CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before any cleaning operation, switch the appliance off and unplug
it.
Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
Apart from the electrical controls and when the unit is off, any
part of the humidifier may be wiped with a soft damp cloth and
buffed with a dry cloth, ensuring the unit is unplugged.
There may be some mineral deposits in the nebulizer, particularly
if the water in your area is hard. This deposit will influence the
humidification process and decrease performance gradually.
HENCE, IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO USE PURIFIED WATER.
Please clean the nebulizer with water and vinegar on a soft cloth
regularly, as follows:
1. Dampen a cloth with vinegar and wipe the nebulizer gently,
until the mineral deposit disappears.
2. Rub down with a dry cloth and remove remains of humidity.
2. Do NOT rub the nebulizer with hard or abrasive objects.
4. Do NOT clean with chemical products.
Clean the inside of the water tank at least once a week, as
follows:
1. Fill the tank with clean water adding a few drops of bleach or
a similar disinfectant, or mild cleaning detergent (not much or
else it will be more difficult to rinse). Close the tank completely
with its cap and shake forcibly.
2. Rinse thoroughly.
Note:
Water accumulated over long periods may create bacteria
and mildew (fungus).
With each change of water the use is recommended to remove
dust and any lime remains on the nebulizer (preferably use a
small soft brush, like a toothbrush).
Do not place the nebulizer directly under the tap to avoid
permanent damage.
Never immerse the unit in water or let water enter the air outlet or
any other openings.
Water must not get inside the base part; should that happen,
take it to an authorized service center before using it again.
