  2. Unscrew the tank cap located at the bottom of the tank.
  3. Fill the tank with cool, distilled water. Do not fill water through the mist nozzle or scented air outlet, as this may damage the product.

  • Rinse the water tank and reservoir with a 5-15% vinegar solution.
  • Pour out the solution residue.
  • Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
  • Use the included tank cleaning brush to clean hard-to-reach areas.

4. Troubleshooting

4.1 Auto Shut-Off Feature

The humidifier is equipped with an auto shut-off feature for safety and convenience. If the water level is too low, the product will automatically turn off and the nightlight may turn red to indicate the need for a refill. Refill the water tank to resume operation.

4.2 No Mist or Low Mist Output

  • Check if the water tank is empty. Refill if necessary.
  • Ensure the unit is properly plugged in and the control knob is set to an ON position (12H or 24H).
  • Clean the transducer component and mist nozzle as mineral buildup can impede mist production.

4.3 Unusual Noise

The Amazon Basics Humidifier is designed for whisper-quiet operation. If you notice unusual or excessive noise, ensure the unit is placed on a flat, stable surface. Check for any foreign objects in the water tank or base, and perform a thorough cleaning to remove any mineral deposits that might be causing vibrations.
