A specially matched anti-bacteria protection system ISS (Ionic Silver Stick)
prevents the formation of germs in the water bath. It is therefore not necessary to
use chemical additives to disinfect the water.
Important safety instructions
– Prior to using the air washer, read through the instructions for use completely
and retain in a safe place for later reference.
– WARNING – Only use the air washer indoors and within the specified technical
data. Improper use can be hazardous for the health and lead to critical injury.
– Place appliance where it is not easily knocked over by persons in the house-
hold.
– Always unplug when not in use.
– Do not run power cords under carpets, and do not cover with throw rugs.
Arrange cord such that it will not be tripped over.
– Do not use the appliance where combustible gases or vapors are present.
– Do not expose the appliance to rain, or use near water, in a bathroom, laundry
area or other damp location.
– This unit must be used in its upright position.
– Do not allow foreign objects to enter ventilation or exhaust opening as this
may cause electric shock or damage to the appliance. Do not block air outlets
or intakes.
– This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce risk of shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reserve the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety
feature.
– A loose fit between the plug and the AC outlet (receptacle) may cause
overheating and a distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to
replace loose or worn receptacles.
– Do not sit, stand or place any heavy objects on the appliance.
– Disconnect power supply before servicing.
Appliance description
The AOS 1355N air washer
– Washes and humidifies the air without filter mats,
– Operates quietly at two power settings,
– Is suitable for rooms of up to 600 sq ft in size,
– Is manufactured from high quality, long life components.
Inside the air washer, special humidification discs rotate through a water bath;
during this process, the air flowing past the discs is cleaned of contaminants in a
natural manner – in the same way that the air is washed clean by rain in nature.
Humidification is performed using the self-regulating cold evaporation principle.
The air washer thus produces an optimal level of humidity without the need for
additional control equipment.
