Unpacking and Initial Charge:

Filling the Water Tank:
Twist the top cover counter-clockwise to remove it. Fill the water tank with cool, clean tap water up to the MAX fill line. Do not overfill. Ensure the cotton filter is properly saturated before reassembling.

Inserting/Replacing Cotton Filter:
The cotton filter is crucial for mist production. Ensure it is fully soaked in water before first use (soak for at least 5 minutes). To replace, gently pull out the old filter from the misting unit in the top cover and insert a new one. Ensure it is securely in place.
