room through a ventilator as a visible spray. This fine spray evaporates in the warm air in the room,
moistening the air that people breathe.
White dust:
The ultrasonic vaporiser's method of action causes all substances contained in the water to be
sprayed, including calcium carbonate (a cause of limescale) and minerals. In order to prevent this as
far possible, the water is fed through the filter cartridge before being sprayed. The cartridge retains
a large percentage of the substances contained in the water. Tap water varies greatly from region
to region in terms of its calcium and mineral content. Some minerals cannot be sufficiently filtered
by the descaling resin used. In this case, a white, dust-like deposit is left in the room, which is first
visible on electro-statically charged surfaces (such as TV sets). This deposit also occurs when the
filter cartridge needs replacing (see the chapter on "Filter Cartridge and Water Hardness").
Tips for water
Clean water must always be used to ensure that the air remains hygienic to breathe. The device, and
the water tank in particular, must always be hygienically clean.
Recommendation: always use the Clean Cube, as this reduces the formation of germs in the water.
TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Red control display does not go out after tank has been filled with water:
The device switches off automatically if there is insufficient water. The colour of the 3 LEDs changes
from blue to red (the tank glows red). To restart the generation of spray, the device must first be
switched off and then switched back on again (this resets the device). This is a protective function
for the ultrasonic vaporiser.
Device does not switch on although the water tank has been attached and the on-button has been
pressed:
This is not a malfunction. It can take several minutes before sufficient water for operation has run
from the water tank through the cartridge and into the base. Wait and then press the on-button again.
The water tank is leaking:
Unscrew the lid, screw the cartridge in firmly and screw the lid back on to the tank.
Low performance, no steam output, device not functional:
Maintenance in accordance with the chapter on "Cleaning Procedure"
REPAIRS / DISPOSAL
•
Repairs to all electric devices (including replacement of the power cable) may only be per-
formed by instructed experts. Carrying out inappropriate repairs voids the warranty and no
liability shall be accepted.
•
If the power cable has become damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, his official
service partner or a qualified person, in order for further damage to be avoided.
•
Never operate the device if the cable or the plug is damaged, after the device has malfunc-
tioned, if it has been dropped or if it has been damaged in any other way (i.e. with cracks or
breakages to the housing).
•
Do not use any sharp, abrasive objects or corrosive chemicals.
•
Disable devices that are to be discarded immediately (by cutting off the power cable) and dis-
pose of them at an appropriate waste collection centre.
•
Do not dispose of electrical devices in the household refuse. Use the official recycling collection
centres, where available.
•
If electrical devices are disposed off in an unregulated way, the effects of weathering can cause
hazardous substances to contaminate the groundwater and the food-chain or this can result in
a burden on flora and fauna for years to come.
