MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
EN
If the water is hard, meaning that it contains too much calcium and magnesium, it may leave a white powder in the
appliance and cause scum to form at the surface of the tank, on the transducer (metal disc producing the ultrasonic
waves), and on the inside walls of the water tank. Scum on the surface of the transducer will prevent the appliance from
operating properly.
We recommend
• Using boiled, cooled water or distilled water for each utilization,
• Cleaning the tank every three days, cleaning the transducer every week,
• Changing the water in the tank often so that it stays fresh – don't leave it for more than two days,
• Cleaning the whole appliance and ascertaining that all the components are perfectly dry when it is not in use.
To clean the transducer
Put 2 to 5 drops of vinegar on the surface and leave it from 2 to 5 minutes.
Brush the scum from the surface with a soft brush. Do not use a hard tool or scratch the surface.
Rinse the transducer with clean water.
Do not use soap or other alkaline substances to clean the transducer.
To clean the tank
Clean the water tank with a soft cloth and vinegar if there is foam OR a calcium deposit in it.
If foam covers the safety switch, put a few drops of vinegar on it and clean it with the brush.
Rinse the tank with clean water.
Storage
Clean and dry the ultrasonic humidifier carefully, complying with the maintenance instructions.
Let it dry completely before storing it. Do not store with water in the base.
Store the appliance in a dry cool place, out of the reach of children.
