Product information Oskar little
Just like his big brothers, the humidifier Oskar little is also a thrifty consumer with great power. With his two power levels, this evaporative humidifier performs at his best in small rooms up to 30 m2. His eco-friendly filter made of plant and textile fibres truly distinguishes him as an economist.
Important purchasing advice
For Minergie houses (low energy or passive houses) or apartments calculations should be based on twice the room size.
The reason for this lies in the continuous exchange of air: cold and dry outdoor air is heated up and channelled indoors. The moisture produced by people, animals, furniture, plants, cooking, showering, etc. is quickly directed outside by the continuous exchange of air, usually resulting in extremely dry air indoors. Controlled ventilation systems therefore have the same effect as open windows.

Attention: Never immerse the device in water (danger of short-circuit).
Daily: Fill the device with fresh, cold tap water. If the device is not going to be used for several days, empty the water from the lower part beforehand and if necessary, clean it with a drop of washing-up liquid and a clean cloth. Fill the lower part with fresh water before putting the device into operation again.
Every 2 weeks: First remove the filters and the Water Cube™. Clean the inside of the lower part thoroughly every 2 weeks using a drop of washing-up liquid, warm water and a soft, clean cloth, sponge or brush. Then rinse out the lower part thoroughly with cold water and put back the filters and the Water Cube.
Approximately every 4 weeks (depending on the water hardness in each case): First remove the filters and the Water Cube™. If there are limescale deposits inside the lower part, we recommend that you use Stadler Form Cleaner & Descaler. Alternatively, you can use a household descaling agent or vinegar. Then rinse out the lower part thoroughly with cold water and put back the filters and the Water Cube. For hygienic reasons, the filters should be replaced every 2-3 months.
Cleaning Video
Regularly as required: To clean the outside, rub with a damp cloth and then dry thoroughly.
At the end of the season: Before putting away the device at the end of the season, clean it thoroughly inside and out and let it dry completely. Descale the lower part as described above. Clean the fan blades in the upper part with a damp cloth and then wipe them dry. Insert new humidifier filters and a new Water Cube so that your device will be ready to be put into operation at the start of the next season.
Discolouration which is slightly yellowish or brownish is normal. Discolouration is caused by the substances in the mains water or the air. The poorer the water quality, the quicker the humidifier filter will become discoloured. Although this does not look pleasant, it is harmless as long as it is not due to mould. The discolouration will not affect the performance of your humidifier either. If you have not been using the humidifier filter for very long, you can rinse it thoroughly, turn it over and reuse it. If the humidifier filter is more than 2 months old, we recommend that you replace it.
It is also possible for the top part of the humidifier filters to become hard. During the evaporation process, the lime present in the water is collected in the humidifier filter as limescale. The harder the water, the quicker the humidifier filter will become hard. If you use water from a water softener which operates based on the principle of ion exchange, salt may collect in the humidifier filter rather than limescale. If you have been using the humidifier filter for less than 2 months, you can rinse it thoroughly with water, turn it over and put it back again. It is possible that you may notice an odour after you have turned over the humidifier filter depending on how contaminated the filter is by constituents in the air or the water.
If your Oskar little or the humidifier filters smell unpleasant, there may be various reasons for this: water and air quality, a worn-out filter or even the fact that you have not used your Oskar little for a long time and he has still water in his tank. In any case, we recommend that you clean and descale the device thoroughly (Video Cleaning). If you have been using the filter for less than 2 months, you can rinse it thoroughly with cold, clean water, turn it over and continue to use it.
In principle, you can increase the intensity of a fragrance by adding a little more fragrance oil. The strength of a fragrance will depend on the fragrance itself. Natural fragrances are often more discreet than synthetic ones and certain ingredients are more dominant than others.
It should also be remembered that first and foremost, the device is a humidifier. Its main focus is to provide humidity in the room and because of that, the intensity of its fragrance will never be as strong as the fragrance from an aroma diffuser.
