4.3 Attaching Mist Nozzles and Extension Tube

Choose between the compact 360° rotating mist nozzle or the extended tube for higher mist output.

1. For the 360° rotating mist nozzle: Simply place it directly onto the mist outlet on the top cover. Adjust its direction as needed.
2. For the extended tube: Remove the standard mist nozzle. Place the mist tube kit base onto the mist outlet, then attach the extended tube onto the base. This helps spray mist higher, preventing wetting of the floor, ideal for large rooms or tall ceilings.
