Safety Instructions
General Safety
- Only use the humidifier as described in this manual.
- When not in use for an extended period, turn the humidifier off and disconnect the plug from the outlet.
- Do not use the humidifier in wet environments.
- Keep the humidifier out of reach from children.
- Do not attempt to disassemble the humidifier or its components.
- Always unplug the humidifier from power before cleaning it or detaching the water tank from the humidifier base.
- Always place the humidifier on a flat, horizontal surface before using.
- Only fill the water tank with clean water. Never fill the water tank with any other liquids.
- Do not place the humidifier near heat sources such as stovetops, ovens, or radiators.
- Do not place the humidifier directly on carpets or rugs.
- Do not use non-Govee humidifier parts as replacement parts for this product.
- Do not cover the nozzle while the humidifier is on, as this may damage the humidifier.
- Remove the water tank from the base before moving the humidifier.
- Do not immerse the humidifier base, power cord, or power plug in water.
- If the humidifier is damaged or is not functioning properly, stop using it and contact Customer Support immediately.
- Not for commercial use. Household use only.
- To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or other injury, always follow all instructions and safety guidelines.
Power Cord & Plug
- Ensure that the plug fits properly into a polarized outlet.
- Do not handle the power cord or plug with wet hands. Keep the power cord and plug away from liquids.
- Your humidifier has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other), which fits into a polarized outlet in only one orientation. This is a safety feature to reduce the risk of electric shock. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug to the correct orientation. If it still does not fit, do not bypass this safety feature and try forcing the plug into the outlet; instead, do not use it with the outlet.
Risk of Leaks and Electric Shock
- Do not add essential oils, supplemental water treatment liquids, or water filters into the water tank or base chamber, as this may damage the humidifier and cause leaks.
- Only add essential oils to the aroma pad.

Cleaning the Humidifier
The humidifier should be cleaned after a week of use or before being stored away.
Cleaning Steps
- Unplug the humidifier.
- Remove and rinse the water tank cover.
- Remove the water tank from the base and pour out any water from the tank and base chamber.
- Rinse the tank and base chamber with room temperature water.
Note:
- Do not let water into the air inlet or outlet when cleaning the humidifier's base with running water.
- If water does accidentally enter the base's inlet or outlet, place the humidifier base in a ventilated place to dry before using.
Descaling the Humidifier
- Fill the tank with 3 cups (710 mL) of distilled white vinegar.
- Put the tank cover on and swish the vinegar around the tank.
- Place the tank on the base and soak for 15–20 minutes. Vinegar will drain into the base chamber and loosen scale (mineral buildup) in the tank and in the base chamber (including the transducer and float).
- Remove the tank, remove the tank cover, and pour out all vinegar.
- Remove the float from the base chamber by pulling it out of the float bracket. One side of this bracket is open to allow the float's prongs to be removed from the bracket.
Note:
- It is unnecessary to remove the float for cleaning in normal circumstances.
- If the float is removed, make sure to place it back in the correct position as inaccurate positioning may cause the humidifier to leak.
- Place the float in a small container. Fill with enough vinegar to cover the float. Let it soak for 15-20 minutes.
- Use a soft cloth and the included cleaning brush to remove scale from all parts.
- Rinse all parts until the vinegar smell is completely gone.
- Dry all parts with a cloth. Make sure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing.
Cleaning the Aroma Pad
- Pull out the aroma box from the back of the base.
- Remove the aroma pad and rinse under warm running water.
- Dry with a clean cloth and place it back into the aroma box.
Note: Do not pour liquid cleaners or detergents into the aroma pad or box.
Reassembling
The float must be correctly reconnected if removed. Inaccurate positioning may cause the humidifier to leak.
- Reinsert the float back into the base chamber.
- Lower the float into the base chamber.
- Make sure the correct side of the float is facing up.
- Place the larger prong into the open side of the float brackets.
- Place the tank back on the base. Refill the tank if necessary.
- Finally, place the tank cover back on the water tank.
Storing
Follow the cleaning instructions and allow all parts to dry completely before storing. Store the humidifier in a cool, dry place.
