5. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to set up your humidifier:
- Prepare the Humidifier: Take out the humidifier unit. Gently twist and open the lid clockwise.
- Add Water: Fill the water tank with clean tap water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. For the 330ml model, fill with approximately 90% water.
- Prepare the Cotton Swab: For first-time use, or after replacing, remove the cotton swab (be careful not to lose the small spring at the bottom). Soak the cotton swab in water for 1-2 minutes to allow it to fully absorb water. Then, reinstall it into the humidifier, ensuring the spring is correctly positioned.

- Connect Power: Plug the Micro-USB power cable into the humidifier's USB port and connect the other end to a suitable USB power source (e.g., car charger, power bank, charger plug, PC, or laptop).
