1. Setup
Proper setup ensures optimal performance and longevity of your humidifier.
1.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any damage. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
1.2 Placement
Place the humidifier on a flat, stable, and water-resistant surface, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure it is at least 6 inches (15 cm) away from walls and furniture to allow for proper mist dispersion. Ideal for bedrooms and living rooms.

- Remove the water tank from the base of the humidifier.
- Unscrew the cap at the bottom of the tank. The demineralization cartridge is integrated into this cap.
- Fill the tank with clean tap water. For best results and to minimize white dust, consider using distilled or demineralized water, especially if you have hard water.
- Securely screw the cap back onto the tank.
- Place the filled water tank back onto the humidifier base, ensuring it is seated correctly.

2.8 Mute Sleep Mode
Activate the Sleep Mode for whisper-quiet operation (less than 35 dB). In this mode, all lights except the power and sleep indicators will turn off, and the mist output will be set to low, ensuring a peaceful sleeping environment.
2.9 Aromatherapy Function
Utilize the independent aromatherapy box to add a few drops of your favorite essential oils. This feature helps to diffuse pleasant scents, promoting relaxation and reducing fatigue.
3. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for hygiene and efficient operation.
3.1 General Cleaning
Wipe the exterior of the humidifier with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
3.2 Water Tank and Base Cleaning
To prevent mineral buildup and algae growth, clean the water tank and base regularly. Empty any remaining water and rinse thoroughly. For stubborn mineral deposits, use a solution of white vinegar and water. Allow it to soak, then scrub gently and rinse well.
3.3 Demineralization Cartridge
The demineralization cartridge helps reduce mineral content in the water, minimizing white dust. While effective, some white dust may still occur, especially with very hard water. Clean the humidifier regularly to address any residue.
4. Troubleshooting
Refer to this section for solutions to common issues.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No mist or low mist output. | Low water level; clogged transducer; mist outlet blocked. | Refill water tank; clean the transducer with a soft brush; ensure mist outlet is clear. |
| Humidifier is leaking. | Water tank cap not secured; tank not seated properly; damaged tank. | Ensure tank cap is tightly screwed; re-seat the tank firmly on the base; inspect tank for cracks. |
| Warm mist is not noticeably warm. | Warm mist is subtle; room temperature is high. | The warm mist function provides a slight temperature increase to the mist, not a significant heat output. Its effect is more noticeable in cooler room temperatures. |
| White dust around the humidifier. | Hard water minerals. | Use distilled or demineralized water. Clean the humidifier and surrounding surfaces regularly. |
| Humidifier is noisy. | Unit not level; mineral buildup; fan obstruction. | Ensure the unit is on a flat, stable surface; clean the transducer and water tank; check for any obstructions. |
