Cleaning
Regular cleaning is essential to ensure hygienic,
problem-free operation. Non-observance of the
following cleaning recommendations can lead to
the growth of micro organisms, including algae, bacteria
and mould. This can in turn cause respiratory problems and
other illnesses.
It is essential to clean the humidifier when the appliance
contains water and has not been in operation for a week.
Always switch off the appliance and unplug
before cleaning the appliance. Never immerse
the housing in water or other liquids (28)!
Cleaning – daily
Switch off the appliance and remove the plug
from the mains socket (29).
• Lift the water tank and the housing from the appliance
and remove the evaporating mat (30).
• Thoroughly rinse the water tank and the water tray.
Remove any deposits with a cloth or a plastic or
wooden brush (31). Dry the appliance parts with a
hand towel.
• Put the parts back together in their original position
(32) (also described in the chapter «Putting into
operation») and fill the tank with cool tap water as
described in the chapter «Filling the tank».
• In order to prolong the operational life of the evapo-
rating mat, we recommend that you turn it around
every time to refill with water.
Do not wash out the evaporating mat – risk of
damage (33)!
