GETTING STARTED
1. Place the humidifier on a flat, level,
elevated, and water-resistant surface,
such as a table or nightstand. Place the
humidifier at least 12 inches / 30 cm away
from walls and appliances to prevent
them from getting wet, and to ensure
the humidity sensor functions correctly.
[Figure 2.1] Make sure the room is well-
ventilated.
Note:
Do not place the humidifier directly
on floors, carpets, or rugs.
Place a towel or mat underneath
the humidifier when using it for
long periods of time. When the
humidifier produces a high volume
of mist, moisture may collect around
the humidifier, making the surface
around it wet.
Note:
We recommend using purified or
distilled water in the humidifier.
The maximum capacity is 1.5 gal / 6 L.
Before replacing the water tank cap,
make sure the silicone ring around
the cap is secure.
Figure 2.1
Figure 2.2
Figure 2.3
2. Remove the nozzle cap from the water
tank. Carefully use the handle to remove
the water tank from the base. [Figure 2.2]
3. Flip the tank over and twist the water
tank cap counterclockwise to remove it.
[Figure 2.3]
4. Pour water into the opening. Fill the
tank at least halfway with cold or room
temperature water. Do not use hot water.
Direct the nozzles away from
walls and appliances.

USING YOUR HUMIDIFIER (CONT.)
You can set a timer between 1 and 12 hours.
Auto Mode uses the humidifier’s sensor to
automatically adjust the mist level (or turn it
o) to maintain a humidity level of 55–68%
RH (relative humidity). The humidifier will run
continuously when relative humidity is below
54% RH and will stop when it reaches 68% RH.
This table shows the mist levels that Auto
Mode will use dierent relative humidity levels.
While the humidifier is plugged in, it will
remember your settings (except Timer)
when turned o, and will resume those
settings when turned back on.
The humidifier will automatically turn o
when all of the water in the tank has been
diused, or if the tank has been removed
from the base. will show on the display
(and the rest of the display will turn o) until
more water is added to the water tank, or
until the tank is placed properly back on the
base. [Figure 3.3]
The display will automatically dim after 30
seconds of inactivity.
The mineral absorption pads help prevent
mineral buildup (scale) inside the humidifier,

USING YOUR HUMIDIFIER (CONT.)
The humidifier can be used for
aromatherapy.
Using the Aroma Box
1. Pull out the aroma box on the left side
of the humidifier. [Figures 3.4]
2. Put 2–3 drops of essential oil on the
aroma pad. [Figure 3.5]
3. Place the aroma box back into the
humidifier.
4. Turn on the humidifier. The humidifier
will automatically diuse aroma when
used.
Note:
Do not add essential oils, supplemental
water treatment liquids, or third-party
water filters into the water tank or base.
Only add essential oils to the aroma
pad. [Figure 3.6]
The aroma pads can be cleaned and
reused after diusing essential oils (see
Cleaning the Aroma Pad, page 18).
The aroma is intended to be light. This
humidifier is not an aroma diuser.
Figure 3.4

Your humidifier must have the correct
amount of water in the inner chamber to
work properly. If there is too much water in
the inner chamber, the humidifier cannot
create mist.
Figure 4.2
Figure 4.3
Figure 4.1
IMPORTANT TIPS
Never pour water directly into the
inner chamber. Only add water to the
water tank. [Figure 4.1] The humidifier
will automatically release the correct
amount of water into the inner chamber.
Avoid moving or shaking the humidifier.
[Figure 4.2] This may cause the water
tank to release too much water into the
inner chamber.
Before moving the humidifier, turn it o,
unplug it, and remove the water tank.
If your humidifier doesn’t produce mist
correctly, there may be too much water
in the inner chamber. Pour out the water
in the inner chamber, refill the tank, and
place the tank back on the base.
[Figure 4.3]

The water tank may leak if not placed
properly on the base.

