PARTS TO BE REPLACED
ION EXCHANGE FILTER
•
A removable ion exchange filter is housed inside the humidifier: its function is to remove the calcium and
magnesium salts normally contained in water, as these may turn into “white dust” if they vaporise and
deposit on furniture, objects and floors.
•
For this reason, it is important to replace this filter regularly.
•
The ion exchange filter may cause the water to assume a tea-like colour in the initial stages of operation.
This effect does not impact the appliance’s safety or performance, although the coloured water should be
replaced with clean water.
REPLACING THE FILTER
•
The ion exchange filter is able to effectively
filter water up to approximately 400 litres. Using
the device beyond this limit will lower its ability
to remove substances that harden the water
(calcium and magnesium).
Consequently, this may generate increased
levels of “white dust”.
•
In standard conditions, the filter must be
replaced after approximately 180 days of use in
the auto mode (warm mist emission mode, for
about 6 hours a day).
•
Depending on the frequency of use and quality
of the water, the filter may require replacement
even sooner than the above-mentioned limit.
Therefore, it is important to monitor the build-up
of limescale deposits.
•
The ion exchange filter is installed on the
bottom of the water tank. To replace the filter,
both the cover and filter must be removed by
rotating them anti-clockwise. Install the new
filter by rotating it clockwise, as shown in the
picture, and put the cover back in place by
rotating it clockwise.
