room humidity being higher than the value you have set. You may then
gradually reduce the hygrostat. When the pilot lamps go out, you have
reached the ambient room humidity. If the air humidifier switches off
automatically while in operation, the desired room humidity has been
reached. The air humidifier resumes operation when the room humidity
falls below the preset value.
5. If the appliance is filled with a sufficient amount of water and stops nev-
ertheless, start the descaling process (see cleaning).
Cleaning
Before servicing the humidifier and after each occasion of use, switch off
the appliance and unplug the mains cable from the socket.
• Attention: Never immerse the appliance in water (danger of short-
circuit).
• To clean the appliance, only wipe it down with a damp cloth and then dry
it carefully. Always take out the mains plug first.
• Descale the air humidifier depending on the lime content, but at least
once a week: Remove the steam tube (7), open the cover (8) using the
opening aid and lift it off, remove the water tank (9). Then remove the
cover for the heating plate (10) and the sealing (13). Clean both parts with
a brush. Descale the anti-limescale ball (14) and the heating plate with the
anti stick coating using a commercial descaler and rinse well afterwards.
Reassemble appliance completely with all parts (8-12) before reusing it.
• Rinse the water tank well at regular intervals.
Repairs
• Repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by a qualified
electrical technician. If improper repairs are carried out, the warranty
lapses and all liability is refused.
• Never operate the appliance if the adaptor or plug is damaged, after it has
malfunctioned, if it has been dropped or has been damaged in any other
way (cracks/breaks in the casing).
• Do not push any object into the appliance.
• If the appliance is beyond repair, make it unusable immediately by cutting
through the cable and hand it in at the collection point provided for the
purpose.
Disposal
The European directive 2012 / 19 / CE on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must
not be disposed in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appli-
ances must be collected separately in order to optimize the recovery and
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human
health and the environment. The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the
product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of
the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers should
contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning
the correct disposal of their old appliance.
