using a water can or water bottle without having to switch it off. PLease
nOte: if you are operating the appliance with fragrances, remove the fra-
grance container before refilling to prevent water getting into it. should this
nevertheless occur, it will be necessary to remove the water container (2)
and rinse it. Fragrances should not be permitted to enter the water tank,
since they might destroy the plastic.
Cleaning and cassette replacement
Prior to any maintenance work and after each use, switch off the appliance
and withdraw the mains cable from the socket.
never immerse in water (risk of short circuit).
• external surfaces should only be wiped off with a damp cloth and then
dried well.
• to clean the inside, remove the filter cassettes and descale the lower part
if necessary. after descaling, thoroughly rinse the upper part and then dry
it before putting the air humidifier into operation again.
• For hygienic and optimum operation of the air humidifier, the filter cas-
settes should be replaced at least every two months. if the filter cas-
settes remain in use for longer than this, on the one hand the humidity
output may decline severely and on the other, the anti-bacterial action
of the cassettes can no longer be guaranteed. the filter cassettes can be
obtained from the dealer where you purchased your Oskar.
