• Do not use the appliance in immediate vicinity of a bath tub, a shower or a
swimming pool (observe a minimum distance of 3 m). Place the appliance
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.
• For indoor use only.
• Do not store the appliance outdoors.
• 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.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer
or a repair shop authorized by the manufacturer or by similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Unplug the appliance during filling and cleaning.
• Caution: hot vapour! Care should be taken when using the appliance due
to the emission of hot water vapour.
Note
Do not operate the humidifier Fred with decalcified water out of a decalci-
fication system that uses the principle of an ion exchanger (salt is added to
the water). This may lead to malfunctions and subsequent leakage of the
appliance.
Setting up / operation
1. If the air humidifier Fred has been placed in the desired place: Connect the
power cord (2) to the socket in your household. Remove the steam tube
(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 humidifier,
screw on the cover and insert the steam tube.
2. Place the appliance in the room. Take care not to place it on a floor which
might be damaged by water, and that there are no appliances or furniture
sensitive to dampness close to it.
3. Switch on Fred using the On/Off switch (4) and select the desired output
(5) (blue=high, green=economy). When the water tank (9) is empty Fred
automatically switches off and the red LED (17) lights up.
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).
Attention: If the air humidifier fails to steam after 5 minutes, turn
the hygrostat all the way to the right (max.). This may be due to the actual
