HOW THE HUMIDIFIER WORKS AND ITS FEATURES
■
A humidifier effectively increases indoor air humidity and thereby improves air
quality and has a positive effect on human health. It acts preventively against drying
out of the mucous membrane in the respiratory tract and prevents respiratory
illnesses. Its use is recommended primarily during the heating season, when, as
a rule, indoor air is predominantly dry.
■
The SHF 2050BL / SHF 2051GR Humidifier works on the principle of a high frequency
ultrasound oscillator. Thanks to this technology, it produces cold steam and does
not affect the temperature in the room. The humidifying performance is adjustable
and essential oils can be used to create a pleasant indoor atmosphere. With
a humidifying performance of 250 ml/h, it is suitable for rooms up to an area of
30 m
2
. Its large 4-litre water tank guarantees an operating time of up to 16 hours per
single refill. When there is an insufficient amount of water in the tank, a signal is lit
and, at the same time, a protective function is activated, which automatically shuts
off the humidifier to prevent its damage. The automatic shut off is also activated,
when the water tank is removed during operation.

OPERATING LOCATION OF THE HUMIDIFIER, ITS ASSEMBLY
AND FILLING THE WATER TANK
1. Always place the humidifier on an even, dry and stable surface at a minimum
distance of:
– 60 cm from the floor;
– 30 cm from walls or sides of furniture;
– 200 cm from electrical and electronic devices or materials sensitive to moisture
to prevent their damage by the effects of increased humidity.
2. Make sure that the humidifier is turned off and disconnected from the power socket.
Remove the nozzle
A1
and lift the water tank
A4
off the base unit
A9
. Turn it upside
down and turn anticlockwise to unscrew the plug of the filling opening
A5
and
remove it.
3. Fill the water tank
A4
with clean cold tap water. After filling up the water tank
A4
,
properly secure the plug
A5
by turning it clockwise all the way. Turn the water tank
A4
upside down with the plug
A5
facing downwards and place it back on to the
base unit
A9
so that both parts fit into each other properly. When the water tank
A4
is placed on the base unit
A9
, water will start to be pumped into the water holder
A6
.
Attention:
The water tank
A4
is filled with water up to 40 °C.
If you need to move the humidifier, be especially careful not to spill the
water contained in the water holder
A6
.
4. After opening it, you may add a few drops of essential oil into the essential oil holder
A2
as shown in figure
B1
. Before using any essential oils, please ask the vendor or
an expert about its effects and correct dosage. Do not add anything other than
essential oils to the essential oil holder
A2
. After adding essential oil, close the
essential oil holder
A2
, see figure
B2
.
5. Place the nozzle
A1
into the steam outlet
A3
.
USING THE HUMIDIFIER
1. Check that the humidifier is correctly assembled. Connect the power cord to
a power socket. Turn the control dial
A11
clockwise to turn on the humidifier. The
indicator
A10
will be lit green. The humidifier will start producing cold steam within
a few moments. Ensure that during operation that the steam is not directed at
furniture or items sensitive to moisture. The steam exhaust direction can be set by
turning the nozzle
A1
to the required angle.
2. Use the control dial
A11
to increase or decrease steam output intensity during
operation. Turn the control dial
A11
clockwise to increase steam output, turn it in
the opposite direction to reduce steam output. If you fill the water tank
A4
up to the
edge, the expected operating time is up to 16 hours with the steam output set to
maximum intensity.
Attention:
If the humidifier was transported at a temperature below the freezing
point, first put it into room temperature and wait approx. 30 minutes before
turning it on.
Use the humidifier at an ambient temperature of 5 to 40 °C and at a relative
humidity of up to 60 %. In the event that the ambient temperature falls
below 0 °C, turn the humidifier off and remove the water inside the water
tank
A4
and the water holder
A6
, to prevent it from being damaged.
Do not lift the water tank
A4
out of the base unit
A9
or touch the nebulizer
A8
while the humidifier is running. For the event that the water tank
A4
is
removed during operation, the humidifier is equipped with a protective
automatic shut off function.
3. If the water level in the water holder
A6
runs low, the indicator
A10
will be lit red and
the humidifier will automatically stop producing steam. This is a safety function to
prevent the nebulizer
A8
from being damaged.
If necessary, fill up the water according to the instructions in point 2 and 3 in chapter
Operating location of the humidifier, its assembly and filling the water tank. Then
you can start the humidifier again.
4. To turn off the humidifier, turn the control dial
A11
anticlockwise all the way. The
indicator
A10
will turn off. Disconnect the humidifier from the power socket and
clean it out according to the instructions contained in the chapter Cleaning and
maintenance.
