Replacement of defective parts

Use lukewarm soapy water to clean the water reservoir, support disk,
suction piece, whirl disk, guiding disk, aerosol discharge hood and
the segments of the atomizer ring. Then thoroughly rinse all components
with water.
If the components are heavily encrusted with lime, soak them in 8 % for­
mic acid until the lime layer is dissolved. Finally, clean the components as
described above.
When cleaning make sure:
– not to damage the outer edges of the whirl disk. Defective disks reduce
the efficiency of the humidifier and can cause damage to the bearing
(unbalance).
– not to bend the lamellas of the atomizer ring. Bent lamellas adversely
affect the atomization process.
– the inlet of the suction piece is open so that the water may pass
through.
Use a cloth or a sponge moistened with soapy water to clean the motor hous-
ing. Then rub the components with a wet cloth (clean water) several times.
If the components are heavily encrusted with lime, rub them with a cloth
soaked in an 8 % formic acid solution. Allow the acid to act for some time
and then thoroughly clean the motor housing with water.
Caution! Prevent the cleaning agent from getting into the electric motor.
Never clean the motor housing under the tap and never dip it in liquids of
any kind.
Notes on cleaning agents:
– Formic acid is available at pharmacies.
Caution! Although formic acid is harmless to the skin, it attacks the mu­
cous membranes. Therefore protect the eyes and the respiratory tract
from contact with the acid or its fumes. Wear safety goggles and work in
a well­ventilated room or outdoors.
– The use of disinfectants is allowed only when they leave no toxic residues.
In any case the components must be thoroughly rinsed with water after
cleaning.
– Caution! Do not use solvents or other aggressive liquids for cleaning.
– Do not use scouring equipment (wire brush, scouring cloth, etc.) for
cleaning because they leave scratches that encourage the growth of
microorganisms.
The customer must not carry out repairs other than the replacement of
the following parts:
– water reservoir
– support disk
– suction piece
– whirl disk
– guiding disk
Please follow the instructions given in chapter 6.2 for the dismantling of
particular components.
