3. Descaling: For areas with hard water, descale more frequently using vinegar solution to dissolve mineral deposits.
4. Drying: Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or storing.

WARNING! Never immerse the base unit in water or let water enter the electrical components. Always unplug before cleaning.

Essential Oil Use

Optional accessory for models with an essential oil tray.

1. Ensure the humidifier is unplugged and the oil tray is clean and dry.
2. Add 2-3 drops of 100% pure essential oil into the tray. Do not add oil directly to the water tank.

4. Operate as normal. The mist will carry the aroma.

CAUTION! Use oils sparingly. Do not use synthetic fragrances or chemicals, as they can damage the unit. Clean the oil tray after each use.
