INITIAL USE

Open the cardboard packaging.
Now remove all plastic films.
Check the device, mains plug and cable for damage.

Clean Before Using for the First Time

For reasons of hygiene, we recommend rinsing the water tank and pad thoroughly with cold water before using for the first time. Then proceed as described in the “Cleaning the device” section of chapter 8 “Cleaning and storage”.

Filling the Tank

Fill the tank when putting the appliance into operation for the first time or if the red indicator is illuminated, indicating that the water level is too low.

Only ever use fresh tap water to fill the tank. If the tap water is very hard, you can use demineralised or distilled water.
Never put any additives into the water.
Make sure that the tank catch with seal on the base of the water tank is tightly fastened before putting the appliance into operation.
Remove the cover from the air humidifier.
Pull the water tank out of the air humidifier using the handles. Unscrew the tank catch from the tank.
Rinse out the water tank with clean water.
Fill the water tank with cold tap water.
Screw the tank catch onto the water tank. Place the water tank in the air humidifier.
Place the cover on top of the air humidifier.

Air Humidifier Placement

Place the appliance so that the steam nozzle is not pointing directly at a wall. The exiting moisture might otherwise cause damage to walls, particularly to wallpaper.
Place the air humidifier on a firm, even, water-resistant surface.

USAGE

Check the humidity of your ambient air regularly. Intensive continuous operation can cause the ambient air to become excessively humid. The relative air humidity should not exceed 60%.

Switching On the Device

Never switch on the air humidifier without the water tank or steam tower.
Insert the plug into the mains socket.
Press the ON/OFF button to switch on the air humidifier. The green indicator is illuminated.
Before the steam starts exiting: Rotate the steam nozzle so that the steam exits in the required direction.
After a few minutes, the appliance starts to give off steam. The green indicator is illuminated while the appliance is switched on and connected to the mains.

Selecting the Amount of Steam

Select the amount of steam using the steam button.

Level I: Minimum steam (approx. 200 ml/h).
Level II: Maximum steam (approx. 400 ml/h).

After a few minutes, the appliance alters the amount of steam generated.

Switching Off the Appliance

The appliance is suitable for continuous operation. We recommend, however, that it is not operated for any length of time without supervision (night operation).
When the water tank is empty, the device switches into idle mode.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Your air humidifier should be cleaned and descaled regularly in order to ensure that residue from the water such as limescale does not accumulate in the appliance. Only if the air humidifier is carefully maintained can we guarantee maximum steam output, hygiene and a long service life. The following table lists all the measures necessary:

Before Cleaning and Descaling

Unplug the Appliance:

Switch off the appliance with the ON/OFF button. The green indicator light goes out.
Pull the plug out from the wall socket and wait at least 15 minutes until the air humidifier has entirely cooled.

Disassemble the Appliance:

Remove the cover from the air humidifier.
Pull the water tank out of the air humidifier using the handles. Unscrew the tank catch from the tank.
Pull up the steam tower out of the air humidifier. Remove the steam nozzle from the steam tower.
Remove the pad from the hot water chamber.

Clean Individual Parts:

Wash the pad with clean water. You can remove stubborn limescale by first putting the pad in a weak vinegar solution. If the pad is hard and rigid, it must be replaced (see next section 3 “Changing the pad”).
Clean the following individual parts of the appliance thoroughly with washing-up liquid and warm water. Any residue from cleaning agents should be thoroughly removed.
- Tank and tank catch. When cleaning the tank catch, do not damage the valve.
- Steam tower and steam nozzle.
- Cover.

Changing the Pad

Pads are obtainable from the service address or from the authorised dealer.
Remove the worn pad from the hot water chamber. Dispose of the pad in the household refuse.
If there is any water left in the appliance, pour it out.
Use a new pad.
Wash out the new pad with clean water and put it in the hot water chamber.