Make sure the silicone ring around the
water tank cap is secure at all times.
[Figure 4.4]
Twist and secure the cap tightly onto
the water tank. [Figure 4.5]
Note: A small gap between the cap
and the tank is normal.
Before moving the humidifier, remove
the tank from the base and empty any
excess water from the inner chamber of
the base.
Wipe o any excess water on the top
and bottom of the base.
Do not shake the humidifier or place
it on an inclined surface. Make sure
to place the humidifier on a flat, level
surface. [Figure 4.6]
IMPORTANT TIPS (CONT.)
16
Note: If you’ve been using the warm
mist setting, allow the humidifier to cool
before cleaning.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Note:
All maintenance should be done on
a water-resistant surface, such as a
kitchen counter.
Change the water daily to avoid
bacteria growth.
Use a tissue or cloth to clean the
nozzles regularly.
If not using the humidifier for 1 week or
longer, do not leave water inside. Clean
and dry the humidifier instead.
Note:
Never immerse the base in water or
liquid. Do not place any part of the
humidifier in a dishwasher.
Do not use detergents to clean the
humidifier.
Cleaning
You should clean your humidifier every
week, and when you’re ready to store it.
1. Unplug the humidifier. Always make
sure the humidifier is unplugged before
cleaning.
2. Remove and rinse the nozzle cap.
[Figure 5.1]
3. Remove the water tank from the base
and pour out any water from the inner
chamber of the base. [Figure 5.2] If
you’ve used the warm mist setting, use
caution in case the water is still hot.
4. Rinse the tank and inner chamber with
room temperature water.
5. Remove the mist channel and mist tube.
[Figure 5.3] Detach the mist tube from
the mist channel by twisting the tube
counterclockwise. Rinse both parts.

CARE & MAINTENANCE (CONT.)
6. To remove mineral buildup (scale):
a. Fill the tank with 3 US cups / 710 mL
of distilled white vinegar. [Figure 5.4]
b. Replace the water tank cap and
gently shake to coat all sides of the
water tank. [Figure 5.5]
c. Place the tank on the base and soak
for 15–20 minutes. Vinegar will drain
into the inner chamber and loosen
scale in the tank and in the inner
chamber (including the transducer
and float). [Figure 5.6]
d. Remove the tank and pour out any
vinegar. [Figure 5.7]
e. Use the included cleaning brush and
a soft cloth to remove scale.

Problem Possible Solution
Little or no mist comes
out of the nozzles.
Plug in the humidifier and turn it on.
Fill the water tank.
Clean the humidifier (see Care & Maintenance, page 16).
Water may be in the air vent. Take the water tank o and allow
the vent to fully air dry before using again.
Clean the humidifier, especially the nozzles and transducer (see
Care & Maintenance, page 16). Make sure nothing is blocking
the air vent.
There may be too much water in the inner chamber. Empty the
inner chamber. Refill the water tank (not the inner chamber) and
place the water tank properly onto the base.
Humidifier uses water
too quickly.
The humidifier uses up water based on the environmental
temperature and humidity. If your environment is cold and/or dry,
the humidifier will run out of water faster.
Using the warm mist function will use up water faster.
Humidifier produces an
unusual smell.
If the humidifier is new, remove the water tank cap and place the
water tank in a cool, dry place for 12 hours.
If essential oils were diused, rinse the aroma pad and allow it to
dry.
Clean the humidifier (see Care & Maintenance, page 16).
Humidifier makes a loud
or unusual noise.
Make sure the water tank is properly in place (see Getting
Started, page 8).
Place humidifier on a flat, level surface.
Fill the water tank.
When using the warm mist function, the heating element will
make a gurgling noise if the water level is low. Add more water to
the water tank.
The humidifier may be malfunctioning. Stop using the humidifier
and contact Customer Support (see page 25).
Mist leaks from the
base.
Make sure the water tank is properly in place (see Getting
Started, page 8).
