4. Important Safety Information

• Always use distilled water when filling the humidifier to prevent mineral buildup and ensure optimal performance.
• Do not bend or kink the fog output hose during operation, as this can cause water to collect and clog the hose, leading to reduced mist output or leakage.
• Unplug the unit from the power outlet before cleaning or refilling.
• Ensure the humidifier is placed on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.

5. Setup Instructions

1. Place the Unit: Position the main unit on a stable, flat surface near your terrarium.
2. Assemble the Hose: Connect the adjustable hose to the mist outlet on the top of the main unit. Use the provided suction cups to secure the hose inside or around your terrarium.
3. Fill with Water: Remove the bucket lid and fill the 4L water bucket with distilled water. Do not overfill. Replace the lid securely.
4. Position the Hose Correctly: Ensure the hose is positioned so that it does not form a "U" shape where water can collect and block the mist. The hose should ideally slope downwards from the humidifier to the terrarium, or be positioned to allow condensation to drain back into the terrarium or evaporate.

5. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.

7. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning is essential to maintain the performance and longevity of your humidifier. Please clean the humidifier regularly, at least once a month.

1. Unplug the Unit: Always ensure the humidifier is unplugged from the power outlet before cleaning.
2. Empty Water: Remove the water bucket and empty any remaining water.
3. Clean Tank and Base: Wipe the inside of the water tank and the base unit with a soft, damp cloth. For mineral deposits, use a solution of white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio) and let it soak for 15-20 minutes before rinsing thoroughly.
4. Clean Transducer: Gently clean the ultrasonic transducer (the small metal disc in the base) with a soft brush or cotton swab to remove any mineral buildup. Do not use abrasive materials.
5. Rinse and Dry: Rinse all components thoroughly with clean water and allow them to air dry completely before reassembling.
