• Daily: Fill the appliance with fresh, cold tap water. If the appliance is not
used for several days, empty the water from the lower part (6) beforehand
and if necessary, clean it with a bit of dish detergent and a clean cloth.
Fill fresh water into the lower part (6) before putting the appliance back
into operation.
• Regularly as required: To clean the outside, rub with a damp cloth and
then dry thoroughly.
• If you have hard water (with a high lime content), a white coating will build
up on the inside of the upper part. This coating consists of very fine lime-
scale particles that you can wipe off easily with a cloth or microfibre cloth.
• If there are marks caused by water and/or fragrances on the upper part
(10), clean it with a damp cloth and a squirt of washing-up liquid. Then dry
the upper part thoroughly before using the appliance again. Alternatively,
you can put the top part in the dishwasher.
• Internal cleaning: You can clean the ultrasonic membrane with a con-
ventional household descaler. If there are lime deposits, we recommend
that you use Stadler Form Cleaner & Descaler (www.stadlerform.com/
accessories). Alternatively, you can use a household descaling
agent or vinegar. Please do not try to scratch off deposits from the mem-
brane with a hard object. For stubborn deposits, we recommend that you
descale the device several times in a row. After the descaling rinse the
base and then dry thoroughly.
• No water may enter the air outlet opening (9). This will damage the appli-
ance and will void any claim to the warranty.
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.
• In the event of a repair, the following points must be observed before the
appliance is shipped or taken to the dealer: completely empty the water
in the appliance (water tray or water tank), and allow the appliance to dry
completely. Appliances containing residual water may be damaged during
transport, invalidating the warranty.
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 appli-
ance it must be separately collected. Consumers should contact their local
authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their
