Cleaning And Maintenance - Beurer LB 60 Gebrauchsanleitung

are limescale deposits on the inner sides of the vaporizer cup. If the pad decomposes after a time,
operate the humidifier in future without pads. This will usually be the case with very soft water.

4. Cleaning and maintenance

Water contains limestone and other particles. Even when using pads, these are deposited in the
vaporizer cup, thereby impairing the performance of the humidifier. Furthermore, a very wide variety
of germs can accumulate in the water, particularly on all surfaces in contact with water.
For these reasons, regular cleaning is essential if you want to enjoy lasting benefits from your humi-
difier. Please note that more frequent cleaning will be necessary when using very hard water.
1. Switch off and unplug the humidifier prior to cleaning.
2. Remove the water tanks and empty them. Wait at least 15 minutes after switching off until
the hot water in the humidifier has cooled down. Remove the vaporizer and the steam nozzle as
described under 3.1 Start-up.
3. To descale the humidifier, you must first empty the water from the base by taking hold of the
humidifier with both hands and tipping the water SIDEWAYS out of the base. On no account
allow water to run onto the control panel, power cord, case openings or in the inner openings of
the control panel and never hold the humidifier under a running water tap!
4. Add enough descalant (e.g. soft vinegar) into the base to cover all water-carrying parts (in parti
cular the vaporizer cup and inlet pipe). Allow the descalant liquid about 20-30 mins. to take
effect. When descaling, also comply with the descalant manufacturer's instructions.
5. Tilt the humidifier SIDEWAYS again thereby removing the descalant liquid. Then fill the reser-
voir and the vaporizer cup with clean, warm water to flush out the vinegar residue. Remove all
deposits in the bases possibly using an old toothbrush. Empty the humidifier again by tipping it
sideways.
If there are still deposits left in the vaporizer cup, remove these with a metal scraper. Do not use
any metal blades on plastic parts.
Always ensure that no water enters the inside of the humidifier or other apertures or runs onto
cables or connectors!!!
6. To clean the water tank, dissolve a teaspoon of household chlorine in approx. 4 liters of water.
Always comply with the manufacturer's instructions when desinfect. Allow the solution about
20 mins. to take effect and move the tank every couple of minutes to wet all the surfaces.
Then empty the tank completely and rinse it out very thoroughly until there is no longer any
chlorine odour. Fill the tanks with fresh, cold water and place them on the humidifier again.
7. Never use petrol, kerosene, window cleaning agent, scouring agent, furniture polish, thinners or
other solvents to clean your humidifier.
8. The water reservoirs and tanks should be emptied and rinsed out daily and refilled with fresh
tap water.
9. To clean the surfaces, it is best to use water with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Wipe over
once with clear water and then dry off the humidifier.
10. As soon as the humidifier is clean and dry, exchange the pad if this is necessary. Fit the steam
nozzle and turn it clockwise until it engages. Fit the vaporizer and turn the turn-lock fasteners
inwards.
11. If deposits have formed on the valves of the tank covers, clean these carefully with a soft brush.
5. Storage
If you do not want to use your humidifier for a lengthy period, e.g. during the summer months, it is
particularly important to comply with the following instructions.
- Clean the humidifier carefully as described under 4.
- Ensure that the water is removed completely from the tank and from all water reservoirs.
- Dry the humidifier thoroughly.
- Unscrew the tank cover to ventilate the tank.
- Pack your humidifier in its original carton and store it in a cool, dry place.
