Maintenance
Your product requires regular maintenance! The frequency of maintenance depends on the average daily use of your humidifier and the water hardness of your area.The hardness of the water is determined by the amount of calcium and magnesium it contains. Too much calcium and magnesium in the water causes scale in the water basin, water tank and on the oscillator.This will prevent your humidifier from operating properly.Therefore, the scale needs to be removed as it becomes noticeable.

Tips for avoiding scale
� Use cold boiled water or distilled water. Water temperature should not exceed 40 ºC. � Clean oscillator (13), water tank (4) and water basin (12) weekly. � Refresh the water in the water tank (4) each time you use your humidifier. � Clean your complete humidifier, drain the water from water tank (4) and water basin (12) and dry all parts with a soft, dry cloth when you are not going to use your humidifier for a long time.

Descaling your humidifier
1 Disconnect your humidifier from the mains and set the ON/OFF switch (9) to the OFF position. 2 Fill the water basin (12) with water and white vinegar. Leave the water/vinegar in for at least 4 hours (preferably one night). 3 Then clean off the scale with a soft cloth. 4 Rinse all parts with clean water.

Cleaning your humidifier
� Disconnect your humidifier from the mains and set the ON/OFF switch (9) to the OFF position. � All parts of your humidifier, except the base unit (8) can be washed with water and soap or in a dishwasher. � Clean the inner part of the water tank (4) by filling it with water, firmly tightening the tank cap (14) and shaking the tank repeatedly. � Do not immerse the base unit (8), mains lead (11), or plug in water or any other liquid. Clean the base unit with a damp cloth. � Do not use cleaning or scouring agents. � Do not use any metal or hard objects to clean the oscillator.
