8. Cleaning of the evaporation chamber
Pour out any remaining water and scale that is on the bottom of the container
To clean out the remaining scale from the container, use a stiff brush (synthetic filament only) and some vinegar
or any weak acid for cleaning stainless steel.
WARNING
: The use of wire brush or any non-recommended acid will void the warranty.
If the amount of scale to remove is very important, the service demand frequency is too low for the quality of
supply water, you should then adjust this service demand frequency (see section 9.2
– Programming). Too
much scale may impair the normal operation of the humidifier or damage it; in this case warranty will be voided.
9. Cleaning of the other components
The components installed on the cover (heating element and water level sensor) and the cover itself should be
cleaned as necessary, only if some scale has been accumulated on them.
Proceed as per the cleaning of the container (step #8).
