• This cleaning routine should also be carried out if the device has
not been used for a longish period of time and prior to using
for the first time.
• In the case of infectious illnesses, the device must be disinfected
every day or all attachments must be sterilised. You can also use
alcohol or other common alcohol-based disinfectant sprays.
Make sure that no disinfectant residues are left behind on the
attachments to ensure safe inhalation when next used.
• You may also use boiling water or a vaporizer (see instructions
of vaporizer) to disinfect. Put the detachable parts into a pan
with boiling for about 15 minutes. Pay attention that the parts
do not come in contact with the pan bottom, e.g. by using a
sieve.
• Allow all parts to dry thoroughly for about 4 to 5 hours on a
cloth. Additionally the nebulizer unit should be agitated several
times to remove drops of water from the mesh.
• After using the device for salt solution inhalation, salt crystals
may form as a residue on the fine gauze of the atomiser, which
may damage the gauze. In order to avoid this, we recommend
you to operate the device with clean water immediately after
use (roughly 1 min), thus rinsing out the salt solution.
• If the nebulisation intensity decreases after alkaline/mineral
fluids have been used, the device must be descaled. Mix one
drop of vinegar with one teaspoon of water and place the
mixture in the active agent tank. Start the device for approx.
three minutes. Empty out any remaining fluid. Remove the
active agent tank with nebulization unit from the device and
rinse with fresh water thoroughly.
• Always make sure the nebulizer unit and active ingredient tank
are properly dried out.
• If there is medicine solution or dirt on the gold contacts
between the device and the nebulizer unit, clean them with a
cotton bud soaked in ethyl alcohol.
