Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your humidifier:

• Clean Tank Technology: The humidifier incorporates Clean Tank Technology, which helps protect the tank from mold and mildew buildup.
• Regular Cleaning: Despite Clean Tank Technology, regular cleaning is recommended. Empty the water tank when not in use.
• Mist Hole Maintenance: To prevent mineral deposits from obstructing the mist holes, periodically clean them with a cotton swab or paper towel dampened with a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and water.
• Wick Replacement: The unit includes 3 wicks. Replace wicks as needed to maintain mist output and performance.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your humidifier, consider the following common solutions:

• No Mist/Hissing: If the unit is not producing mist or is making a hissing sound, check if the mist holes are clear of mineral deposits. Clean them as described in the Maintenance section.
• Unit Not Turning On: Ensure the humidifier is properly plugged into a working USB power source. If using battery power, confirm the battery is charged.
• Short Runtime: If the unit runs for a shorter duration than expected, ensure it is fully charged or continuously plugged in for maximum runtime.
• Dry Throat/Ineffective Humidification: For optimal humidification, ensure the unit is placed in an appropriate location where the mist can disperse effectively into the air. Consider using continuous mist mode for higher humidity needs.
