room humidity being higher than the value you have set. you may then
gradually reduce the hygrostat. when the pilot lamps go out, you have
reached the ambient room humidity. If the air humidifier switches off
automatically while in operation, the desired room humidity has been
reached. the air humidifier resumes operation when the room humidity
falls below the preset value.

theless, start the descaling process (see cleaning).
Cleaning
Before servicing the humidifier and after each occasion of use, switch off
the appliance and unplug the mains cable from the socket.
• Attention: never immerse the appliance in water (danger of short-
circuit).
• to clean the appliance, only wipe it down with a damp cloth and then dry
it carefully. always take out the mains plug first.
• descale the air humidifier depending on the lime content, but at least
once a week: remove the steam pipe (7), open the cover (8) using the
opening aid and lift it off, remove the water tank (9). then remove the
cover for the heating plate (10) and the sealing (11). Clean both parts with
a brush. descale the anti-limescale magic ball (12) and the heating plate
with the anti stick coating using a commercial descaler and rinse well
afterwards. reassemble appliance completely with all parts (8-12) before
reusing it.
• rinse the water tank well at regular intervals.
Repairs/disposal
• repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by a qualified
electrical technician. If improper repairs are carried out, the warranty
lapses and all liability is refused.
• never operate the appliance if the adaptor or plug is damaged, after it has
malfunctioned, if it has been dropped or has been damaged in any other
way (cracks/breaks in the casing).
• do not push any object into the appliance.
• If the appliance is beyond repair, make it unusable immediately by cutting
through the cable and hand it in at the collection point provided for the
purpose.
• do not dispose of electrical appliances in the domestic waste. Please use
the communal collection points.
• ask your local authority if you do not know where the communal collec-
tion points are located.
• If electrical appliances are disposed of thoughtlessly, exposure to the ele-
ments may cause hazardous substances to find their way into the ground-
water and from there into the food chain, or to poison the flora and fauna
for many years to come.
• If you are replacing the appliance with a new one, the seller is legally
obliged to take back the old one at least free of charge for disposal.
