4. Setup
- Placement: Place the humidifier on a horizontal, stable, and dry surface. Ensure it is not placed directly on carpet or other absorbent materials that could block the air inlet.
- Fill Water Tank: The humidifier features a top-fill design for easy refilling. Simply open the top lid and pour clean, cool water directly into the 15L tank. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
- Attach Hoses and Nozzles: Connect the flexible hoses and desired nozzles (e.g., 4-way, 3-way, 2-way, quad directional) to the humidifier's mist outlet. Ensure all connections are secure. When routing hoses, avoid creating low points where condensation can collect and block mist flow. Hoses should ideally be sloped upwards from the humidifier to the mist output area to allow any condensation to drain back into the unit.
- Position Sensor Probe: Place the wired sensor probe in the area where you want to monitor humidity and temperature. Ensure it is not directly in the path of the mist for accurate readings.
- Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your humidifier:
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the water tank and base to prevent mineral buildup and bacterial growth. Use the provided cleaning kit for best results. Always unplug the unit before cleaning.

- Storage: If storing the humidifier for an extended period, ensure it is thoroughly cleaned and dried before packing.
7. Troubleshooting
- No Mist Output: Check if the water tank is empty. The unit will automatically shut off when water is low. Refill the tank. Ensure hoses are not kinked or blocked by condensation.
- Inaccurate Humidity Reading: Ensure the sensor probe is placed correctly and not directly in the mist path. Allow some time for the sensor to stabilize.
- Unit Not Turning On: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into both the humidifier and the electrical outlet.
- Unusual Noise: Ensure the unit is on a stable, flat surface. Check for any foreign objects in the water tank or mist outlet.
