Frequently Asked Questions
DEAR VENTA AIRWASHER CUSTOMER:
We thank you for the condence you have placed in the Venta
Airwasher. We are convinced that you will appreciate your Venta
Airwasher‘s trouble-free operation, its ease of cleaning and sturdy,
simple technology. The following questions and answers will help you
to fully understand the unique Venta Airwasher technology.
HOW DOES THE VENTA AIRWASHER HUMIDIFY?
The Venta Airwasher operates by the process of cold evaporation;
you will not see any white residue, vapors or mists. The disc stack
rotates in the water creating a surface area of 2.5 m². When dry air
meets the surface area of the disc stack, the water evaporates and
is sent out into the room. By using the cold evaporation process,
any excess humidity can be virtually ruled out.
HOW DOES THE VENTA AIRWASHER PURIFY?
Airborne particles, such as dust, pollen, and smoke are drawn in
and passed over the rotating disc stack. The particles adhere to the
wet disk stack and are pulled down into the water. Water evapo-
rates; dirt and dust do not evaporate. The collected particles remain
on the bottom of the lower housing and can be rinsed/wiped out
every 10-14 days.
CAN PARTICLES OR EVEN HYGIENE DISC COMPOUNDS ENTER THE
ROOM AIR WITH THE AIRWASHER SYSTEM?
The Airwasher uses the well-known, highly eective principle of
cold evaporation. Cold evaporation technology prevents particles
or aerosols from being released into room air. As proof of this state-
ment, the TÜV Nord was requested to carry out tests. The TÜV Nord
conrmed in these tests that no aerosols capable of entering the
lungs were released into the room air, regardless of whether or not a
Hygiene Additive was used.
HOW QUICKLY IS DRY ROOM AIR HUMIDIFIED?
In the rst few days, the evaporated water is absorbed by many dry
objects (e.g. books, wooden furniture, textiles, owers etc.). Only
then can your room air be optimally humidied.
WHAT CAN BE DONE AGAINST COLD TOBACCO SMOKE?
The Airwasher achieves its optimal eect if it is run continuously
over night at the highest performance setting after the smoking has
nished. By the next morning, the room air will be cleaned of any
unpleasant, cold smoke and odours.
WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE FOR THE VENTA AIRWASHER?
If possible the Venta Airwasher should be placed in the center of the
room, or along a wall away from windows and a heat source. When
using your Venta Airwasher for multiple rooms it should be placed
centrally between rooms. This means a minimum distance of 0.5 m
above the device and 0.2 m on all sides to walls, furniture etc.
WHAT IS THE OPTIMAL RUNTIME OF THE AIRWASHER?
That depends on the individual requirements. The longer the device
is operated, the more extensive the humidication and cleaning
eect. It is not possible to create too much humidication.
WHAT IS THE CORRECT WAY TO VENTILATE THE ROOM?
We recommend to briey air out the room several times a day.
(Intermittent ventilation – windows that are always open signicantly
reduce the cleaning and humidication eect.)
CAN THE DEVICE RUN FOR 24 HOURS A DAY?
Yes, the device is suitable for continuous operation. Extremely low
power consumption: less than 20 watt at the highest level.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE DEVICE DOESN‘T HAVE ENOUGH WATER?
(ONLY FOR LW60T, LW60T WIFI, LW62T WIFI)
As soon as there is not enough water in the water tray, the Airwasher
switches o automatically. If the yellow “Fill Tank” indicator appears
in the display, this means that there is still enough water in the water
tray (water tank is empty). Air humidication/air purication is still ta-
king place. If the “Fill Tank” indicator glows red, no air humidication/
air purication is taking place, because there is not enough water in
the water tray.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE DEVICE IS NOT USED FOR A LONGER TIME?
The device can be put back in operation at any time, without a
problem. In order to prevent remaining lime-scale sediment in the
tray and in the tank ( LW60T, LW60T WiFi, LW62T WiFi only) from
hardening, it should be emptied and cleaned before a longer period
of not using the device.
HOW CAN I CLEAN THE AIRWASHER?
We recommend emptying the remaining water from the water tank
(LW60T, LW60T WiFi, LW62T WiFi only) and the water basin every
10-14 days. Please clean the water basin, the water tank and the
disc stack under owing water.
The device features an automatic intensive cleaning program
(duration approx. 4 h). For the cleaning process, please use a bottle
(250 ml) of Venta Cleaner. The indication regarding the execution
of the intensive cleaning program appears in red on the display:
“Cleaning”. Please follow the directions on the display.
The cleaning process can be carried out via the “Cleaning” button at
any time.
HOW DOES THE AIR HUMIDITY DISPLAY WORK?
The Humidier is equipped with an integrated air humidity sensor.
The current relative humidity from 20 % to 99 % is shown in the
middle of the display. The accuracy of the air humidity display is
approx. ±3 %. It takes a little while for the humidity in the room to be
measured.
HOW CAN I CHECK IF THE AIR HUMIDITY SENSOR IS WORKING?
Use a hair dryer to blow air into the humidity sensor. After a while,
the humidity in the display will drop. This shows that the humidity
sensor is working properly.
HOW CAN I SET THE DESIRED AIR HUMIDITY?
The desired air humidity can be set in the “Humidity” eld in 5%
increments from 30 - 70 %. Once the set air humidity is reached,
the disc stack no longer turns and no humidication and purication
takes place.
WHAT DOES THE GREEN CIRCLE IN THE COMFORT ZONE DISPLAY
MEAN?
If the white circle is inside the green circle, then the relative humidity
and room temperature are in the feel-good range.
DOES THE DEVICE HAVE AN AUTOMATIC MODE?
Yes, the so-called “Auto Mode”. In this mode, the device automati-
cally regulates the ventilator levels, so that the optimal humidity of
50% is reached. Once the optimal humidity is reached, the device
automatically reduces the ventilator level.
CAN THE DEVICE BE SWITCHED OFF AUTOMATICALLY AFTER A
SPECIFIED TIME?
The device has a “Timer” function to set a specied time of 1 / 3 /
5 / 7 or 9 hours. After the set number of hours have elapsed, the
device switches o automatically.
DOES THE DEVICE HAVE A NIGHT MODE?
The Airwasher has a night mode, the so-called “Sleep Mode”. When
this is activated, the device reduces the ventilator level to 1 and dims
the display. A manual change in the strength of the ventilator levels is
possible in night mode at any time.
