Setting up / operation
1. Place Karl / Karl big in the desired location on a flat surface. Lift off
the upper part (3) of the device to fill the lower part (4) with clean cold
tap water up to the maximum mark (17) directly from the tap or use a
clean watering can to fill the container via the opening for refilling (13).
Caution: no water may enter the air outlet opening (14)! If you filled the
lower part directly from the tap, put the upper part (3) back on the lower
part (4), making sure that they fit together properly. Connect the power
cable (1) to the power adapter connection (2) on the device first of all and
then to a suitable socket outlet.
2. Start the appliance by pressing the On/Off button (5). The white LED
should then light up. If a red lamp (11) lights up however, this indicates
no water in the appliance.
3. You can use the hygrostat to set the desired air humidity. To do this,
press on the button for the hygrostat (6). You can choose between the
following levels: 40 % relative air humidity (1 white LED), 45 % (2 white
LEDs), 50 % (3 white LEDs), 55 % (4 white LEDs), constant operation
"CO" (5 white LEDs). If the LEDs are flashing, this indicates that the
desired air humidity has already been reached. Please note that the hy-
grostat needs about 3 seconds to measure the current humidity in the
room. The hygrostat will switch the device on again automatically as
soon as the relative humidity in the room drops below the set value.
We recommend that you set your room humidity to 45 – 60 % (comfort
range).
4. Press the button for selecting the humidification level (7) to change the
fan speed (levels 1–4). Pressing once increases the speed by one level.
If you would like to increase the speed by another level, press again.
The setting chosen is indicated by the number of LEDs illuminated un-
derneath the humidification level button (7) (1 LED for level 1, 2 LEDs for
level 2, 3 LEDs for level 3, 4 LEDs for Turbo). Level 2 is the default setting.
5. Press the auto mode button (8) to activate the auto mode. The LED be-
low the auto mode button lights up. In auto mode, the appliance auto-
matically maintains the desired humidity level. First, set the hygrostat
(6) to the desired humidity (40 / 45 / 50 or 55 %). The auto mode can
not be activated when the hygrostat (6) is set to continuous operation
(5 LEDs lit). The lower the current humidity, the higher the speed of the
fan is set automatically. The closer the current humidity is to the desired
value, the lower the speed level is selected (e.g. if desired humidity is
45 % and current humidity is below 34 %, level 3 is selected, from 35-
40 % = level 2, from 41-45 % = Level 1). As soon as you press the button
for changing the humidification level (7) (or the auto mode button (8)
again), auto mode is deactivated.
6. If you find the lamps too bright (in a bedroom for example), you can re-
duce the brightness of the LEDs by pressing the dimmer button (9). You
can choose between three different modes:
• Normal mode (default mode)
• Dimmed mode (press once)
• Lights-out mode (press twice)
• By pressing the dimmer button once more, you can go back into nor-
mal mode.
If there is no water in the appliance, the red LED (11) lights up in all
modes (normal and night mode). The red light can not be dimmed.
