INTRODUCTION Congratulations on having bought our high quality aroma tower CLASSIC 100 or 400. Please read carefully the following instructions to safeguard the economic use of your aroma system. The installation, use and maintenance of the aroma tower ASSADA CLASSIC is quite simple. However, we recommend that only qualified service staff are used. Installation should always be done by the distributor's service staff and not by the user AC 100 AC 400 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS The ASSADA CLASSIC aroma tower is a fully-automatic, timer-operated aroma dispensing system for commercial and professional use. Fragrances and aromas are evaporated and distributed by a ventilation system into the air. Thanks to the evaporation system the aroma molecules develop themselves fully and perfectly. The electronic components not only assure the automatic operation of the unit, but also allow for the exact dosing of the aroma intensity in the room. This in return allows for an exact fragrance at the border of perception and therefore does not overcharge rooms with aroma. A green light indicates whether the machine is switched on. 2 The ASSADA CLASSIC aroma tower fills a room with the size of up to 100 m (AC 100) or up to 300 to 400 m (AC 400). Thanks to the easy cleaning system, the aroma can be swiftly changed.

The ventilator has an electric blockage detection system and uses ball-bearings to ensure whisperquiet operation and superb durability. EVAPORATION BOWL (HEATED) The bowl is made from an aluminium body onto which a heating element is mounted to heat the aromatic oil. The aroma oil is pumped and directed according to the timer into the bowl and heated to a maximum temperature of 65° C. The heat helps to dissolve the aroma completely. By heating the aroma, particles are evaporated and dispersed into the room through the ventilator which is controlled by an electronic timer. DIGITAL CONTROL PAD The control pad serves to adjust the different operation modes. These are: — — — — — digital timer for setting daily or weekly fragrance cycles on/off control filling control (also serves as for cleaning) ventilation interval dosing The control pad adjusts the aroma dispersal as well as the cleaning process. 1) HOW TO RESET THE UNIT & CLEAR PREVIOUS SETTINGS Press the following 4 buttons at the same time and hold for 5 seconds: [d] + [clock symbol] + [m] + [hand symbol] 2) HOW TO SET THE CURRENT DAY AND TIME: Press [clock symbol] and keep it pressed. To set the day of the week, press the [d] button until an arrow sits over the correct day (1 is Monday, 2 is Tuesday and so on). Now set the hour by pressing [h] and minute by pressing [m]. Release the [clock symbol] and the clock should run with the current day & time. 3) HOW TO SET A FRAGRANCING CYCLE: SETTING A STANDARD DAILY PROGRAM FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK: It is possible to have the same program every day with 6 fragrancing cycles (6 ON and 6 OFF times). To do this, reset the unit as described above but do not set the correct day. Set the correct time then move on to setting your preferred ON & OFF times, as described below. Since no current day has been set, the program takes effect as soon as it has been set. The unit will begin fragrancing as soon as the first ON time has been reached. SETTING A COMPLETE WEEKLY PROGRAM: It is possible set a fragrancing cycle to occur on a single day, a few days or every day. You can set up to 4 separate cycles. For example, a standard cycle during the week, 2 cycles on Saturday and a short cycle on Sunday. Before you set a weekly program, make sure the current day and time has been set. Attention: After 40 seconds of no activity the unit will automatically exit the programming setting and return to displaying the current time. TO SET ON & OFF TIMES Buttons used: The [Prog] button is used to pick the cycle you wish to set The [hand symbol] is used to confirm a setting The [clock symbol] is used to exit the Programming mode and return to the clock 3A) SETTING THE SAME ON & OFF TIMES FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK Step 1 – Check the current time is correct and no day has been chosen For this standard weekly program it is essential a current day has not been set. The clock should have an arrow over the ‘day’ 1-7. If any other day is set, you will need to reset the clock and re-enter the current time. Step 2 – Select the first cycle on Press [Prog] button. The display shows [-:--1 ] indicating the first fragrancing cycle can be set. Step 3 – Set the time you want the fragrance cycle to start Press [h] to set the hour and [m] to set the minute.

During the cleaning process the pump drives the cleaning liquid ASSADA CIeaner to the evaporation bowl and thus cleans all tubing. The pump is solely controlled by the automatic timer. FRAGRANCE CARTRIDGES The aroma cartridge consists of an aluminium bottle (250 ml for AC 100 and 1000 ml for AC 400) filled with the chosen fragrance (biodegradable essential oils). Once the bottle is empty, or just a little aromatic oil is left, it should be replaced with a new aroma cartridge. Each time the aroma is replaced the unit should be cleaned. Full cleaning instructions are given below. HOW TO INSTALL A FRAGRANCE CARTRIDGE Remove the back cover by placing a finger in the hole and firmly pulling it up and back Carefully open the cartridge and remove the white ring around the neck Screw the cartridge firmly to the black fitting below the evaporator bowl. Replace the back cover CONTINUOUS OPERATION IN THE ‘ON’ MODE Set Ventilator according to size of room: Dial turned to far right - provides strong ventilation for large rooms Dial turned to far left - provides weak ventilation for small rooms Set interval dosing, also according to size of room: Switch turned to far left - automatic dosing of aroma every 10 minutes Switch turned to middle: dosing about every 60 minutes (this is the normal dosing position) Switch turned to far right: dosing only every 130 minutes HOW TO CLEAN THE ASSADA AIR AROMA TOWER CLEAN EVERY 6-8 WEEKS OR WHENEVER THE FRAGRANCE IS CHANGED disconnect the power plug remove back cover remove aroma bottle replace aroma bottle with the special «ASSADA Cleaner» bottle. reconnect the power plug turn dial to FÜLLEN (Fill).

If treated in accordance with this manual, the tower will give you many years of trouble-free service. SOME USEFUL HINTS TRANSPORT The ASSADA CLASSIC aroma tower is supplied fully functional but without aroma bottle. Once the bottle is installed always carry it vertical to prevent leaking of the bottle. If you need to transport the unit over long distances, we recommend removing the fragrance cartridge and cleaning the unit first. PLACEMENT Be sure to place the aroma tower on a flat surface to prevent accidental knocking over and therefore leaking of liquid. Undiluted aroma oil can damage surfaces POSITIONING The aroma tower should be positioned in an area of unrestricted air flow. It is worth trying a few positions to see which one offers the best flow of fragranced air either throughout a room or towards a target audience. In a retail shop the unit may be directed towards a door, accepting a certain loss of fragrance to ensure customers receive the full benefit on entering the premises. Assada provide a wide range of fragrances. You might wish to try a new fragrance to suit the season or event. For example, a special fragrance during the Christmas season or during a heatwave. We are always happy to offer advise on the best aroma for your circumstances. Avoid contact of skin or eyes with the fragrance oil. Our fragrances are undiluted essential oils and can be an irritant. If it gets in the eyes, seek medical advice. If it touches the skin, rinse thoroughly with clean water to prevent irritation and seek medical advice if a strong reaction occurs. In case of a spill onto a hard surface, wipe immediately with a cloth. Essential oils may stain both hard surfaces and fabrics. Keep all aromas stored securely and keep hidden from children.
