1. Getting Started
1.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts are present and undamaged before proceeding with setup. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
1.2 Filling the Water Tank
The humidifier features a large 4.0-liter water tank designed for easy filling. For optimal performance and to prevent mineral buildup, it is recommended to use distilled water.
- Remove the water tank from the base by lifting it using the integrated hand grip.
- Unscrew the tank cap located at the bottom of the tank.
- 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.
- Securely replace the tank cap.
- Place the filled water tank back onto the main body of the humidifier, ensuring it is seated correctly.

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.
