Foreword Congratulations on purchasing the AIROSWISS 2055 / AIROSWISS 2055D Air Washer! Did you know that excessively dry indoor air • dries out mucous membranes and causes chapped lips and stinging eyes? • promotes infections and diseases of the respiratory tract? • leads to weariness, tiredness and poor concentration? • is a burden on pets and houseplants? • promotes the formation of dust and increases the electrostatic charge of textiles made from synthetic fibers, carpets and synthetic floors? • damages furnishings made from wood, especially parquet floors? • makes musical instruments go out of tune? General The indoor climate is generally pleasant when the relative humidity is between 40 and 60%. Air humidification is especially sensible in winter, but does not replace the regular airing of living spaces. en 5 1 3 7 6 9 2 4 8 en How it works Your appliance • washes and humidifies the air without using filter mats • works quietly in two operation modes • is manufactured from highquality, longlife components. • has a large cleansing capacity through preionization. The individual dust particles are ionized (charged) and stick to the humidifier discs. Special humidifying discs rotate in a water bath inside the unit; this cleanses the air passing over them of impurities in a natural way – in the same way that air is washed by the rain in nature. The air humidification takes place according to the selfregulating principle of cold evaporation. The appliance therefore generates ideal air humidity, without the need for additional control units. A specially tuned antibacterial protection system (Ionic Silver Stick®) prevents the formation of germs in the water of the base unit. No chemical additives are therefore required to keep the water clean. Unpacking • Remove the appliance carefully from the packaging (10 – 12). The top section is only placed on the base; it is NOT attached. • Remove the plastic bag from the unit (13). • Check the details of the electrical s...
