Cleaning the disk: Regular cleaning of the ceramic disk prevents the appearance of scale. Do not use hard or abrasive utensils to avoid damaging the disk. Cleaning the water tank: Remove the anti-calc cartridge (depending on model) and rinse it in clear water, then wash the tank and its cap with soapy water. Cleaning the nebulisation chamber: Fill the nebulisation chamber with a half water/half white vinegar mix, leave it to work for 4 hours then empty it and rinse the chamber with clear water (NB, make sure that the water does not enter the blower opening).
