Ballu air humidifier: instructions for use

Purpose of an air humidifier. Operating principle of Ballu-Uhb 200.

The Ballu-Uhb 200 air humidifier is designed to maintain a comfortable/user-specified humidity level in a room. Comfortable air humidity levels are considered to be relative humidity in the range of 40-60%. The mechanical control device, that is, whatever humidity parameter the user has set, will be maintained. There is no automatic mode.

The operating principle of Ballu-Uhb 200 is based on “ultrasonic evaporation”: from the water tank there is a small outlet to the vaporization chamber. There, ultrasound acts on a small portion of water, splitting the water into tiny droplets. When these droplets gather, they form a vapor cloud in the chamber. A low-power fan supplies air from the room there. Thus, the water turns into steam, through which air is passed. Humidity adjustment increases/decreases the dose of water that turns into steam.

Ultrasound that splits water cannot be heard by either people or pets. It and its emitting membranes are safe for all living organisms.

Why are humidifiers needed?

Naturally, to increase the humidity level in the room.But why is this? Dry air negatively affects the life of people, animals, and plants:

• It causes the mucous membranes to dry out - lips become dry and cracked, and there is a burning sensation in the eyes.
• It promotes the spread of infections, bacteria, viruses and diseases through airborne droplets
• Causes fatigue, drowsiness, and decreased concentration
• Plants often dry out/die in such air.

In addition, dry air has an increased electrostatic charge and more dust is formed in it - as a result, this damages furniture and negatively affects musical instruments.

How to use a Ballu humidifier. How to properly connect the device. How to fill the water tank.

To fill the water tank:

Remove the reservoir from the sprayer itself, and then remove it from the base of the device. To do this, grab the walls of the unit and pull up. After this, you need to unscrew the cap of the water tank.It unscrews counterclockwise. Next, fill the water tank and insert it back.

Using/connecting the humidifier:

Plug the humidifier into the outlet. In this case, the voltage should be 220 Volts and the frequency 50 Hertz.

If the device has a faulty plug or cable, do not try to plug it into the outlet - it is better to contact a service center. You only need to turn on the humidifier in the correct position - if you connect it upside down, it may break.

Inclusion

To turn on the device, you need to turn the control knob. A green light will light up around it, and after a few seconds steam will begin to come out of the humidifier. You can regulate the speed of steam release by turning the same knob (to the right - more steam, to the left - less).

You can fill the water tank with tap water. All water from the tank passes through a special filter in the form of a cartridge. It softens water, retaining salts and other large elements.

Shutdown

To turn off the device, you need to turn the steam speed control knob to the left until it clicks. After this, the light around the handle will go out, steam will stop coming out of the humidifier and the device will turn off. Finally, unplug the appliance. If you turn off the device by removing the plug from the socket, it can quickly become unusable. Such damage is not covered by the warranty.

When the device runs out of water, the indicator around the control knob begins to glow red. This is done to inform the user that the water in the humidifier has run out. The device itself turns off. When you add water, it will work normally again.
