Cleaning
You must clean the device regularly to ensure that it ope-
rates smoothly and hygienically. It should be cleaned and
maintained at regular intervals:
• Weekly: clean housing components.
• Every 2 to 3 months: change filter cartridge.
• Annually: clean device after heating season.
The humidifier can be opened for cleaning with a minimum
of effort and without the aid of tools:
• Turn off the device and remove the plug from the
mains.
• Lift the upper part of the housing with the power cable
to remove it. Never immerse this in water.
• Remove the filter cartridge. Deposits in the air and
water build up and contaminate the filter/evaporator
cartridge while the device is in operation. The white
deposits are caused by limescale and not mould. It is
therefore recommended to replace them approximately
every 2 to 3 months.
Replace the filter cartridge sooner if:
• It emits odour.
• It is heavily contaminated or there is a lot of limescale
build-up (if your water is particularly hard for example).
• Humidification performance is clearly impaired
(if your water is particularly hard for example).
• Remove residues from the base of the housing and
clean it. You can use a limescale remover such as
CalcOff to remove limescale and mineral deposits.
• Once or twice a year, use a damp cloth to wipe clean
the bottom of the ventilator unit.
Warning
Always clean the humidifier if it has not been
used for more than a week.
• Switch the device off and remove the plug from the
mains before carrying out maintenance and after
each use.
• Never immerse the device in water (ignoring this
advice may lead to a short circuit). Use only a damp
cloth to clean it, and dry it thoroughly afterwards.
Always remove the plug from the mains beforehand.
• Ensure that there is no heavy build-up of dust around
the air intake and air exhaust grilles (fire hazard) and
clean them occasionally with a dry brush or vacuum
cleaner.
Notes on how a humidifier works
• The drier the air in a room is, the more moisture is
emitted by the device. The self-regulating principle
between the air in a room and the humidifier prevents
excessive humidity. As such, the relative humidity
varies between approx. 45 and 60 %.
• If extra humidity is required for larger rooms,
the humidifier can be placed close to a radiator
(do not exceed 50 °C).
• It is recommended to use a humidistat to monitor
humidity.
• Humidity is heavily restricted by circulating air (for
example, in rooms with poorly sealed/open windows
or in elevated rooms).
• Please note that humidity increases as air temperature
rises and this can cause unwanted condensation in
some areas.
