Zanussi air humidifiers: pros and cons, model range, selection, operation

A correctly chosen humidifier can create a favorable atmosphere in the house and have a positive effect on the well-being of the people living in it. Because of this, the choice of such a technique must be approached with special care, paying attention primarily to higher quality models. An example of such equipment is the Zanussi humidifier.

The Italian company Zanussi appeared at the beginning of the 20th century. Then she acted as a manufacturer of stoves for the kitchen. By the middle of the century, the company was a popular manufacturer of high-quality kitchen items on the European market.

In the 80s, the company was taken over by a large Swedish brand, Electrolux.

Air humidifiers from Zanussi have many functions and are durable. In addition, the ratio of high quality and low price makes the products of this brand the most demanded in the household appliances market.

The disadvantage of air humidifiers of this company is that when the time comes to change the cartridge, problems begin, because parts for equipment are very difficult to find.

• Zanussi ZH 3 Pebble White. It is an ultrasonic humidifier. The service area is 20 m². It can work continuously for half a day. The capacity of the liquid reservoir is 300 ml. It is possible to regulate the intensity of the fan.

• Zanussi ZH2 Ceramico. The difference from the previous model is that the capacity of the liquid reservoir is 200 ml. Water is consumed in the amount of 0.35 liters per hour.

• Zanussi ZH 5.5 ONDE. It is an ultrasonic humidifier serving an area of ​​35 m². The capacity of the liquid container is 550 ml. Water is consumed at an intensity of 0.35 liters per hour. There is a fan regulation.

Choosing equipment for air humidification, it is necessary to pay attention to a number of points.

1. The size of the serviced area... More efficient devices are needed to humidify large areas.
2. Liquid container capacity... If it is too small, then it becomes necessary to pour water into it more often.
3. The strength of the noise (in a room where children live, it is worth choosing models with a low volume level).
4. Product size (dimensional equipment is not suitable for small rooms).

For a humidifier to have a longer service life, it must be cleaned and disinfected.

It is recommended to clean the equipment as follows:

• turn off the device;
• disassemble the device, strictly following the enclosed operating instructions;
• wash the container under running water;
• wipe everything up well;
• collect back.

If mold forms on the walls of the device, it is necessary to disinfect:

• flush according to the scheme indicated above;
• pour a prepared composition of vinegar or hydrogen peroxide into the container;
• clean the container using a brush or sponge;
• collect parts.

The main malfunction that occurs during operation is the lack of steam. To fix this problem it is recommended to first make sure that the equipment is connected to the network, and there is water in the tank. Then you need to listen to the device in the process of its operation: if there is no usual gurgling, then the problem is in the generator or the power board.

To make sure it is ready for use, you need to remove the cover from the device and turn it on for a few minutes. Then turn off and check the electronic board: if the radiator on it is heated, then this indicates that the generator is in good working order - you need to check the membrane.

If the humidifier does not turn on at all, then this may be due to:

• violation of the integrity of the hull;
• malfunction of the fuse in the plug;
• damage to the outlet;
• malfunction of the control board.
• no network connection with the device.

It is recommended that you repair equipment breakdowns yourself only if you have the necessary skills. In the absence of such, the repair should be entrusted to a specialized center.
