• Do not reach inside the nebulizer space during opera-
tion. The high frequency oscillation causes the memb-
rane to become hot.
• Never pull the plug from the mains socket by the cable
or with wet hands.
• Do not pour water into the mist outlet of the appliance
(5).
• Always place the appliance on a dry, level surface.
• Do not place the appliance directly on the floor next to
a heater or in the vicinity of electrical equipment. If the
released mist reaches the floor or objects before it has
fully evaporated, it may cause damage to them (6).
• The unit should be placed in an elevated position (7),
e.g. on a table, chest, etc.
• Do not immerge the main body in water or other liquids
(28).
• Position the appliance where it cannot be easily kno-
cked over (8).

tion use only clean, contamination-free, cold, fresh tap
water in your humidifier. If your water source is contam-
inated or if you are uncertain of its safety use distilled
water. In addition, it is advised to clean and maintain
your humidifier in a timely manner as instructed in
this manual.
• When fragrancing the air, use the fragrance container
provided (also see section «Use of fragrances»). Do not
add any additives such as essential oils directly into the
water tank or the water base (9). These additives will
damage your appliance! Appliances that are damaged
by additives are excluded from the warranty.
