OPERATIONS AND FUNCTIONS
Add Water
- Remove the nozzle and turn the water tank upside down.
- Remove the tank cap and fill the tank with clean and cool water only.
- Attach the tank cap and place the tank back onto the base. Make sure it fits together securely so that water can go from the tank to the reservoir. Put the nozzle back on.
- If tap water is too hard, it is recommended to use filtered or distilled water to avoid white dust. DO NOT use hot water.
- DO NOT add any essential oils or medicinal tablets to the water tank.
- DO NOT add water into the base or through the nozzle.
- DO NOT move the humidifier while the water tank is full of water to avoid leakage or base overfalling.
