4.  Empty the water container and rinse it out under 

running water. 

5.  Remove the limescale by wiping it out with a soft 

cloth. Should stubborn limescale residue remain, 

we recommend 

fi

 lling the water container with an 

ordinary household descaler or a weak vinegar solu-

tion and leave to stand for some time. Then rinse 
the container very thoroughly under running water.

6.  Rinse the sealing cap and the air control under 

running water.

7.  Leave all components to dry completely in the air.

You can clean the water container, the air control and 

the sealing cap in the dishwasher up to a tempera-
ture of 60°C. However, we recommend cleaning them 

under running water to ensure that food remains from 

the dishwasher are not deposited on them.

The user does not have to perform any technical 

maintenance or chemical or thermal disinfection 
on the humidi

fi

 er.
