Fragrances can be dribbled onto the fleece pad in the con-

tainer. A few drops are sufficient – liquid must not be present

in the container. Apply fragrances only onto the fleece pad

or a cotton-wool pad and never add directly to the contai-

ner (18)! Water additives (e.g. etheric oils, fragrances, water

purifiers) must NOT be added to the water tank or directly

into the nebulizer space! Even a small amount can damage

the plastic of these parts or create cracks. Appliances that

are damaged by additives are not covered by the warranty.

General Humidifier Questions

Q. Why isn’t there enough moisture in my room?

A. How often do you run the unit? If the unit is only run at

night, then during the day the moisture level will drop if

moisture is not constantly added to the air.

Q. Do you leave your door open or closed when the

unit is running?

A. a) By leaving the door open, this allows moisture to

leave the room and go into other areas of the house.

If you would like the moisture to stay within one

specific room you should consider closing the door

while the unit is running.

b) Wood, leather, carpet, curtains, and other types of

fabric soak up a lot of moisture, thus not leaving

enough moisture for the air. If the window is left

open, then this allows moisture to escape the room.

Another factor is a lot of times the unit is placed

next to a heating device. The idea is that the air

blowing into the room will quickly place moisture

around the room. Unfortunately, this concept does

not work because the hot air coming out of a vent

will soak up most of the moisture, and none of the

air within the room will receive any.

Q. How much moisture do I need in my room?

A. Suggested humidity levels are between 40 – 60%.

Q. What are the effects of too little or too much

humidity?

A. Dry air can cause dry skin, static electricity, out of tune

musical instruments, increased levels of dust (dry air

causes dust to rise), damage to wooden objects

(dry out and eventually cracks appear), discomfort,

sickness, and dries out nasal membranes.

Over-humidifying the air can cause mold and wallpaper

to peel.

Q. Why do I need a humidifier when I can just open

my window?

A. The moisture level within the outside air is not high

enough to humidify a room. The colder the air the less

moisture it is capable to hold, and the more the air is

heated up the percentage of relative humidity is lower.

Relative humidity means the amount of water vapor in

the air, compared to the amount the air could hold if it

was totally saturated. The difference is higher between

outside and inside temperatures; more humidification

is needed because of the dry air in the room.

Q. Where should I place my humidifier?

A. The unit should be free-standing and not close to a

wall, window, door, or thermal bridge so that air may

circulate around the unit.

Ultrasonic Frequent Questions

Q. There is no fill-line on the water tank, how far

may I fill it up?

A. There is no fill line on the water tank, and it may be

filled all the way to the top.

Q. Is it ok to use distilled water with the unit?

A. For best results with your ultrasonic humidifier use

distilled or reverse-osmosis water.

Q. The directions tell me not to place the unit directly

on the floor, why do I have to elevate the unit?

A. The idea with this unit is to allow one to force humidity

into the air. Because of this, the carpeting or wood floor

surrounding the unit may become damp. If the unit is

placed at least 3 feet off the floor, the mist will have the

opportunity to evaporate before hitting the floor.

Q. Water does not go into the tank.

A. In order to fill the tank, it must be turned upside down.

The cartridge is placed on the water tank cap. Do not

pour water in the tube which is the mist outlet.

Q. White dust is emitted from the unit

A. White dust particles are minerals that are broken up in

tiny pieces by the ultrasonic process.

Solve the problem:

• Don’t use water from a pre-installed water softener,

or sodium instead of calcium will be emitted from the

unit. Use distilled water instead.

• For very hard water areas use only distilled water.

• Use Reverse-Osmosis water (R-O water) instead of

distilled water.

• Replace A250 filter

Q. Humidity level is not changing or does not reach

the desired humidity level.

A. If the water tank needs refilling more than once per

day, the unit is working properly and the climatic

condition in the room has an influence on the humidity.

Reasons for low humidity level:

• air circulation is very high (air is fully exchanged

several times per day – the humidifier needs to starts

its work from scratch)

• insulation of home (see air circulation)

• open space with high ceilings (not only the footage of

the room counts but also the height) – high-rise build-

ings require more humidification.

• open windows – works similar to air circulation (if it is

very cold outside don’t open the window more than

2 times per day for 3 minutes)

• big difference between outside temperature and inside

temperature – the colder the air the less moisture it

is capable to hold and the more the air is heated up

the lower is the percentage of relative humidity (=the

amount of water vapor in the air, compared to the

amount the air could hold if it was totally saturated)

• position of the unit - if it is placed close to a door,

window or air vent. This increases the air circulation.

16

en

Q. Tank is leaking

A. Check if there are any hairline cracks. Dropped units or

water tanks that are cracked will not be covered under

the warranty. Please contact the retailer where the unit

was purchased from in case your unit arrives damaged.

Q. Placing the face in the mist

A. It is not recommended that anybody places their face

in the mist. It is an electrical product and should not be

played with.

Q. No mist / unit is not working / empty indicator

keeps flashing

A. Fill up the water tank. Check if water is flowing through

the A250 (attached to the water tank cap). Ifthe water

tank is full but there is only little water in the base it

indicates that the water is now flowing through the

A250.

• Wait for 15 minutes to allow the mist to come out of

the unit.

• If the empty indicator keeps flashing and the tank is

full, the water is not flowing through the cartridge. Ex-

change the A250 after 2-6 months, in areas with hard

water exchange the cartridge after 1-2 months. How-

ever, the A250 must be exchanged at the latest after 6

months or the unit does not reach its full performance

anymore.

Q. Water tank cap is too tight to unscrew

A. This could be a cause of the air pressure within the

water tank. Depress the spring on the bottom of the

water tank cap to release air from the water tank.

Continue to do this until you are able to unscrew the

water tank cap.

Accessories

Q. Do I need to keep any parts before I replace the

A250?

A. Yes, always keep the water tank cap (this is the piece

that attaches the A250 to the water tank).

Q. What is the Hydro Cell and how long is it good for?**

A. The Hydro Cell keeps humidifiers operating at their

highest level between recommended cleanings. Good

for approximately one to two months, depending on

the water quality, the Hydro Cell ensures the humidi-

fier’s functionality while providing fresh humidification

performance. It needs to be replaced every one to two

months*.

* Depending on the water quality

** Optional Accessory

Q. What is EZCal and EZCal PRO?

A. There is a sample packet of EZCal included in the

packaging of your humidifier. EZCal and EZCal PRO are

used for cleaning and descaling any of the humidifiers

and cleans mineral build-up. EZCal and EZCal PRO are

the only recommended cleaning and descaling solu-

tions. Do NOT use any other cleaning solutions since it

can damage the product. Any use of cleaning solutions

apart from EZCal and EZCal PRO will void the warranty.

Instructions for using are on the packet. Only use 1

packet for 32oz of water. Do not change the ratio. It can

also be used for other humidifier brands. Thoroughly

rinse the base with tap water and make sure no EZCal

and EZCal PRO residues remains in the base! EZCal

and EZCal PRO are available at selected retail stores

and online www.boneco.us.

Please refer to the enclosed manual for

putting the A250 into operation.
