Using your new Aroma Diffuser

Once the cup has been filled to the maximum level essential oils can be added to the water. Be sure to follow the essential oil instructions to ensure that the correct amount is used.
(Refer to the 2 Water Level Mark on page 1).
Replace the lid, ensuring that it is correctly aligned and fitting snugly into the base of the unit. If the lid is not installed correctly there will be a gap between it and the base which will allow water to drip down the side of the unit. If the lid does not fit correctly rotate and try again.
