CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Filter drying function
Mould and bacteria can form in the filter 5 when the air humidifier is not in use. Therefore, always empty the residual water from the tank and dry all parts when the device is not in use. Allow the filter 5 to air dry or use the filter drying function for faster drying:

1. Before activating the filter drying function, ensure that the residual water has been emptied from the tank (residual moisture may collect under the filter holder 8 , which must be dried manually). The filter drying function can only be started once the residual water has been emptied.
2. To activate the filter drying function, press and hold the fan speed button 16 for 5 seconds. The filter drying indicator 19 will start to light up. The filter drying function now dries the filter 5 at the highest setting for the next 3 hours. To switch off the filter drying function prematurely, press any other button.
3. After the time has elapsed, check that the filter 5 is completely dry. If the filter 5 is not completely dry, activate the filter drying function again.

Cleaning the filter

WARNING

Before cleaning, always ensure that the mains plug of the air humidifier has been properly disconnected. Only clean the filter 5 according to the method described in these instruc-tions for use. Never clean the filter 5 in a washing machine or dishwasher.
Regular cleaning of the filter 5 is required to ensure hygienic and fault-free operation. Rinse the filter 5 weekly under running water to remove dust, dirt and hair.

NOTICE

Replace the filter 5 after 6 months at the latest (see section “8.3 Changing the filter”). If the filter 5 calcified, descale it as described in section “8.6 Descaling”.

Changing the filter

When replacing the filter 5 , only use original replacement filters from Beurer (see section “9. Accessories and replacement parts”).
Change the filter 5 after 6 months at the latest. After 1440 operating hours*, the filter change indicator 20 lights up automatically. If the filter 5 is already heavily soiled, deformed or discoloured before the 1440 operating hours have elapsed, you must replace the filter 5 earlier and then reset the operating hours counter to 0 (see step 6 in this section).

1. Disconnect the air humidifier from the socket.
2. Pull off the motor unit 4 upwards.
3. Remove the old filter 5 and dispose of it properly.
4. Place the new filter on the filter holder 8 . Make sure that the round hole of the filter holder 8 is on the small projection in the bottom of the water tank.
5. Put the motor unit 4 back on the water tank 9 . Make sure that there is no gap between them.
6. Switch on the air humidifier using the ON/OFF button 11 . Press and hold the timer button 15 for 5 seconds until the filter change indicator 20 goes out. Internal operating hours counter is now reset to 0.

Based on an average of 8 hours of daily use of the air humidifier over 6 months.

Cleaning the motor unit housing
Clean the housing of the motor unit 4 with a slightly damp cloth (water or a mild cleaning solution). Do not use solvents, other aggressive cleaning/scrubbing agents or alcohol, as these could damage the surface.
