Frequently Asked Questions - LB8 STEBA

How to clean the tank of the Steba LB8 humidifier?

Empty the tank and clean it with a soft cloth and diluted white vinegar. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Do not use abrasive products.

The humidifier does not turn on, what should I do?

Check that the tank is filled with water and correctly positioned. Make sure the device is plugged in and the outlet works. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

What is the lifespan of the ultrasonic membrane?

The membrane has a lifespan of about 2000 hours of use. It should be cleaned regularly to prevent limescale. Replace it if damaged.

Can I use tap water in the humidifier?

Yes, but to avoid limescale buildup, it is recommended to use demineralized or filtered water. This extends the lifespan of the device.

How to set the desired humidity level?

The Steba LB8 humidifier does not have a built-in hygrostat. You can adjust the diffusion power via the rotary knob to control the humidification rate.

The device makes noise, is this normal?

A slight boiling noise is normal. If the noise is loud, check the water level and clean the membrane. A clicking sound may indicate a lack of water.

Can I run the humidifier all night?

Yes, the device is designed for continuous use. It has automatic shut-off when the tank is empty. Place it on a stable, clear surface.

How to descale the humidifier?

Use a solution of white vinegar and water (1:1) in the tank, let it sit for 30 minutes, then gently scrub the membrane with a soft brush. Rinse well before reuse.

Where can I buy spare parts?

Spare parts such as the tank or membrane are available on the official Steba website or from authorized dealers. Check the manual for references.

The humidifier emits an odor, what to do?

An odor may come from a new tank or a dirty membrane. Thoroughly clean the device with white vinegar. If the odor persists, ventilate the room and check the water purity.

Cleaning

Attention! Pull the plug before cleaning and allow the device to cool down.
- Never immerse the unit into water.
- Hygiene: Please always clean the device to avoid bacteria and mold formation.
- The appliance must be cleaned more often the harder the water is. Too much lime disturbs the correct working of the appliance and leads to the formation of scale. In this case use boiled or distilled water. In any case do not use carbonated mineral water!
- If you do not use the device for a longer period of time, or if the device is calcified, proceed as follows:

o Pull the plug and remove the water from the water tank and the basin.

o Scale remains at the base, the transductor and the water tank should be wiped away. It is essential, that the transductor is not damaged. When there is excessive scale some scale remover should be used or fill vinegar in the basin. After some time, depending on deposit, the scale dissolved. After this the base must be cleaned completely with clean water.

o Screw the ceramic filter back into the water tank with the perforation facing up.

• Hygiene: Weekly cleaning avoids white sediments. Bacteria and germs will not have a chance! When the device is regularly used, its cleaning will be easier and quicker.
• Carefully clean the ultrasonic membrane at the bottom part with a brush. Scale reduces the atomization.
• Reassemble the appliance and store in a dry place up till next usage.
