AIR-O-SWISS AOS 2055D Manual De Usuario

Q.

A.  The cleaning light does not automatically reset. The

cleaning light does not automatically reset. Hold down

both hygrostat buttons (B) until the cleaning indicator

stops flashing. The light automatically comes on ap­

prox. after 14 days of plugging in the unit.

Q.

A. The manufacturer of this appliance does NOT recom­

mend it. The plates can only be placed in a dishwasher

where the temperature is no greater than 131°F / 55ºC.

If the temperature is any hotter than this, the plates will

melt. Place the plates in a sink filled with warm water

and white vinegar or EZCal and either let them soak or

spin the plates in this solution. Or, add white vinegar

or EZCal to the water in the base of the unit and let the

unit run for an hour to clean the plates.

 It is good to have calcium deposits built up on the

plates as it will capture more particles from the air and

add more moisture to the air.

Q.

A.  Not all hygrometers are calibrated the same, and

most are off by +/­ 5%. Plus the humidity level is not

the same in the whole room. The air circulation and

temperature are different in every corner of the room

and may affect the humidity level. The unit should not

be placed near a heat vent or a radiator as the heat will

absorb all of the moisture.

Q.

A.  If the water tank needs refilling more than once per

day, the unit is working properly and the climatic con­

dition in the room has an influence on the humidity.

Reasons for low humidity level:

•  air circulation is very high (air is fully exchanged se­

veral times per day – the humidifier needs to starts its

work from scratch)

•  insulation of home (see air circulation)

•  open space with high ceilings (not only the footage of

the room counts but also the height) – high­rise buil­

dings require more humidification.

•  open windows – works similar to air circulation (if it is

very cold outside don’t open the window more than 2

times per day for 3 minutes)

•  big difference between outside temperature and inside

temperature – the colder the air the less moisture it

is capable to hold and the more the air is heated up

the lower is the percentage of relative humidity (=

the amount of water vapor in the air, compared to the

amount the air could hold if it was totally saturated)

•  position of the unit – if it is placed close to a door, win­

dow or air vent. This increases the air circulation.

Q.

A. Yes, the unit can be used all year round. The unit pro­

duces relative humidity which means that the air will

only take as much moisture as it can hold. The unit

will not over­humidify the air.

Q.

A. The ISS is effective in preventing the growth of bacteria

and molds in standing water. It needs to be replaced

once a year. The ISS can be used in all AIR­O­SWISS

products plus in all other humidifier brands.

Q.

A. The ISS is effective in preventing microbial growth in

standing water. Please see the quick set up guide for

more instructions.

Q.

A. In each ISS box there is an ISS lifecycle indicator.

Check the box of the month when starting to use the

ISS and write the year on the line indicated. Exchange

it after 12 months.

Q.

A.  There is a sample packet of EZCal included in the

packaging of your humidifier. EZCal is used for cleaning

and descaling any of the AIR­O­SWISS products, and

cleans mineral build­up. EZCal is the only recommen­

ded cleaning and descaling solution. Do NOT use any

other cleaning solutions since it can damage the pro­

duct. Any use of cleaning solutions apart from EZCal

will void the warranty. Instructions for using are on the

packet. Only use 1 packet for 32oz of water. Do not

change the ratio. It can also be used for any other hu­

midifier brand. Do NOT run the unit when using EZCal.

This can cause damage to the product and voids the

warranty. Thorougly rinse the base with potable water

and make sure no EZCal residues remain in the base!

EZCal is available at selected retail stores.
