Controls and Operation

Control Knob: Turn clockwise to increase mist output (Low → Medium → High). Turn counter-clockwise to decrease or turn off.

Indicator Light: Blue LED illuminates when unit is plugged in and powered. May blink or turn off if tank is empty or improperly seated.

Operation Tips: For best performance, place humidifier in center of room or at least 2 feet from walls. Use in rooms with doors closed for faster humidity increase. Adjust output based on room size and dryness level.

Maintenance & Cleaning

Regular cleaning prevents mold and mineral buildup. Clean every 1-2 weeks with regular use.

  1. Unplug the humidifier from the electrical outlet.
  2. Remove the water tank and empty any remaining water.
  3. Clean tank: Use a soft cloth or brush with a mixture of mild soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly.
  4. Clean base: Wipe interior with a damp cloth. Do not submerge base in water.
  5. Descale if needed: Use a solution of white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio) to remove mineral deposits. Rinse well.
  6. Dry all parts completely before reassembly.

Tip: Always use clean, cool water to extend filter life and reduce cleaning frequency.

Filter Replacement

The wick filter should be replaced every 1-2 months, or when discolored or stiff.

  1. Turn off and unplug the humidifier.
  2. Remove the water tank from the base.
  3. Pull out the old wick filter from the base slot.
  4. Soak the new filter in cool water for 15 minutes before installation.
  5. Insert the new filter into the base slot, ensuring it sits flat and fully immersed.
  6. Reassemble tank and base, then plug in and resume use.

WARNING! Do not operate the humidifier without a filter. Using a worn-out filter can reduce performance and increase mineral dust.

Using Essential Oils

Optional aromatherapy tray allows use of essential oils.

  1. Ensure humidifier is unplugged and turned off.
  2. Place a few drops (3-5) of essential oil into the designated tray (if included).
  3. Do NOT add oils directly to the water tank, as this can damage the unit and void warranty.
  4. Reassemble and operate as normal. The mist will carry a light scent.
  5. Clean the oil tray regularly with soap and water to prevent residue buildup.

CAUTION! Use only 100% pure essential oils. Do not use fragrance oils or chemicals. Overuse may cause irritation.
