HOW TO OPERATE

Power ON
Plug in adapter to wall and diffuser. The diffuser will beep to indicate that the diffuser is plugged in and ON. If plugged in already, press the button located on the diffuser base or remote.
Power OFF
Press to turn off the diffuser.
Intensity Setting
The diffuser has 9 scent levels. On the diffuser base, press to increase the intensity, press to decrease the intensity. On the remote press your preferred (1-9) level to start. The diffuser does not emit fragrance oil constantly. The diffuser emits the fragrance oil intermittently over short periods of time. Your diffuser is set to mist and pause at different time intervals based on the intensity setting you choose. The following chart shows the timed intervals for each aroma intensity setting.

Remote Control
Remove pull tab from remote control before using.
Timer
Press timer button on diffuser to cycle through the timer options: 1, 2, 4, or 8 hours and off. On the remote, the user can select the desired timer duration or turn the timer off by pressing the corresponding button.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE
Control Panel Illumination For convenience, the Control Panel Display and LEDs turn OFF after 1 minute without user activity. To illuminate Control Panel Display, press any button on the Control Panel or on the Remote Control. Your diffuser will continue to mist even when the LED display light is off.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Why does the mist start and then stop?
What do the different strength settings mean?

SereneScent™ is designed to mist and pause at different time intervals based on the intensity you select. Ex: When the diffuser is at intensity setting 5, it will release a visible aroma mist for 20 seconds then pause for 160 seconds before starting again for another 20 seconds.

My unit must be broken, it keeps turning off.
Every time I turn my diffuser on, the light turns off.
No need to be concerned, your diffuser is operating as it should! The SereneScent™ Diffuser has been designed to go into “sleep mode” where all LEDs turn off after 60 seconds if left untouched. To illuminate, press any button on the diffuser or remote. This design ensures that those with SereneScent™ in the bedroom won’t be disturbed by the light while sleeping.

EQUIPMENT CLEANING
The diffuser may need to be cleaned when:

You’re about to change to another SereneScent™ 120 ml oil bottle.
The atomization volume becomes weak.

Cleaning steps:

Fill a clean bottle with 90% isopropyl alcohol or higher.

ARE ESSENTIAL OILS SAFE TO USE AROUND PETS?

Although Homedics SereneScent™ is made from essential oils, we should always exercise caution when using essential oils around our pets. Keep all products out of reach of pets. Keep open bottles away from pets to avoid internal consumption. When diffusing, always diffuse in a well-ventilated area and leave an option for them to remove themselves from the space. Every animal is different, so carefully observe how each animal responds when introducing essential oils for the first time. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. We recommend seeking medical attention if ingestion of essential oil occurs.
