Errors and faults
The device has been checked for proper functioning several
times during production. If malfunctions occur nonetheless,
check the device according to the following list.
The device does not start:
• Check the power connection.
• Check the power cable and mains plug for damage.
• Check the on-site fusing.
• Check whether the water tank indicator light is illuminated.
The water tank might be empty and need refilling.
• Wait for 10minutes before restarting the device. If the
device is not starting, have the electrics checked by a
specialist company or by Trotec.
The device is running, but there is no formation of mist:
• Check whether the water tank indicator light is illuminated.
The water tank might be empty and need refilling.
• Check the valve in the bottom of the water tank. The valve
must be able to move freely. Clean the water tank if
required.
• Check the float in the lower part of the device. The float
should be able to move freely.
• Check the air filter for dirt. Clean the air filter if required.
• Check the nebulizer intensity setting and increase it if
required.
• Check the nebulizer membrane in the lower part of the
device for dirt and clean it if required.
The water tank is full, but the device indicates an empty
water tank:
• Heavy deposits on the filter may prevent the water from
flowing from the water tank into the bottom section. This
can occur if the device has been out of use for a long time.
Clean the filter as described in the “Cleaning the filter”
section.
• Check the valve in the bottom of the water tank. The valve
must be able to move freely. Clean the valve and water
tank if required.
Water is leaking:
• Check whether the device is set up in a stable and upright
position.
• Check the water level in the lower part of the device. The
water level might be too high and water is discharged via
the overflow.
• Check the valve in the bottom of the water tank. The valve
must be able to move freely. If required, clean the valve as
described in the “Cleaning the valve unit” section.
• Check the float in the lower part of the device. The float
should be able to move freely. It may block and cause
water to be discharged via the overflow.
10 EN
humidifier B 3 E / B 4 E
• Check the device for leaks.
The water mist has a peculiar smell:
• The device is new. Remove and rinse the water tank. Let
the open water tank air for some hours.
• Check the water tank. There may be stale or dirty water in
the water tank. Rinse the water tank and fill it with clear
drinking water.
Condensate forms on the device:
• The air circulation in the room is insufficient. If necessary,
reduce the nebulizer intensity and provide better air
circulation (e.g. using a fan).
• The room's humidity level is quite high. This makes it
difficult for the mist to distribute and leads to water
condensing on the device. If necessary, reduce the
nebulizer intensity or switch off the device.
The device is loud or vibrates heavily:
• Check whether the device is set up in a stable and upright
position.
The device still does not operate correctly after these
checks:
Please contact the customer service. If necessary, bring the
device to an authorised specialist electrical company or to
Trotec for repair.
Table of faults
The following faults can be displayed on the control panel(6):
Error Meaning
The low water levelLED (20)
flashes permanently.
The water level in the water
tank is low.
The low water levelLED (20)
flashes three times in
succession.
The water tank is empty or not
installed correctly. The dry-run
protection has been activated
