Should the water tank be empty, a threefold acoustic signal sounds. The corre-
sponding
symbol lights up in the display while the remaining indicators go
out. The appliance will automatically stop humidifying. In this case, turn off the
appliance with the ON / OFF button. Let the appliance cool down before pouring
any more water in the tank.
•
Caution: The appliance and the water in the nebulisation chamber might be very
hot. When lifting the appliance or removing the water tank right after operation
you risk scalding yourself with the hot water!
•
Ensure that the water tank is always completely refilled.

•
Always switch off the appliance and pull the power plug before cleaning.
•
Let appliance cool down completely.
•
Regularly clean the water tank using clean water (at least twice a week). Should
there be lime deposits in the water tank, add decalcifier suitable for air humidi-
fiers to the rinse water. Follow the directions on the bottle.
•
Clean the outside of the appliance with a soft, slightly moist towel and, if nec-
essary, some mild dishwashing liquid. Never dip the appliance in water and do
not spray it with water or other liquids.

Caution: Always let the appliance cool down completely
before cleaning the nebuliser, the heating element and
the nebuliser chamber.
•
Pour the water remaining in the appliance out fol-
lowing the direction of the arrow (the arrow on the
floor of the nebuliser chamber).
•
Clean the nebuliser chamber, the nebuliser mem-
brane and the heating element once a week with a
soft brush and water mixed with a little amount of
mild dishwashing liquid. Rinse everything with clear
water and then dry everything with a towel.
Should your water be so hard that white limestone deposits, which could
not be removed with water and dishwashing liquid, form on the heating
element and on the nebuliser membrane in spite of the descaling cartridge,
you should clean both with some water and a descaling agent suitable for
humidifiers.
•
Put a small amount of descaling agent suitable for humidifiers on the heating
element and the nebuliser membrane and take note of the instructions on the
bottle. Then, fill both with water and let everything sit for 10 –15 minutes.
•
Then use a soft brush to remove the limestone.
•
Rinse nebuliser chamber, nebuliser membrane and heating element twice with
water.
Caution: Do not pour water directly into the nebuliser chamber except when
cleaning it!
Never use aggressive or scouring detergents or sponges – these might scratch the
surface and damage the nebuliser membrane.
