Cleaning

• 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!
• Unplug the appliance first. Never immerse the appliance into water.
• The appliance must be unplugged and the water must be removed from the base and out of the water tank by opening the cover at the bottom of the water tank and pour out the water. Only close the water tank again when the appliance should be used again, else the water tank should dry up completely.
• 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 bassin. After some time, depending on deposit, the scale dissolved. After this the base must be cleaned completely with clean water. The filter should be put into salty water (1 spoon salt per litre) for one day for recovery. Then rinse the filter with clear water and shake it and then let it dry.
• Steba tipp: 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.

• In winter time the cold air comes from the outside and gets warmer by the room temperature. The relative humidity is getting lower. The humidity must be increased by  a humidifier.
• The relative humidity in a room should be: bedroom or living room: 45-60%
• sickroom: 40-50%
• library: 40-50%

Air filter cartridge

Depending on the working time and the surrounding of the humidifier, the cartridge should be replaced from time to time because it decreases the mist level.
Aroma cartridge:
To receive scented mist, you can put some drops of scented oil onto the fleece.
Tipps:

• Fill in lukewarm water into the tank and not the basin. Please wipe if some water drops may form on the housing because the housing might become splotchy.
