- Before using for the first time, all parts should be cleaned.
- Install the filter/filter bracket at the bottom of the water tank so that the filter bracket is slightly higher than the tank. Place the humidifier main unit on top of the water tank, ensuring that the triangle on the main unit is aligned with the [alignment marker] on the water tank. Insert the adapter's DC input into the power interface on the main unit.
- After assembly, place the smart humidifier on a suitable flat surface. Ensure that the air outlet is not obstructed and keep the air intake at least 30 cm/12 inches away from walls or other obstacles.
- Once you have confirmed that the humidifier is assembled correctly, remove the humidifier main unit, and add up to 3L water to the water tank (Note: Do not add water directly to the air outlet of the humidifier main unit!). After adding water, align and install the main unit and water tank together, ensuring the [alignment markers] are properly aligned. Finally, plug the power adapter into a power outlet (ensure the power supply meets the requirements) to begin humidifying your indoor environment.
Provirtec Smart Thermo-Hygrometer Binding
After connecting this humidifier to the app via 2.4G WiFi (see Chapter 8: App Installation), it can be paired with the Provirtec smart thermo-hygrometer.
