•
Pour out the remaining water in the base unit (10) from the Drain Opening (16) and rinse out
the tank
•
Regular cleaning is essential for hygienic and fault–free operation. Please follw the clean and
maintenance instruction as below:
– Weekly: Clean the humidifier housing
– Every 2 months: Replace the Filter Cassettes (9) when
– Annually: Clean the humidifier thoroughly after the season
CLEANING PROCEDURES
The humidifier can be opened very easily for cleaning purposes, without using hand tools:
•
Switch off the humidifier and pull out the mains plug.
•
Lift up the Top Cover (2) with the mains plug. Do not allow this part to be immersed in water.
•
Take out both Filter Cassettes (9). It is recommended to replace these cassettes when the
timer is up or after 2 months of using. Replace the filters more often can help to prevent:
•
Building up of an unpleasant odour;
•
Severe soiling or calcification (e.g. due to hard water);
•
Significantly reduced humidification performance (e.g. due to hard water).
•
Clean and remove residual deposits on the inside of the housing. Rinse with clean water and
then dry with soft clean cloths. Lime and mineral residues can be removed with a decalcifying
agent.
Caution
•
The device must always be cleaned if it has been filled with water but has not been in operation
for longer than 1 week.
Notes
•
Before each service and after each use, switch the humidifier off and pull out the mains plug
from the socket.
•
Never allow the upper part of the housing to be immersed in water (danger of short–circuiting!)
Only use a moistened cloth for cleaning and then dry thoroughly. Always remember to pull out
the mains plug before any cleaning operation!
•
Make sure that the air outlet grill does not become soiled with dust and dirt by cleaning it as
required using a dry brush or a vacuum cleaner.
•
Do not use sharp objects likely to cause scratching and do not use corrosive chemicals.
USEFUL INFORMATION
Information how an evaporator works:
How does the evaporator work? Evaporation systems can humidify the air and clean it by removing
particles of dirt and pollen. These products achieve a highly effective humidifying effect in a natural
way: the in–built ventilator sucks dry air through water–saturated antibacterial filter cassettes. The
dry air absorbs moisture until it has been enriched naturally. Excessive humidity is therefore not
possible. These systems work incredibly quietly and require very little electricity. We recommend
evaporators to be used in bedrooms and children’s rooms.
Tips for water:
Always use clean water to be sure that the air remains clean for breathe. The device, and the water
tank in particular, must be kept clean also.
Recommendation: always use the Ionic Silver Cube (ISC™), as this reduces the formation of germs
in the water.
Note on the principle of operation of an air humidifier:
•
The drier the room air, the greater the output of humidity from the humidifier. The principle
of self–regulation between the room air and the humidifier ensures that the humidity is not
excessively increased, i.e. the relative air humidity varies over a range from approx. 45% – 60%
