Initial Assembly
- Connect the Humidity Sensor Probe: Locate the sensor cable on the back of the humidifier base. Connect the external humidity sensor probe to this port. Ensure the connection is secure by screwing the connecting cap over it.

Hose Assembly and Placement
The humidifier offers flexible placement options using the included hoses:
- Direct Mist Output: For direct misting, simply place the top lid back on the unit.
- Extended Mist Output: For directing mist into a grow tent or specific area, connect the long flexible hose to the top mist outlet. You can then attach the 2-way nozzle and the two short hoses to distribute mist in multiple directions.
- Hose Orientation: When using hoses, ensure the mist outlet is hung diagonally upwards to prevent water accumulation and dripping in the pipeline.

Unit Placement
The humidifier can be placed inside or outside your grow tent or desired area:
- Inside the Tent: Place the unit directly inside the tent for localized humidification.
- Outside the Tent: Utilize the extended hoses to keep the main unit outside the tent, saving valuable internal space while still delivering mist effectively.

Cleaning the Unit
The top-fill design makes cleaning easy:
- Daily Cleaning: Empty any remaining water from the tank and wipe the interior with a soft cloth.
- Weekly Descaling: To remove mineral buildup, fill the tank with a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water. Let it soak for 30 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Base Cleaning: Clean the ultrasonic transducer and water basin in the base unit with a soft brush and vinegar solution as needed. Ensure no water enters the air outlet.

Water Quality
Using distilled or purified water is highly recommended to prevent mineral buildup (white dust) and extend the life of the unit.
Storage
When not in use for an extended period, clean and dry the unit completely before storing it in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your humidifier, refer to the common problems and solutions below.
- No Mist Output:
- Check water level: Ensure there is sufficient water in the tank. The unit will automatically shut off when water is low.
- Check float position: Ensure the float in the water tank is correctly positioned with the front facing upwards. Incorrect placement can prevent the unit from operating.
- Clean the transducer: Mineral buildup on the ultrasonic transducer can impede mist production. Clean as per maintenance instructions.
- Unit Not Turning On:
- Verify power connection: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the unit and a working electrical outlet.
- Check water tank placement: The unit has a safety feature that prevents operation if the water tank is not correctly seated on the base.
- Check for tipping: The unit will shut off if overturned. Ensure it is on a stable, flat surface.
- Inaccurate Humidity/Temperature Readings:
- Ensure sensor probe is connected securely and not obstructed.
- The sensor probe should be placed in an open area, away from direct mist, to get accurate readings.
