• Do not pull the plug from the socket with wet hands or by holding on to
the power cord.
• Do not use this air humidifier in immediate vicinity of a bath tub, a shower
or a swimming pool (observe a minimum distance of 3 m). Place the ap-
pliance such that a person in the bath tub cannot touch the appliance.
• Do not place the appliance near a heat source. Do not subject the power
cord to direct heat (such as a heated hotplate, open flames, hot iron sole
plates or heaters for example). Protect power cords from oil.
• See to it that the appliance is properly positioned to ensure a high stabil-
ity during its operation and make sure that no one can trip over the power
cord.
• The appliance is not splash-proof.
• Do not store or operate the appliance outdoors.
• Store the appliance in a dry place inaccessible to children (pack the ap-
pliance).
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
ist service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• This appliance is not intended for use by person (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction-
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
Preparation for use/operation
1. Place the Oskar big room humidifier on a flat surface in the desired area. Plug
the mains cable (3) into a electric socket. Use the filling opening (11) to fill
the lower part (2) with water up to the maximum mark (14), either at a water
tap or with a watering can. When you have filled the lower part at the tap,
carefully fit the upper part (1) to the lower part (2).
2. Next start the appliance by pressing the on/off switch (5). The blue LED
should then light up. If a red pilot lamp (10) lights up however, this indicates
either lack of water in the appliance or failure to seat the upper part correctly
on the lower part. If there is no water in the appliance, the motor will stop
automatically.
3. By pressing the speed level selector button (6) you can change the humidity
output (1 to 4 LEDs = normal evaporation to high evaporation).
4. You can use the hygrostat to set the desired air humidity. To do this, press
on the hygrostat button (7). You can choose between the following levels:
40% relative air humidity (1 blue LED), 45% (2 blue LED), 50% (3 blue LED),
55% (4 blue LED), constant operation (5 blue LED). If the lamps are flashing,
this indicates that the desired air humidity has already been reached. Please
note that the hygrostat needs about 3 second to measure the current humid-
ity in the room. The hygrostat switches on automatically once the relative air
humidity in the room sinks below the preset value. We recommend that you
set your room humidity to 45% (comfort range).
5. If you find the lamps too bright (in a bedroom for example), you may reduce
the light intensity by pressing the night mode key (8). You can choose be-
tween 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. Oskar big has a reminder function for filter change. At first use timer will be
set automatically. After a whole operating duration of two months the filters
need to be changed. In this case, the blue LED above the reset button (9) is
blinking. After changing the filters, press the reset button (9) for 5 seconds
until the blue LED is fully lighted again.
7. You can use the Oskar air humidifier to distribute fragrances in the room.
Please be as economical as possible in the use of fragrances, because exces-
sive quantities may lead to malfunctions and damage to the appliance. To use
fragrances, remove the fragrance container (12) from the filling opening (11).
Place no more than 2-3 drops of fragrance in the container and replace it in
the space provided in the filling opening. If you wish to change the fragrance,
you can wash out the fragrance container and fleece under running water.
8. If you wish to top up with water during operation, you can open the filling
opening (11) by pressing on it (Push to open). You can then refill the appliance
using a water can or water bottle without having to switch it off. PLEASE
NOTE: If you are operating the appliance with fragrances, remove the fra-
grance container before refilling to prevent water getting into it. Should this
nevertheless occur, it will be necessary to remove the water container (2)
and rinse it. Fragrances should not be permitted to enter the water tank,
since they might destroy the plastic.
Important information
Humidification with an evaporator takes time. This means that it usually
takes more than 2-3 hours to reach the desired humidity. If you operate the
humidifier in a very dry environment we recommend to operate it on humid-
ity level 5 and speed level 4 to reach a maximum amount of humidity in a
short time.
Cleaning and cassette replacement
Prior to any maintenance work and after each use, switch off the appliance
and withdraw the mains cable from the socket.
Never immerse in water (risk of short circuit).
• External surfaces should only be wiped off with a damp cloth and then
dried well.
• To clean the inside, remove the filter cassettes and descale the lower part
if necessary. After descaling, thoroughly rinse the upper part and then dry
it before putting the air humidifier into operation again.
• For hygienic and optimum operation of the air humidifier, the filter cas-
settes should be replaced at least every two months (see reminder func-
tion for filter change (9)). If the filter cassettes remain in use for longer
