Do not store or operate the appliance outdoors. •
Store the appliance in a dry place inaccessible to children (pack the ap- •

The appliance only functions perfectly with untreated water. Do not use •
in conjunction with water softeners / ion exchangers.
The appliance must not under any circumstances be operated with or •
come into contact with fragrances because these damage the plastic and

Cleaning
Before servicing the humidifier and after each occasion of use, switch off •
the appliance and unplug the mains cable from the socket.
Never immerse the appliance in water (danger of short-circuit). To clean •
the appliance, only wipe it down with a damp cloth and then dry it care-
fully. Always take out the mains plug first.
Descale the air humidifier depending on the lime content, but at least •
once a week: Remove the steam pipe (7), open the cover (8) using the
opening aid and lift it off, remove the water tank (9). Then remove the
cover for the heating plate (10) and the sealing (11). Clean both parts with
a brush. Descale the anti-limescale magnetic ball (12) and the heating
plate with the anti stick coating using a commercial descaler and rinse
well afterwards. Reassemble appliance completely with all parts (8-12)
before reusing it.
Rinse the water tank well at regular intervals. •
Repairs/disposal
Repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by a qualified •
electrical technician. If improper repairs are carried out, the guarantee
lapses and all liability is refused.
Never operate the appliance if the adaptor or plug is damaged, after it has •
malfunctioned, if it has been dropped or has been damaged in any other
way (cracks/breaks in the casing).
Do not push any object into the appliance. Do not disassemble the puri- •
fier.
If the appliance is beyond repair, make it unusable immediately and hand •

the communal collection points.
Ask your local authority if you do not know where the communal collec- •
tion points are located.
If electrical appliances are disposed of thoughtlessly, exposure to the ele- •
ments may cause hazardous substances to find their way into the ground-
water and from there into the food chain, or to poison the flora and fauna
for many years to come.
