.
In regions with average hardness, the pad should be changed after about 3 weeks of continuous
operation. Spare limescale pads can be obtained under Article No. 066.98 from the service address
or from your dealer.
To check when the pad should be changed, first allow the water to cool and then remove the pad. If
it is hard and no longer flexible, it must be exchanged. A further sign that the pad must be changed
