CLEANING PROCEDURE
Switch off the device and unplug the power cable from the socket before all maintenance work
•
and after each use.
Never submerge the device in water (this can result in short-circuiting). To clean the device,
•
simply wipe it with a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly.
Descale the humidifier as appropriate for the hardness of the water, but at least once a week:
•
First remove the water tank and clean it with a brush. Descale the water collector (24) in the
base with a standard descaler and then rinse it thoroughly. Make sure no water penetrates
inside. So only fill with descaler/water mixture to a height of 2-3 cm. Reassemble the device
completely before use.
Thoroughly rinse out the water tank on a regular basis.
•
Replace the Descaler Cartridge (20) every 1-2 months as appropriate for the hardness of the
•
water.
Descaler Cartridge and Water Hardness
The life-span of the descaler cartridge is dependent on the hardness of the water. This can be
•
tested using the test strip on the reverse side of this instruction manual.
Unpack the test strip and dip into the water for one second.
•
After approx. one minute, the result can be seen on the measuring strip. Some of the green
•
areas will change their colour to pink. The number of pink areas corresponds to the hardness
of the water.
Example: If there are three pink areas, the water has a hardness of «3».

Tipp: a simple test can be carried out to determine whether the descaler cartridge is
•
functioning correctly. Hold a small mirror in the mist coming out from the unit for a few
seconds. If a white deposit has been left on the mirror (a sign of lime scale), the cartridge
needs to be replaced.
Silver Cube
Before installing the water tank, insert the «Silver Cube» in the base in the position (27) indicated
(the «Silver Cube» is works fitted).
The «Silver Cube» with its patented technology prevents the growth of bacteria and germs in the
water collector. It can be used for a maximum of one season, and must be replaced at the start
of the next heating season (i.e. when the weather becomes cold). Despite using the «Silver Cube»,
you should replace the water on a daily basis.
