The following is not considered faulty operation: EN18

• If your water is very hard (containing abnormally high levels of minerals) the humidier may produce white dust. This is not a malfunction. The solution would be to clean the lter more often or use softer water.

• If you stand very close to the humidier, you will hear the gurgling sound of water. This is normal.

• The humidier operates very quietly but it is not completely silent. Noise levels less than 35dB(A) is considered normal. MAINTENANCE In case the water is hard, meaning the water contains too much calcium and magnesium, it can cause a “white powder” problem and leave heavy scales on the surface of water basin, transducer, and inner surface of the water tank. Scales on the surface of transducer will let the humidier work improperly. Empty the tank and rell every third day. Before relling, clean it with fresh tap water or cleaning agents if required by the manufacture. Remove any scale, deposits, or lm that has formed on the sides of the tank or on interior surfaces and wipe all surfaces dry. Empty and clean the humidier before storage. Clean the humidier before next use. Use cold boiled water, or distilled water.

• Clean the transducer, water tank and basin every three days.

• Change the water in the water tank more often to keep it fresh.

• Make sure to pour out water from the water tank and dry everything before storage.

HOW TO CLEAN THE TRANSDUCER

• Clean with clean water of citric acid if there is scale in it.

• Brush off the scale from the surface.

• Rinse the transducer with clean water.

HOW TO CLEAN THE BASIN

• Clean the water basin with a soft cloth or use citric acid if there is scale in it.

• If the scale covers the security switch, drop some citric acid on it and let it sit for 2-5 minutes on the scale and clean it with a brush.

• Rinse the water tank with clean water. EN19

• Clean and activate the ceramic ball after using 1000L water. Depending on the water quality. If the ceramic ball is dirty it needs to be cleaned more frequently.
