Information on how an ultrasonic nebulizer works
How does the ultrasonic nebulizer work? An ultrasonic membrane in the interior of the device causes the water to nebulize,
causing very fine droplets of water to be catapulted off from the water surface. These droplets mix with the air in the mist
chamber and are then blown into the room through a ventilator as a visible mist. This fine mist evaporates in the warm air in
the room, moistening the air that people breathe.
White dust:
The ultrasonic nebulizer's method of action causes all substances contained in the water to be nebulized, including calcium
carbonate (a cause of lime-scale) and minerals. In order to prevent this as far possible, the water is fed through the anticalc
cartridge before being nebulized. The cartridge retains a large percentage of the substances contained in the water. Tap water
varies greatly from region to region in terms of its calcium and mineral content. Some minerals cannot be sufficiently filtered
by the descaling resin used. In this case, a white, dust-like deposit is left in the room, which is first visible on electro-statically
charged surfaces (such as TV sets). This deposit also occurs when the anticalc cartridge needs replacing (see the chapter on
"Anticalc cartridge and water hardness").
Tips for water
Do not use water that has been subject to salt-based softening in a descaling system. These systems replace the calcium with
salt, which then settles in the room as a white deposit.
Clean water must always be used to ensure that the air remains hygienic to breathe. The device, and the water tank in particu-
lar, must always be hygienically clean.
Recommendation: always use the Ionic Silver Cube (ISC™), as this reduces the formation of germs in the water.
Trouble-Shooting
"No Water" alarm light does not switch off after tank has been filled with water:
The device switches off automatically if there is not enough water. The "No Water" light switches on (in red color) to warn
you for the refill. To restart the generation of mist, the device must first be switched off and then switched back on again (this
resets the device). This is a protective function for the ultrasonic nebulizer.
Device does not switch on although the water tank has been attached and the on-button has been pressed:
This is not a malfunction. It takes few minutes till enough water runs from the water tank through the cartridge and into the
mist generation chamber. Wait for a while and then press the on-button again.
The water tank is leaking:
Turn the tank cover anti-clockwise to take it off from the water tank, check if the cartridge is fixed firmly and put the tank cover
back on to the tank.
Low performance, no mist output, device not functional:
Perform maintenance as described in the chapter on "Cleaning procedure".
Repairs
• Repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by a qualified electrical technician. If improper repairs are car-
ried out, the warranty lapses and all liability is refused.
• Never operate the appliance if the adapter 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.
• If the appliance is beyond repair, make it unusable immediately by cutting through the cable and hand it in at the collec-
tion point provided for the purpose.
Disposal
• 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 collection points are located.
• If electrical appliances are disposed of thoughtlessly, exposure to the elements may cause hazardous substances to
find their way into the groundwater and from there into the food chain, or to poison the flora and fauna for many years
to come.
