water tank (3) sideways again, diagonal to Ben, and lift the water tank up
and insert it again. Important: Please do not move Ben when it is filled
with water. The water could splash out of the interior tank and into the
electronics.
3. Next, start Ben by pressing the On/Off button (6). The LEDs for the fire-
place effect will then light up, and the mist will be visible as it comes out
of the appliance (7) at variable output controller (8) height.
4. By turning the variable output controller (8), you can adjust the humidifier
output as you wish.
5. If you are disturbed by the brightness of the illuminated mist (in the bed-
room, for example), you can reduce the brightness of the LEDs by pressing
the dimmer button (9). You can choose between three different modes:
• Normal mode (default mode)
• Dimmed mode (push once)
• Lights-out mode (push twice)
• By pushing the dimmer button once more, you can go back into normal
mode.
6. You can also use Ben to fragrance the room. We ask that you be sparing
when dealing with fragrances as too much can lead to malfunctions and
damage to the unit. To use fragrances, remove the water tank (3) from the
unit and trickle the fragrance directly into the water tray (10) (see page 5).
Add a maximum of 2–3 drops of fragrance per full tank of water. Install
the water tank back into the unit.
Tip: Would you like to change the fragrance? Remove the water tank
from the unit, pour the remaining water out and clean the humidifier (see
«Cleaning»). Now Ben is ready to distribute a different fragrance of your
choice around the room. The intensity with which the aroma is diffused
can be adjusted smoothly by sliding the variable output controller.
7. The water level indicator (11) glows red when the water needs to be re-
filled. Remove the water tank (3) and fill it up with tap water. Replace the
water tank. The appliance will resume operation after a few seconds.
8. Would you like to refill the water during operation? You can simply remove
the water tank (3) and fill it up. The unit will operate for around a further
5 to 10 minutes with the water that remains in the system. Put the water
tank back into the unit within this time period and Ben can continue opera-
tion without stopping at all.
Note: Should you see droplets (or other signs of dampness) on or around
the unit, this is condensed water from the humidifier. This means that the
air can no longer absorb the moisture from the humidifier. Please reduce the
humidifier output until you can no longer see any droplets.
Cleaning
Before each piece of maintenance and after every use, turn off the unit
and remove the plug from the plug socket. Before you clean Ben, the power
adapter (1) must be separated from the power adapter connection (2).
Attention: Never submerge the unit in water (danger of short circuiting).
• For hygienic reasons and to ensure proper operation, we recommend the
following cleaning intervals.
• Daily: Fill the water tank (3) with fresh, cold tap water. If the appliance
is not used for several days, empty the water from the water tray (10) be-
