Important Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, always follow these basic safety precautions:

  • Read all instructions before using the humidifier.
  • Place the humidifier on a firm, flat, water-resistant surface at least 12 inches (30 cm) away from walls and appliances.
  • Do not operate the humidifier if the cord or plug is damaged.
  • Keep the humidifier out of reach of children and pets.
  • Always unplug the humidifier before filling, cleaning, or moving it.
  • Do not add essential oils directly into the water tank; use the designated aroma box.

Setup Instructions

1. Unpacking and Placement

  • Carefully remove all packaging materials and ensure all components are present.
  • Place the humidifier on a flat, stable, and water-resistant surface. Ensure it is at least 12 inches (30 cm) away from walls, furniture, and electronic devices.
  • The built-in casters allow for easy movement. Simply push the unit to your desired location.

2. Assembling the Extension Tube (Optional)

  • If you wish to elevate the mist output, gently insert the extension tube into the mist outlet on the top cover. Ensure it is securely seated.

3. Filling the Water Tank

The humidifier offers two convenient ways to fill the water tank:

  1. Top Water Filling: Remove the top cover and pour water directly into the opening until it reaches the 'MAX' line indicated on the water level window.
  2. Water Tank Filling: Lift the main unit off the base to access the water tank. Carry the tank to a sink and fill it with water. Replace the main unit securely onto the base.

Note: Always use clean, cool tap water. Distilled or demineralized water is highly recommended to minimize mineral dust and extend the life of the humidifier.

Two methods of water filling: top fill and removable tank fill, along with other features like 360 nozzle, aroma box, and casters.
