Air washer ROBERT Black

If your humidifier is leaking, it may be because:

• your humidifier's tank is not closed properly: the cap is not screwed on properly
• the tank cap seal fell off when filling and there is no longer a seal
• the tank is cracked or broken. To test this, you can fill your tank and place it on a tray. If there is water in the tray after a few minutes, it means that the tank is no longer watertight. As this part is not under warranty, to replace the tank, go to the page Spare parts.

Be careful, do not try to fill your humidifier from the top, unless it is a "top-fill" humidifier and this is specified in the instructions. Please note that it is normal for there to be a little water in the base of the tank, at the level of the ultrasonic plate.

• Cold steam: tap water, mineral water and distilled water are suitable. If your water is hard, a white deposit will form around the device. This is the limescale in the water breaking into tiny particles and falling back down next to the device. There is no risk to your health, however, you must ensure that you clean your humidifier well so that it does not scale up. It is also possible to use a mixture of tap water and mineral water. To reduce this white dust, it is advisable to regularly replace the humidifier's filter cartridge.

• Warm steam: tap water, mineral water and distilled water are suitable. Just like hot steam humidifiers, water from a softener is strongly discouraged.

• Hot steam: tap water is suitable, but softened water from a descaling system using salt should be excluded. The boiling point of the water will be transformed, causing an overflow and then a deformation of the humidifier.

• Evaporator: any type of water. Ideal if the water is very hard. The hard water will remain at the bottom of the tank and can simply be cleaned with a suitable product (white vinegar for example).

Clean the water base, evaporation discs and water tank thoroughly every 2 weeks. Use warm water and a soft brush or sponge. If limescale deposits appear in the water base or water tank, use the descaling solution Cleaner&Descaler diluted with water. To do this, remove the tank and the Water Cube. Remove the water tray and discs. Dispose of any remaining water in the tray and fill it with tap water. Add the same amount of Cleaner & Descaler descaling solution. Replace the discs and water tray. Activate the device's cleaning mode (« clean mode »). The cleaning cycle lasts 20 minutes and the device stops automatically.

This means that the desired humidity level has been reached and the unit has automatically switched off.

The humidity level is measured approximately every 30 minutes - the fan runs for 1 to 2 minutes -. If the humidity level falls below the set value, the unit starts humidifying again.

Press the 'Air Humidity' button to set the desired humidity level again. You can now select the desired level by pressing the 'Air Humidity' button several times (the display will flash while the settings are being adjusted). The selected value is saved if no further adjustment is made for approximately 10 seconds. The display will again show the humidity level of the room. Once the humidity level is reached, the unit will switch off again and the display will flash.

Please check that the water tray and especially the evaporation discs are properly inserted into the appliance. The water tray must be gently inserted until you hear a «click».

Yes, the air washer will automatically turn back on in the event of a power outage.

Models with a production date before 2015 are not equipped with this. Make sure the air inlet and outlet are cleaned regularly (using a dry brush or vacuum cleaner) to prevent dust build-up.

It may happen that the discs become loose during operation or after cleaning. As a result, the gear wheel on the discs no longer holds properly. To tighten the discs, turn the first disc with the gear wheel clockwise.

Yes.

The intensity of the scent depends on 3 factors:

• The size of the room (the smaller the room, the more noticeable the scent).
• The type of scent: natural scents are often less intense than synthetic ones and some components are more dominant than others.
• The room temperature and relative humidity (the more humid the air, the more noticeable the scent).

Add a few more drops of essential oil to increase the intensity of the fragrance. It should also be taken into account that the main functions of the air washer are to purify and humidify the air. The intensity of the fragrance will therefore never be comparable to that of a fragrance diffuser.

Yes, they are reused during the next startup.
