Regular cleaning is essential to ensure hygienic,
problemfree operation. Nonobservance of the
following cleaning recommendations can lead to
en
the growth of micro organisms, including algae, bacteria
and mould. This can in turn cause respiratory problems and
other illnesses.
It is essential to clean the humidifier when the appliance
contains water and has not been in operation for a week.
Always switch off the appliance and unplug
before cleaning the appliance. Never immerse
the housing in water or other liquids (28)!
