2. Important Safety Instructions
Please read and save these safety instructions before operating your humidifier. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
- Always place the humidifier on a firm, flat, waterproof surface at least 12 inches (30 cm) away from walls and appliances.
- Do not place the humidifier directly on carpet, towels, or other absorbent surfaces.
- Keep the humidifier out of reach of children and pets.
- Use only clean, cool tap water. Distilled or demineralized water is recommended to prevent mineral buildup.
- Do not add essential oils or other additives directly into the water tank unless the product specifically supports it, as this may damage the unit and void the warranty.

- Never operate the humidifier if the power cord or plug is damaged.
- Do not block the mist outlet or air intake vents.
- Do not immerse the humidifier base in water or other liquids.
- Regular cleaning is essential to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria.
3. Setup
- Unpack the Humidifier: Carefully remove all packaging materials and ensure all components are present.
- Choose a Location: Place the humidifier on a flat, stable, and waterproof surface in the desired room. Ensure it is not placed directly on the floor or near heat sources.
- Fill the Water Tank:
- Remove the water tank from the base.
- Unscrew the tank cap and fill the tank with clean, cool tap water. Distilled water is recommended to minimize mineral residue.

5. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for optimal performance and to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria. The filterless design simplifies maintenance.
- Daily Maintenance:
- Empty any remaining water from the tank and base.
- Rinse the water tank and base thoroughly with clean water.
- Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or storing.
- Weekly Cleaning (or more often with hard water):
- Descaling the Water Tank and Base: Mix a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water. Pour the solution into the water tank and base, allowing it to soak for 20-30 minutes to loosen mineral deposits.
- Cleaning the Transducer/Mist Outlet: Gently scrub the transducer (the small disc that produces mist) and the mist outlet with a soft brush or cloth to remove any mineral buildup. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp objects.
- Rinse all components thoroughly with clean water until the vinegar smell is gone.
- Dry all parts completely before reassembly.
- Storage: If storing the humidifier for an extended period, ensure all parts are clean and completely dry. Store in a cool, dry place.
