Cleaning the tank and lid cover unit
During normal operation, the salts contained
in the water could cause the formation of
scale residues in the steam duct and heating
tank. The formation of scale residues could
take place more or less quickly, depending on
the type of water, its hardness and frequency
of use of the appliance. The harder the water,
the quicker the formation of scale residues.
Apart from making the appliance noisier,
scale residues reduce the performance of the
humidifi er and could prevent it from operating
correctly. It is therefore recommended to
descale the appliance, at least once a week, as
indicated below:
1. Use a coin or a fl at headed screwdriver
to loosen the lid cover fastener screws
(7) making sure the triangular symbol
coincides with the UNLOCKED symbol;
then use the handle grooves (8) to lift the
lid cover unit off the tank.
2. Fill the water tank with cold drinking
water. Attention: never fi ll the tank above
the indicated MAX level.
3. Rinse it out a couple of times very
thoroughly, making sure the water does
not leak inside the appliance through the
air vents on the bottom.
4. Clean the water supply duct on the
bottom of the tank (Diag. G detail)
removing all scale residue with a fl at tool,
if necessary.
5. After removing any scale residue, mix
1 litre of water and 1 litre of white wine
vinegar together and pour it into the
water tank; fi t the lid cover and fasten
in place with the screws (7) so that the
triangular symbol coincides with the
LOCKED symbol and leave the appliance
to rest for 4 hours. Then shake the
out the following
appliance for a few minutes, repeat the
operations indicated in point 1, empty
the tank and use a cloth to remove all
scale residue; rinse out the tank and the
lid cover/steam chamber several times.

tank and lid cover unit using a soft cloth;
now replace the lid cover and fasten in
place using the screws (7) so that the
triangular symbol coincides with the
LOCKED symbol
6. Clean and dry the water tank externally
by gently wiping a dry cloth over the
whole surface.
