3.2 Cleaning the housing and the wet area
Only use mild cleaning agents to clean your humidifier.
Rinse the water tank carefully and wipe it from the outside with a damp cloth.
Now carefully clean the round black ultrasonic water
steam unit in the lower part of your machine. To do this,
first remove the steam shaft by turning it slightly to the left
to release it from the water tank (see fig. right).
Notes: In the case of hard water (the tap water contains
too much calcium and magnesium), limescale deposits
can occur in the humidifier and especially in the area of
the evaporator and the water vapour unit and these can
lead to impairment of the functioning. We therefore recommend that you
Clean the evaporator and the ultrasonic water vapour unit every week.
Change the water in the water tank regularly to keep it fresh.
The ultrasonic evaporator is located at the bottom of the water tank (in the lower part
of the humidifier). You can see it very well by removing the steam shaft. The
evaporator itself is round, has a diameter of approx. 4 cm and is made of dark
ceramic.
Clean the evaporator as follows:
a.) Add 5-10 drops of a suitable cleaning agent (e.g. Dimanin A*
available at any
pharmacy*
) to the surface of the vaporiser or also to the rest of the lower area of
the water tank and wait a few minutes.
b.) Then carefully wipe off any flakes of dirt (limescale) from the surfaces with a soft
sponge or the enclosed brush.
Note: Never clean the vaporiser with objects made of metal or blunt material! This
would damage the vaporiser.
c.) Finally, rinse the vaporiser / water cup well with clear water and refit the steam
shaft.
