Cleaning
28
Regular cleaning is essential to ensure hygienic,
problem­free operation. Non­observance of the
following cleaning recommendations can lead to
en
the growth of micro organisms, including algae, bacteria
and mould. This can in turn cause respiratory problems and
other illnesses.
It is essential to clean the humidifier when the appliance
contains water and has not been in operation for a week.
Always switch off the appliance and unplug
before cleaning the appliance. Never immerse
the housing in water or other liquids (28)!

and remove the evaporating mat (30).
• Thoroughly rinse the water tank and the water tray.
Remove any deposits with a cloth or a plastic or
wooden brush (31). Dry the appliance parts with a
hand towel.
• Put the parts back together in their original position
