Cleaning
Important
The device must be switched off, disconnected from
the mains and allowed to cool down each time before
cleaning.
The atomiser and the accessories used such as the
mouthpiece, mask, etc. must be washed with hot but
not boiling water after each use. Dry the parts carefully
using a soft cloth. Put the parts together again when
they are completely dry and place them in a dry, sealed
container or disinfect them.
When cleaning, ensure that any residue is removed.
Never use any substances for cleaning that could po-
tentially be toxic if they came into contact with the skin
or mucous membranes, or if they were swallowed or
inhaled.
Use a soft, dry cloth and non-abrasive cleaning pro-
ducts to clean the device.
Do not use any abrasive cleaning products and never
submerge the device in water.
Important
• Ensure that no water gets inside the device.
• Do not clean the device or accessories in the dish-
washer.
• Do not touch the device with wet hands when it is
plugged in and do not allow water to spray on the
device. Only operate the device if it is completely dry.
Do not spray any liquid into the vents! If liquid pe-
netrates the device this could cause damage to the
electrics or other nebuliser parts and lead to a mal-
function.
Condensation, hose care
Condensation may form in the hose depending on
the ambient conditions. It is essential to remove the
moisture to prevent bacterial growth and ensure proper
treatment. To do so, proceed as follows:
• Remove the compressed air hose [8] from the ato-
miser [8].
• The hose must remain connected to the nebuliser
[4].
• Operate the nebuliser until the moisture is removed
by the air passing through.
• In the event of heavy contamination, replace the ho-
se.
Disinfection
Please carefully observe the points below when disin-
fecting your atomiser and accessories. We recommend
disinfecting the individual parts on a daily basis after
the last usage as a minimum measure.
(All you need for this is a little white vinegar and dis-
tilled water.)
• First, clean the atomiser and accessories as descri-
bed in the "Cleaning" section.
• Place the disassembled atomiser [8] and nasal
douche [n/a], the mouthpiece [12], the silicone masks
[13, 14] and the disassembled nosepiece [n/a] in boi-
ling water for 5 minutes.
• For the remaining accessories, use a vinegar solution
consisting of ¼ vinegar and ¾ distilled water. Make
sure that the volume is sufficient to fully submerse
parts, such as the PVC masks [n/a] and hose [7], in
the solution. Accessories that can be boiled can also
be disinfected in this way.
• Leave the parts in the vinegar solution for 30 minutes.
• Rinse the parts with water and dry them carefully
with a soft cloth.
Important
Do not boil or autoclave the compressed air hose or
the PVC masks [n/a].
• Put the parts together again when they are complete-
ly dry and place them in a dry, sealed container.
Note
Please ensure that the parts are completely dried af-
ter cleaning, otherwise the risk of bacterial growth is
increased.
Drying
• Place the individual parts on a clean, dry and absor-
bent surface and leave them to dry completely (at
least 4 hours).
Durability of materials
• As with any plastic parts, atomisers and their acces-
sories are affected by a certain amount of wear and
tear when used and hygienically prepared on a fre-
quent basis. Over time, this can lead to a change in
the aerosol, which can have a negative effect on the
efficiency of the treatment. We therefore recommend
that you replace the atomiser and other accessories
after a year.
• The following point should be observed when selec-
ting the cleaning product or disinfectant: only use a
mild cleaning product or disinfectant in the concen-
tration and volume prescribed by the manufacturer.
Storage
• Do not store in damp conditions (such as in a ba-
throom) and do not transport with any damp items.
• When storing and transporting, protect from prolon-
ged direct sunlight.
