Stadler Form Anton Mode D'emploi page 10

With a water hardness above 21 °dH, we can no longer recommend the use
of an ultrasonic air humidifier. We recommend that you use an evaporative
humidifier to increase humidity in your house (e.g. Oskar humidifier made by
Stadler Form).
The unit only works properly with untreated water. Do not use where there
are water softeners and water ionisers in operation. However, Anton may
be operated from a drinking water filter system (e.g. Brita). Should you be
unsure about the quality or composition of the water in your area, contact
the caretaker or the provider of drinking water.
Tip
The efficiency of the cartridge can be inspected with a simple test. Hold a
small mirror in the mist for a few seconds. If there are then white deposits
(calcium carbonate) on the mirror, then the cartridge needs changing.
Setting up / operation
1. Put Anton in the desired location on a flat surface. Connect the power
adapter (16) to the unit and plug the adapter into a suitable plug socket.
2. Now fill up the water tank (2) up to the maximum mark with water. Then
place the tank in the unit. Important: Please do not move Anton when it is
filled with water. The water could splash out of the interior tank and into
the electronics.
3. Next, turn on Anton by pressing the on / off button (13). Afterwards, the
white light on the front of the unit will turn on, as will the lighting on the
water level indicator (10).
4. By turning the variable output controller (15), you can adjust the humidifier
output as you wish.
5. If you are bothered by the brightness of the small lights (i.e. in the bed-
room), you can reduce the brightness by pushing the night mode button
(14). You can choose between three different modes:
• Normal mode (default mode)
• Dimmed mode (push once)
• Lights-out mode (push twice)
• By pushing the dimmer button once more, you can go back into normal
mode.
6. You can also use Anton to fragrance the room. We ask that you be sparing
when dealing with fragrances as too much can lead to malfunctions and
damage to the unit. To use fragrances, remove the water tank (2) from
the unit and trickle the fragrance directly into the water (see page 4). Add
a maximum of 1 – 2 drops of fragrance per full tank of water. Install the
water tank back into the unit.
Tip: Would you like to change the fragrance? Remove the water tank
from the unit, pour the remaining water out and clean the humidifier (see
«Cleaning»). Now Anton is ready to dissipate a different fragrance of your
choice around the room.
7. When the water level indicator light changes from white to red, then the
water must be refilled. Remove the water tank (2) and fill it up with tap
water. As soon as you put the tank back in Anton, it continues normal
operation.
8. Would you like to refill the water during operation? You can simply remove