Descale the Air Humidifier

Never try to remove any limescale deposit with pointed or sharp objects. This might damage the air humidifier or cause it to leak.
Use either a citric acid solution (30 g pure citric acid powder dissolved in 1 l water) or a vinegar solution (household vinegar with 5% acid content mixed with water in a ratio of 1:2) as a descaling solution.
Fill the hot water chamber up to the brim with descaling solution.
Leave the descaling solution to work until the limescale has dissolved.
Pour away the descaling solution. Tip the appliance sideways to remove the descaling solution.
Rinse out the appliance thoroughly with clean water.
Repeat this procedure if necessary.

After Cleaning and Descaling

Insert the Pad

Put the cleaned pad or replacement pad into the hot water chamber.

Assemble the Appliance

Put the steam tower back into the air humidifier. Press the steam nozzle into the opening at the top of the steam tower.
Screw the tank catch onto the water tank. Place the water tank in the air humidifier.
Place the cover on top of the air humidifier.

Troubleshooting the Beurer Air Humidifier LB 55: Common Issues and Fixes

Encountering problems with your Beurer Air Humidifier LB 55? Start with basic checks. If no mist appears, ensure the water tank is full and properly seated—refill the 6L tank and restart via the on/off button. Red LED illuminates? This signals low water; automatic shut-off activates for safety—add water and power on again.

For reduced output, clean limescale using included pads or mild vinegar solution weekly to prevent buildup, especially in hard water areas. Overheating? Built-in protection pauses operation; unplug for 30 minutes and ensure vents are clear. Noisy operation may indicate mineral deposits—disinfect regularly as per manual for hygienic performance. Preventive measures: Use distilled water, empty tank after use, and avoid continuous unsupervised runs longer than recommended.

Remove the tank, refill with cold tap water, ensuring the tank catch seal is tight, then reinsert. Restart by pressing ON/OFF—green LED confirms operation. Regularly check water to prevent interruptions during humidification up to 50m² rooms.[1][2][3]

How do I clean and maintain the beurer Air Humidifier LB 55 properly?

Regular cleaning ensures hygienic operation of the **beurer Air Humidifier LB 55**. Unplug and cool for 15 minutes. Empty and rinse the 6L tank with fresh water. Use included anti-lime pads or follow manual disinfection instructions to prevent buildup. Wipe the base and steam nozzle. Avoid children handling maintenance. Clean weekly for steam evaporation tech, especially in hard water areas, to maintain 400 ml/h performance and avoid faults.[1][3][6]

What are the two steam levels on the beurer Air Humidifier LB 55 and how to use them?

The **beurer Air Humidifier LB 55** features two steam speeds: level 1 (200 ml/h, low steam) for gentle humidification, and level 2 (400 ml/h, high output) for faster moisture in up to 50m² rooms. After powering on (green LED), press the steam button to toggle. Rotate the adjustable nozzle for optimal direction before steaming starts. Use low for overnight, high for quick relief—auto off prevents overuse. Ideal for dry air issues without supervision for extended periods.[1][2][3]

Is the beurer Air Humidifier LB 55 suitable for rooms larger than 50 square meters?

The **beurer Air Humidifier LB 55** is designed for rooms up to 50m² with its 400 ml/h max humidification from a 6L tank. For larger spaces, it may underperform—consider multiple units or higher-capacity models. Position centrally on a flat surface for even steam distribution via rotatable nozzle. Monitor with a separate hygrostat to avoid over-humidification, which can damage furniture or promote dust. Optimal for medium bedrooms or living areas.[2][3]

Can I use essential oils or additives in the beurer Air Humidifier LB 55 water tank?

Do not add essential oils, scents, or chemicals to the **beurer Air Humidifier LB 55** 6L tank—use only cold tap water for hygienic steam evaporation.

If persists, consult manual or support—ensures safe 400 ml/h performance.[1][2][3]

The **beurer Air Humidifier LB 55** 6L tank lasts 15-30 hours depending on steam level: ~30 hours on low (200 ml/h) for overnight use, ~15 hours on high (400 ml/h) for quick humidification in 50m² rooms. Water level indicator and red LED alert when low, auto shutting off. Refill with cold water promptly. Place on firm surface for stability. Weekly cleaning extends runtime by preventing mineral buildup.[1][2][3]
