Weekly cleaning:
How to clean the appliance outer surface:
Clean the appliance outer surface with a soft
damp cloth using water and standard washing
up liquid. Do not use abrasive products, harsh
detergents, alcohol, solvents or similar pro-
ducts, which may cause permanent damage to
the appliance outer surface.
Cleaning the water tank
During normal use of the appliance, the salts
contained in the water could cause the forma-
tion of scale residues on the transducer and
water tank (5). The formation of scale residues
could take place more or less quickly, depen-
ding on the type of water, its hardness and
frequency of use of the appliance. The harder
the water, the quicker the formation of scale
residues.
Scale residues decrease performance and even
prevent the appliance from operating, so they
should be removed at least once a week.
After cleaning the appliance daily following
the instructions above, it is therefore recom-
mended to descale the appliance, at least once
a week, as indicated below:
• Repeat the operations indicated in the "Daily
cleaning" paragraph.
• Prepare a solution of water (preferably distil-
led) and white vinegar in equal parts, and fill
the water tank (5) with the solution. Leave
the solution in place for at least 4 hours
(even better if overnight).
• Rinse thoroughly and repeatedly with drin-
king water and dry gently using a soft cloth.
If necessary, repeat the operation until all the
scale residues have been removed.
Warning!!
• Never place the appliance under running
water
• If the humidifier is not used for a long period,
dry the water tank (5) and the transducer af-
ter cleaning.
• Do not wet the electric power cable or air
vent.
• Do not allow water to enter the top section
of the nebulising unit; if this should happen,
have it checked by a retailer or qualified tech-
nician before using it.
• Do not scratch the transducer with any to-
ols. Do not clean with chemical or abrasive
products.
