Regular cleaning is crucial for maintaining the performance and longevity of your humidifier. It is recommended to clean the humidifier every 2-3 weeks.

- Clean Water Tank: Rinse the water tank with clean water. For thorough cleaning, use a soft cloth or the provided cleaning brush to scrub the interior.
- Clean Base: Gently wipe the base chamber with a soft, damp cloth. Use the cleaning brush to reach corners and gaps. Do not immerse the base in water.
- Clean/Replace Filter: Turn the filter counter-clockwise to disassemble it. Rinse the filter under running water. Replace the filter element every 2-3 months for optimal performance. (Replacement filters and pads are available, search for B0D2KK6WFP).

8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No mist or low mist output | Water tank empty; mineral buildup on atomizer; unit not properly assembled. | Refill water tank; clean the atomizer with the provided brush; ensure tank is correctly seated on the base. |
| Red light indicator is on | Water level is too low. | Refill the water tank. The humidifier will automatically stop misting when water is low. |
| Water leakage during first use | Improper initial setup. | Pour out all water from the tank and base. Try taking down the water tank separately to fill it, then putting it back on the base and restarting. |
| PM2.5 value increases | PM2.5 detector misidentifies mist as particulate matter. | This is a common occurrence with some detectors and does not indicate poor air quality from the humidifier. |
