ARDES AR820 Mode D'emploi page 12

Instructions for use
The humidifier is provided with a special safety system which
prevents the boiler from being separated from the water reservoir
when the power supply cable is plugged into the appliance.
Fig. 1 - In order to separate the boiler from the reservoir, first disconnect
the power supply cable (1) and then twist the boiler counter-clockwise (2)
and lift it off (3).
For tap water into the reservoir until the coloured mark on the float
appears.
Do not exceed the maximum limit of 2 liters (AR820, ARM8U001).
Do not add salt or any other substances into the reservoir to avoid
damaging the appliance and causing safety problems.
FIG.2
820 - Fit the boiler onto the reservoir with the "fin" opposite the arrow on
the reservoir's band (1).
Twist it clockwise as far as it will go (2).
Now plug the power cable into the humidifier (3).
It is necessary to await 5/10 minutes before the appliance gets the
maximum intensity of vaporization.
FIG.3 - Before plugging the power cable into the humidifier, make sure
that the appliance has not become wet during filling. Otherwise, dry it
carefully.
If you want to use scented oil, you must pour it into the small recess
around the steam outlet hole (fig. 3) before plugging the power supply
cable into the appliance.
DO NOT POUR ESSENCES IN THE STEAM OUTLET HOLE OR IN
THE TANK.
In order to start up the appliance, plug the power supply cable into the
wall socket. It will take a few minutes before it starts emitting steam.
FIG.4 - The steam jet can be adjusted by means of the adjusting knob
(fig. 4).
If the water level drops below the level of the electrodes, steaming stops.
This does not damage the appliance and does not consume power.
A residual amount of water with all the impurities will remain at the bottom
of the reservoir. It will serve to make cleaning easier.
When using again the humidifier after a pause, first empty it and rinse
it out well before pouring in fresh tap water. If you don't, the water's
conductivity is increased and this makes the appliance becomes noisy
and the electrodes wear out more rapidly.
