Foreword
Safetyꢁinstructions
• Place the humidifier on a dry, level surface (5).
• Never pull the plug from the mains socket by the cable
or with wet hands (6).
• Do not put any additives in the water (e.g. fragrances,
essential oils, water fresheners, etc.)
Congratulations on your choice of the evaporator
AIR-O-SWISS E2241 / AIR-O-SWISS E2251!
• Read the operating instructions carefully before using
the humidifier and keep them for later reference.
• Connect the unit only to alternating current with
voltage according to the rating label.
en
Did you know that dry room air:
• Causes the membranes in your respiratory system
to dry out, and also causes chapped lips and stinging
eyes?
• Encourages infections and illnesses of respiratory
system?
• Causes weariness, tiredness and poor concentration?
• Stresses household pets and house plants?
• Encourages the formation of dust and the electrostatic
charging of textiles made of synthetic fibres, carpets
and plastic flooring?
• Damages furnishings made of wood and parquet?
• Detunes musical instruments?
• Only use the humidifier indoors and within the
specified technical data. If used for a purpose for
which it is not intended it could cause serious
danger to health and life.
• Children cannot recognise the hazards associated
with the usage of electrical appliances. For this reason,
always supervise children when they are near the
humidifier (image 1).
• Persons who are not familiar with the operating
instructions, as well as children and persons under
the influence of medication, alcohol, or drugs are not
permitted to operate the appliance, or are only per-
mitted to operate it under supervision.
• Place appliance where it is not easily knocked over by
persons in the household (7).
• Always unplug when not in use.
• Do not run power cords under carpets, and do not
cover with throw rugs. Arrange cord such that it will not
be tripped over.
• Do not use the appliance where combustible gases or
vapors are present.
• Do not expose the appliance to rain, or use near water,
in a bathroom, laundry area or other damp location.
• Do not allow foreign objects to enter ventilation.
• Do not sit, stand or place any heavy objects on the
appliance.
Usageꢁtips
• Never use the appliance if there is any damage to the
appliance or cable (2), after malfunction, after the
appliance has been dropped (3) or damaged in any
other way.
• Only operate the humidifier when it is completely
assembled.
• Repairs of electrical appliances are only to be made by
qualified service engineers (4). Improper repair work
can cause considerable danger to the user.
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains power
before filling/emptying the water tank, before cleaning/
maintenance, assembling/dismantling of individual
parts and before moving the appliance.
• The use of water additives, such as ethereal/essential
oils, fragrances, eucalyptus, water conditioners etc.,
damages the tank material and as a consequence
the whole unit. Any use of such additives will void the
manufacturer’s warranty.
The usage of humidifiers
• Is particularly advisable during the winter,
• However, it does not take the place of the regular airing
of rooms.
• Should provide a recommended relative humidity of
40 – 60 %

tenance-free.

Fig. 19 shows the position in the appliance. Remove the
Ionic Silver Stick® from the packaging and place it between
the evaporating mat and the tray edge without it impairing
the tank when inserted (see Fig. 19). Please replace the
Ionic Silver Stick® at the latest after one year; a new one
can be purchased from a specialist shop.
Turn the level switch to the desired setting. In order to
achieve rapid humidification set the switch to «HI», for

If the current humidity falls below 20%, the display in-
dicates «LO». Should the humidity exceed 90% the symbol

Useꢁofꢁadditives
Water additives (ethereal/essential oils, fragrances, euca-
lyptus, water conditioners etc.) must not be used! Even a
small amount can cause cracks in the tank material. The
material isn’t made for the use of such additives. One drop
is enough to damage the tank and as a consequence the
unit. Any use of such additives will void the manufacturer’s
warranty.

• Replace the evaporator mat earlier if one of the
following symptoms appears:
– Odours are produced.
– Heavy soiling or scaling (e.g. due to hard water).
– Significantly reduced humidification performance
(e.g. due to hard water).
– Discolouring of the mat caused by mould formation
• A beige-brown discolouring is natural and does not
mean that the mat needs to be replaced.
Before changing the evaporating mat,switch the
appliance off (22).

Regular cleaning is essential to ensure hygienic,
problem-free operation. Non-observance of the
following cleaning recommendations can lead to
the growth of micro organisms, including algae, bacteria
and mould.This can in turn cause respiratory problems and
other illnesses.
It is essential to clean the humidifier when the appliance
contains water and has not been in operation for a week.
en
Always switch off the appliance and unplug
before cleaning the appliance. Never immerse
the housing in water or other liquids (28)!
Cleaningꢁ–ꢁdaily
Switch off the appliance and remove the plug
from the mains socket (29).
• Lift the water tank and the housing from the appliance
and remove the evaporating mat (30).
• Thoroughly rinse the water tank and the water tray.
Remove any deposits with a cloth or a plastic or
wooden brush (31). Dry the appliance parts with a
hand towel.
• Put the parts back together in their original position
(32) (also described in the chapter «Putting into
operation») and fill the tank with cool tap water as
described in the chapter «Filling the tank».
• In order to prolong the operational life of the evapo-
rating mat, we recommend that you turn it around
every time to refill with water.
Do not wash out the evaporating mat – risk of
damage (33)!

and «Removing scaling and mineral deposits »).
• Check the condition of the evaporating mat every
week. If it feels hard, or is discoloured (caused by
mineral deposits or mould), it must be replaced (37)
(See description on page 21).
• Once all appliance parts have been cleaned and
thoroughly dried, put the parts back together in their
original position (38) (also described in the chapter
«Putting into operation» ). Fill the tank with cool tap
water as described in the chapter «Filling the tank».

Please note that only the appliance parts depicted in Fig 40
can be cleaned in the dishwasher. You can also distinguish
these parts by their light blue colour.
en
Observe the following:
• Always rinse the humidifier parts separately from other
kitchenware (41).
• Always use a cleaning setting with hot water.
• Should your dishwasher have a hot steam drying
option, it is essential that you deactivate this!
• Do not add any acidic substances to the dishwasher
while cleaning the appliance parts (42).
• ALWAYS remove the water tank lid from the tank before
you put it in the dishwasher (43)!
• If possible place the water tank with the opening facing
downwards. This prevents a large quantity of water
from remaining in the tank.
• Should you not be able to place the water tank upright
in the machine move the cutlery rack and see if this
provides sufficient space.
• Once you have cleaned all appliance parts and
thoroughly cleaned them put the parts back together
in their original position (44) (also described in the
chapter «Putting into operation»). Fill the tank with
cool tap water as described in the chapter «Filling the
tank».
