7. You can use the Oskar big humidifier to distribute fragrances in the room.
Please be as economical as possible in the use of fragrances, because ex-
cessive 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 ap-
pliance 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 fragrance 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
humidity 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.
Attention: Never submerge the unit in water (danger of short-circuit).
• External surfaces should only be wiped off with a damp cloth and then
dried well.
• Every 2 weeks: To clean the inside, remove the filter cassettes and
descale the lower part if necessary. After descaling, thoroughly rinse the
lower part and then dry it before putting the humidifier into operation
again.
• For hygienic and optimum operation of the air humidifier, the filter cas-
settes must be replaced every 2 – 3 months. If the filter cassettes remain
in use for longer than this, on the one hand the humidity output may de-
cline severely and on the other, the anti-bacterial action of the cassettes
can no longer be guaranteed. The filter cassettes can be obtained from
the dealer where you purchased your Oskar big.
Ionic Silver Cube ™
The Ionic Silver Cube (15) prevents the growth of germs and bacteria in the
humidifier due to the continuous release of silver ions. The use of the Ionic
Silver Cube leads to a hygienic room climate. The lifetime of the Ionic Silver
Cube is around one year. We therefore recommend that you replace the Ionic
Silver Cube at the beginning of every humidifying season. The Ionic Silver
Cube starts working as soon as it comes into contact with water, and also
works when the unit is switched off.
