Cleaning

the unit every six months. The cartridge retains calcium and mineral particles, thus
preventing such substances from being emitted with the vapor and causing white
deposits on furniture etc.
Caution: When cleaning the appliance, never use window cleaner, furniture polish,
thinner, hot water over 50 degrees celcius.
