How to Fill

Caution: Before filling the tank, turn off and unplug the humidifier. Always use two hands to carry the water tank.

To Fill with a Pitcher:

1. Remove the top cover. Rinse the tank with water before filling.
2. Fill with clean, cool or distilled water (if in an area with hard water) until the water level reaches the MAX fill line. DO NOT fill with warm or hot water.

About White Dust:

Using hard water may cause a white mineral residue, or "white dust," to accumulate on surfaces near the humidifier. This is due to minerals suspended in the water and not a defect in the humidifier. Use distilled water if white dust is an issue.

How to Operate

How to Use Oil Tray

1. Locate the oil tray on the back of the humidifier. Push to open and remove the oil tray.
2. Add 5-7 drops of essential oil to one of the included essential oil pads (3 total). You may use more or less depending on personal preference.
3. Caution: Only place essential oil on the pad, NOT directly into the tray.
4. Place the oil tray back into its compartment and push to close. The scent will start automatically when the mist is turned on.

Note: Use only with the included Homedics essential oil pads. Do not leave a used pad in the oil tray if the unit will be unused for a long period.

Are Essential Oils Safe to Use Around Pets?

Exercise caution when using essential oils around pets. Keep all essential oil and aromatherapy products out of reach of pets. Keep open bottles away from pets to avoid ingestion. Do not apply essential oils topically to pets. When diffusing, always do so in a well-ventilated area and allow pets to leave the space if they choose. Observe your pet's response carefully. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. Seek veterinary attention if ingestion occurs.
