tips to avoid scale
- Use cold boiled, filtered or distilled water. Make sure that the water
temperature does not exceed 40ºC.
- Clean the tank cover, the water tank, the steam generator and the
water basin every week.
- Fill the water tank with fresh water every time you use the humidifier.
- Clean all parts of the humidifier, empty the water tank and the water
basin and dry all parts with a soft, dry cloth when you are not going to
use your humidifier for a long time.
Descaling the humidifier
1 Disconnect the humidifier from the mains and set the on/off knob to
'off'.
 Fill the water basin with 100ml of vinegar (4% acetic acid) per 200ml
of water).
Leave the water and vinegar in the water basin for at least 4 hours
(preferably overnight).
 Empty the water basin and remove the scale with a soft cloth.
 Put some white vinegar (4% acetic acid) on the steam generator and
then wipe away the vinegar with a moist cloth.
5 Rinse all parts with clean water.
Environment
- Do not throw away the appliance with the normal household waste
at the end of its life, but hand it in at an official collection point for
recycling. By doing this, you help to preserve the environment.
