Setup

3. Extension Nozzle (Optional): If desired, attach the 15-inch extension nozzle to convert the unit for floor-standing use. The dual directional mist nozzle can be adjusted to direct mist as needed.
4. Fill Water Tanks: Remove the water tanks using the built-in handles. Unscrew the tank caps and fill with clean, cool tap water. Replace the caps securely and place the tanks back onto the base.
5. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for optimal performance and longevity of your humidifier.

1. Daily Maintenance: Empty and rinse the water tanks and base daily. Allow them to air dry before refilling.
2. Weekly Cleaning: To remove any mineral deposits or buildup, fill the water tanks with a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water. Let it sit for 20-30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Clean the base with a soft brush or cloth and the vinegar solution.
3. Ceramic Filter: The permanent ceramic filter does not require replacement but should be rinsed periodically under running water to remove any accumulated debris.
4. Aromatherapy Pad: Replace the aromatherapy pad when it becomes discolored or loses its scent absorption capability.
