8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT! 

To avoid deformation or wear of working surfaces, 

resulting in decreased atomizing or other malfunctions, 

do not use metallic brushes, blades or talc powder to 

wipe the atomizer’s surface. The water tank may leak 

upon heavy impacts.
In case of water leakage, immediately stop using the 

unit and contact a service center. To keep the unit dry, 

remove water after cleaning and make sure to dry the 

unit’s case. Make sure that there is no water left inside 

the unit’s case. Prior to a long break in using the unit, 

dry its surface and pack it into a plastic bag, then put 

it into a box. Store the unit in a low-humidity room. 

Storing the unit undried results in generation of mold.

In case of emergency, please, use the troubleshooting methods shown in 

tables. If it is impossible to solve problems with these methods, apply to 

the service center.
