Operating instructions

Do not place the appliance near a heat source. Do not subject the power •
cord to direct heat (such as a heated hotplate, open flames, hot iron sole
plates or heaters for example). Protect power cords from oil.
See to it that the appliance is properly positioned to ensure a high stabil- •
ity during its operation and make sure that no one can trip over the power
cord.
The appliance is not splash-proof. •
Do not store or operate the appliance outdoors. •
Store the appliance in a dry place inaccessible to children (pack the ap- •
pliance).
Before setup: filter cartridge and water hardness
The length of time the cartridge is effective for depends on the hardness
of the water. This can be tested using the testing strips provided (strips are
stuck to the reverse side of these instructions for use)
Dip the testing strips into the water for a second1.
After around one minute, the results can be seen on the testing strips. 2.
Some of the green boxes change colour into pink. The water hardness is
shown by how many boxes turn pink.
Example: If three boxes are green, then the water hardness is at level «3»
With a water hardness upwards of 21 °dH, we can no longer recommend the
use of a ultrasonic air humidifier. We recommend that you use an impeller
humidifier to increase humidity in your house (e.g. Oskar humidifier made by
Stadler Form).
The unit only works properly with untreated water. Do not use where there
are water softeners and water ionisers in operation. However, the Anton
may be operated from a drinking water filter system (e.g. Brita). Should you
be unsure about the quality or composition of the water in your area, contact
the caretaker or the provider of drinking water.
Tip:
The efficiency of the cartridge can be inspected with a simple test. Hold a •
small mirror in the fog for a few seconds. If there are then white deposits
(calcium carbonate) on the mirror, then the cartridge needs changing.
Setup / operation
Put the Anton in the desired location on a flat surface. Connect the power 1.
adapter (16) to the unit and plug the adapter into a suitable plug socket.
Now fill up the water tank (2) up to the maximum mark with water. Then 2.
