CLEANING PROCEDURE
•
Switch off the device and unplug the power cable from the socket before all maintenance work

simply wipe it with a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly. Always ensure the power cable has
been unplugged beforehand.
•
Descale the humidifier as appropriate for the hardness of the water, but at least once a week:
open and lift off lid (2) and remove water tank (3). Then remove cover for heating plate (8). Clean
both parts with a brush. Descale the heating plate with non-stick coating with a standard descaler
and then rinse it thoroughly. Reassemble the device completely with parts (2-4, 8) before use.
•
Thoroughly rinse out the water tank on a regular basis.
