remove the fragrance container before refilling to prevent water getting
into it. Should this nevertheless occur, it will be necessary to remove the
water container (2) and rinse it. Fragrances should not be permitted to
enter the water tank, since they might destroy the plastic.
Important information
Humidification with an evaporator takes time. This means that it usually
takes more than 2–3 hours to reach the desired humidity. If you operate the
humidifier in a very dry environment we recommend to operate it on speed
level 2 to reach a maximum amount of humidity in a short time.
Cleaning and cassette replacement
Prior to any maintenance work and after each use, switch off the appliance
and withdraw the mains cable from the socket.
Never immerse in water (risk of short circuit).
• External surfaces should only be wiped off with a damp cloth and then
dried well.
• Every 2 weeks: To clean the inside, remove the filter cassette and
descale the lower part if necessary. After descaling, thoroughly rinse the
lower part and then dry it before putting the air humidifier into operation
again.
• For hygienic and optimum operation of the air humidifier, the filter cas-
sette should be replaced at least every two months. If the filter cassette
remains in use for longer than this, on the one hand the humidity output
may decline severely and on the other, the anti-bacterial action of the
cassette can no longer be guaranteed. The filter cassette can be obtained
from the dealer where you purchased your Oskar little.
Ionic Silver Cube ™
The Ionic Silver Cube (13) prevents the growth of germs and bacteria in the
humidifier due to the continuous release of silver ions. The use of the Ionic
Silver Cube leads to a hygienic room climate. The lifetime of the Ionic Silver
Cube is around one year. We therefore recommend that you replace the Ion-
ic Silver Cube at the beginning of every humidifying season. The Ionic Silver
Cube starts working as soon as it comes into contact with water, and also
works when the unit is switched off.

through the cable and hand it in at the collection point provided for the
