Setting Up/Operation - Stadler Form Fred Mode D'emploi

Do not place the appliance near a heat source. Do not subject the power
cord to direct heat (such as a heated hotplate, open lames, 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.
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.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent or similarly qualiied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
For indoor use only.
Store the appliance in a dry place inaccessible to children (pack the ap-
pliance).
The appliance only functions perfectly with untreated water. Do not use
in conjunction with water softeners / ion exchangers.
The appliance must not under any circumstances be operated with or
come into contact with fragrances because these damage the plastic and
may lead to appliance malfunctions.
Cleaning
Before servicing the humidiier and after each occasion of use, switch off
the appliance and unplug the mains cable from the socket.
Never immerse the appliance in water (danger of short-circuit). To clean
the appliance, only wipe it down with a damp cloth and then dry it care-
fully. Always take out the mains plug irst.
Descale the air humidiier depending on the lime content, but at least
once a week: Remove the steam pipe (7), open the cover (8) using the
opening aid and lift it off, remove the water tank (9). Then remove the
cover for the heating plate (10) and the sealing (11). Clean both parts with
a brush. Descale the anti-limescale magnetic ball (12) and the heating
plate with the anti stick coating using a commercial descaler and rinse
well afterwards. Reassemble appliance completely with all parts (8-12)
before reusing it.
Rinse the water tank well at regular intervals.
Repairs/disposal
Repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by a qualiied
electrical technician. If improper repairs are carried out, the guarantee
lapses and all liability is refused.
Never operate the appliance if the adaptor or plug is damaged, after it has
malfunctioned, if it has been dropped or has been damaged in any other
way (cracks/breaks in the casing).
Do not push any object into the appliance. Do not disassemble the puriier.
If the appliance is beyond repair, make it unusable immediately and hand
it in at the collection point provided for the purpose.
Do not dispose of electrical appliances in the domestic waste. Please use
the communal collection points.
Ask your local authority if you do not know where the communal collec-
tion points are located.
If electrical appliances are disposed of thoughtlessly, exposure to the ele-
ments may cause hazardous substances to ind their way into the ground-
water and from there into the food chain, or to poison the lora and fauna
for many years to come.
If you are replacing the appliance with a new one, the seller is legally
obliged to take back the old one at least free of charge for disposal.

Setting up/operation

1. If the air humidiier FRED has been placed in the desired place: Connect the
power cord (2) to the socket in your household. Remove the steam pipe (7)
and lift off the cover (8). Fill the water tank (9) with water (make sure to hold
inlet opening slightly up) – screw on the cover properly and check whether
the cover is tight. Reinsert the water tank in the air humidiier, screw on the
cover and insert the steam pipe.
2. Place the appliance in the room. Take care not to place it on a loor which
might be damaged by water, and that there are no appliances or furniture
sensitive to dampness close to it.
3. Operate FRED via the On/Off switch (4) and select the desired output (5)
(blue=high, green=economy). If the appliance stops steaming, the display
Tank empty (15) will be illuminated, then reill the water according to item 1.
4. Use the hygrostat (6) to set the humidity. The setting range starts at 20
and ends at 90% relative humidity. We recommend setting the unit to 45%
humidity for a convenient room climate (in the middle of the setting range,
horizontal switch position).
PLEASE NOTE: If the air humidiier fails to steam after 5 minutes, turn
the hygrostat all the way to the right (max.). This may be due to the actual
room humidity being higher than the value you have set. You may then
gradually reduce the hygrostat. When the pilot lamps go out, you have
reached the ambient room humidity. If the air humidiier switches off
automatically while in operation, the desired room humidity has been
reached. The air humidiier resumes operation when the room humidity
falls below the preset value.
5. If the appliance is illed with a suficient amount of water and stops never-
theless, start the descaling process (see cleaning).
This product mast not be disposed together with the domestic
waste. This product has to be disposed at an authorized place
for recycling of electrical and electronic appliances.
