Maintenance

Regular cleaning and filter replacement are crucial for optimal performance and hygiene.

1. Cleaning the Water Tank

• Turn off and unplug the humidifier.
• Remove the water tank and empty any remaining water.
• Fill the tank with 3 cups of distilled white vinegar and swirl it around. Let it soak for 15-20 minutes to loosen mineral buildup.
• Pour out the vinegar and use a soft cloth or cleaning brush to gently remove any remaining buildup.
• Rinse the tank thoroughly until it no longer smells of vinegar.

2. Cleaning the Wick Filter and Floats

• Detach the wick cover, wick filter, and floats from the humidifier base.
• Soak the floats, wick cover, and wick frame in a solution of 50% water and 50% distilled white vinegar for 15-20 minutes.
• Rinse all parts thoroughly until they no longer smell of vinegar.
• Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling.

3. Filter Replacement

• The filters typically last for more than 3 months under normal use.
• Track filter usage progress through the VeSync app.
• To purchase replacement filters, search for "LEVOIT Sprout Filter".

Troubleshooting

• Sensor Light: The sensor light remains off during normal operation. It briefly turns on for a few seconds when you touch the button to indicate status.
• Humidifier Effectiveness: Effectiveness may be limited in reaching another floor or a separate room. For best results, place the unit in the specific room where humidification is needed.
• Runtime: Arid environments or higher temperatures may reduce overall runtime. Runtime performance may also vary depending on the selected mist level (e.g., Sleep Mist Level: Up to 39H, Min Mist Level: Up to 27H, Max Mist Level: Up to 12H).
• App Disconnection: If the VeSync app occasionally disconnects, try restarting the app or checking your Wi-Fi connection. Ensure the humidifier's firmware is up to date.
• No Mist Output: If the unit is running but no mist is coming out, check the water level. If the tank is full, ensure the wick filter is properly installed and wet.
• Firmware Updates: To ensure the best user experience, we recommend upgrading to the latest firmware as soon as the device is connected to Wi-Fi.
