HOW TO FILL

CAUTION: Before filling the tank with water, turn the power off and unplug the power adapter from the wall outlet and from the top cover.
NOTE: The convenient top-fill tank can be filled with a pitcher or at the faucet.

HOW AND WHY TO USE DEMINERALIZATION CARTRIDGES

The Homedics demineralization cartridge will help reduce the potential for white dust, a deposit of minerals left behind from using hard water in your humidifier. The cartridge should be replaced every 30–40 fillings. The cartridge may need to be replaced more often if you are using very hard water.

TO FILL WITH A PITCHER

Before filling with water for the first time, remove 1 demineralization cartridge from the packaging and soak in water for 10 minutes. Remove the top cover and place in the water tank.
Fill the tank with clean, cool water or distilled water (if in an area with hard water) until the water level reaches the MAX fill line. NOTE: Do not fill past the MAX fill line.
CAUTION: Never add essential oils or any other additives to the water tank. Even a few drops will damage the unit.

TO FILL AT THE FAUCET

Before filling with water for the first time, remove 1 demineralization cartridge from the packaging and soak in water for 10 minutes.
To fill at the faucet, push the 2 side push lock buttons to remove the top\ cover.
Fill the tank with clean, cool water or distilled water (if in an area with hard water) until the water is between the MIN & MAX fill lines.
NOTE: Do not fill past the MAX fill line.
CAUTION: Never add essential oils or any other additives to the water tank. Even a few drops will damage the unit.
Place the soaked demineralization cartridge in the water tank.
Replace the top cover making sure it is locked securely to the water tank.

ABOUT WHITE DUST

Use of high mineral content hard water may cause a white mineral residue to accumulate on surfaces in the room near the humidifier. The mineral residue is commonly called “white dust.” The higher the mineral content (or, the harder your water is), the greater the potential for white dust. The white dust is not caused by a defect in the humidifier. It is caused only by minerals suspended in the water.

HOW TO OPERATE

Insert single pin plug into the top of the humidifier, then plug the adapter into a 120-volt AC electrical outlet.

POWER BUTTON
Turns humidifier on/off.

MIST OUTPUT
Mist adjusts from the lowest output (1) to the highest output (3). To increase the mist output, press the mist output Function Icon button. The corresponding mist level will be lit on the display. Do not point the mist nozzle toward walls or furniture.

TIMER
Press the timer button until the desired auto-shutoff timer setting is displayed. The timer button will cycle through the following settings: 4, 8, 12 hours and off. To cancel the timer at any time, press the timer button until all LEDs are off.
NOTE: Always be sure the humidifier has a full tank of water prior to using the timer setting.

NIGHT-LIGHT/DISPLAY LIGHTS
Press the night-light button to turn the night-light on/off.

CLEAN REMINDER
The LED above the clean icon will illuminate red indicating it is time to clean the transducer/ultrasonic membrane. See cleaning instructions in the How to clean and care section. Press and hold the timer and night-light buttons until the red light turns off.

HOW TO USE THE OIL TRAY

CAUTION: Putting oil anywhere but the oil tray will damage the humidifier.
Use your favorite essential oil to deliver aroma into the air.

The oil tray is located on the back of the humidifier near the top.
Push to open and remove the tray
Use the 1 preinstalled aroma pad in the oil tray (3 included).
Add 5–7 drops of essential oil to the pad. You may use more or less depending on personal preference.
WARNING: Only place essential oil on the pad and NOT directly into the tray.
Place the oil tray back in its compartment and push to close. The scent will start automatically when the mist is turned on.

NOTE: For use with the included Homedics essential oil pads only.
NOTE: Do not leave a filled essential oil pad in the oil tray if it will be out of use for a long period of time.

ARE ESSENTIAL OILS SAFE TO USE AROUND PETS?

We should always exercise caution when using essential oils around pets. Keep all essential oil and aromatherapy products (like diffusers) out of the reach of pets. Keep open bottles away from pets to avoid internal consumption. We do not recommend the topical use of essential oils on pets, as they have a strong sense of smell and cannot get rid of the oil if they don’t like it or it is disturbing them. When diffusing essential oils around pets, always diffuse in a well-ventilated area and leave an option for them to remove themselves from the space, such as leaving a door open. Every animal is different, so carefully observe how each animal responds when introducing an essential oil for the first time. If irritation occurs, discontinue the use of the essential oil. We recommend seeking medical attention if ingestion of essential oil occurs.

HOW TO CLEAN AND CARE

CAUTION: Before cleaning the unit, turn power off, unplug from the wall outlet and unplug the AC Adapter plug from the top of the humidifier.

CLEANING THE TRANSDUCER/ULTRASONIC MEMBRANE
The transducer/ultrasonic membrane must be cleaned to remove water mineral deposits when the red LED is illuminated above the clean transducer/ultrasonic membrane symbol. Failure to do so may cause reduced or no mist output.

Push the 2 side lock buttons to remove the top cover.
Pour out any water remaining in the tank.
Open the transducer/ultrasonic membrane door and remove the float to access the transducer/ultrasonic membrane.
Clean the transducer/ultrasonic membrane and float with a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and water on a cotton swab. Wipe off with a damp cotton swab.
NEVER touch the transducer/ultrasonic membrane with your fingers; the natural oils in the skin can damage the surface.
NEVER submerge the top in water or any other liquid.
After cleaning, reassemble the humidifier, fill with water, plug in, and turn on.
Press and hold the timer and nightlight buttons, until the red LED light above the clean symbol turns off.

HOW TO CLEAN AND CARE

TO CLEAN THE TANK
Remove the top cover from the humidifier.
Every day: Empty and rinse the inside of the tank before refilling.
Monthly or as needed: To remove any scale or buildup, use a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and lukewarm water to clean the inside of the tank.

TO CLEAN THE OIL TRAY
Open the oil tray and remove the pad. Essential oil pads should be changed when switching to a different scent. If continuing to use the same scent, set the oil pad aside for reuse. Wipe the inside of the oil tray with a soft cloth. Place the essential oil pad back in the tray and close.
NOTE: Remove the essential oil pad when storing.

TO CLEAN THE SURFACE
Clean the surface of the unit with a soft, damp cloth.

STORAGE
