Important: For safety during transport, the remote control does not include batteries. Please install AAA 1.5V batteries before use.
Battery Safety Instructions:
- Install batteries strictly according to polarity (+ and -) markings.
- Incorrect installation may cause malfunction or battery leakage.
- Do not mix new and used batteries, or batteries of different types (e.g., alkaline, carbon-zinc). Mixed use can reduce performance and increase leakage risk.
- Replace depleted batteries promptly. Recycle or dispose of used batteries according to local regulations. Do not dispose of them in household waste.
- In case of electrolyte leakage, immediately remove batteries from the remote and keep them away from the unit. If leakage contacts skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with clean water and consult a doctor if necessary.
Operation
First Use
- Remove all packaging, the tube, remote control, and user manual from the water tank.
- Remove the protective packaging from the water pump.
- Place the main unit onto the water tank. The water pump does not need to be fixed to the bottom of the tank.
- Position the unit on a flat surface at least 30 cm from walls. Use a waterproof mat underneath to prevent overflow.
Extension Tube
To increase the height or range of the mist, install the provided extension tube:
- Remove the mist nozzle.
- Place the extension tube onto the mist outlet.
- Attach the mist nozzle to the end of the extension tube.
Note: The extension tube should rest loosely on the mist outlet to allow easy adjustment of mist direction. If water droplets form on the tube's edge, it may indicate high ambient humidity. Reduce humidity level or mist output.
Refilling Water
There are two methods for adding water:
- Top Refill: Do not add water through the mist nozzle.
- Bottom Refill: Do not fill beyond the MAX line.
Note:
- Use purified or distilled water to minimize white dust buildup.
- Place a waterproof mat under the humidifier in case of overflow.
- Refill only with room temperature water - never use hot water, boiling water, or other liquids.
- Avoid pouring water into the mist outlet to prevent damage to internal components and malfunction.
- Never add essential oils directly into the water tank to avoid damaging components.
White Dust (Mineral Residue)
What is White Dust?
White dust (mineral residue) is a powdery buildup that may appear near your humidifier. It comes from the minerals (calcium, magnesium) naturally present in water, especially in hard water areas. The harder the water, the more visible these deposits.
Origin of the Phenomenon:
The humidifier does not create these residues; it simply releases the minerals naturally present in the water. Using distilled water significantly reduces or eliminates these deposits. This process is natural and does not indicate a malfunction.
Solution: Demineralization Cartridge
- Recommended replacement: Every 30 to 40 refills.
- More frequently in case of very hard water.
- Prefer distilled water if deposits persist.
- Purchase cartridges at: lacidoll.com

Adding Essential Oils
- Locate & Remove: Remove the aroma diffuser tray.
- Insert Pad: Place an aroma pad into the tray.
- Add Oil: Pour 2-5 drops of essential oil directly onto the pad.
- Reinstall: Securely place the tray back.
- Activate: Turn on the humidifier to diffuse the fragrance.
Important:
- Use only the provided pad. Never pour oils directly into the tray, tank, or other components.
- Without a Pad? Use a sponge of similar size or a folded paper towel as a substitute.
- Fragrance Intensity: This humidifier is not a dedicated diffuser; the fragrance will be subtle.
