Maintenance and cleaning
a) General information
• Never use aggressive detergents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions, as these could damage the
housing or even impair the functioning of the product.
•
Unplug the humidifier from the mains socket.
•
A dry, soft and clean cloth is sufficient for cleaning. Do not press too hard on the housing, as this can lead
to scratch marks.
• Dust can be easily removed using a soft and clean long-haired brush and a vacuum cleaner.
•
Do not place the humidifier or any of its components in a dishwasher.
•
Never submerge the humidifier under water or allow water to enter the holes on the side of the appliance.
b) Removing limescale deposits
•
If the water in your area is very hard, limescale deposits may form inside the humidifier. This may lead to a
gradual drop in the amount of mist produced. To avoid impaired function, clean the vaporiser regularly with
water and vinegar. Do not use ammonia-based cleaning agents. You are advised to clean the vaporiser
each time you refill the tank using a small, fine brush such as a toothbrush. Follow the steps below to clean
the vaporiser using a fine cloth:
- Empty the tank. Dampen the cloth with vinegar and carefully rub the vaporiser (located above the control
wheel) until the limescale deposits have been removed.
- Wipe the vaporiser dry with a dry cloth. If necessary, leave the vaporiser to dry.
• Clean the water tank at least once per week. Proceed as follows:
- Fill the water tank with clean water and add a few drops of bleach or disinfectant.
- Replace the lid and shake the contents of the tank. Empty the contents of the tank and rinse it 2 to 3
times with clean water.
Fungi and bacteria may multiply if water is left in the tank for long periods. These germs will then
be released into the air together with the mist and may cause health problems.
Storage
•
Use the packaging box to store the humidifier.
•
Empty any water from the tank. Clean the humidifier and all its components, and then wipe them dry.
• Leave the water tank lid loose or remove it completely to prevent it from becoming stuck to the tank.
