Once the water tank has been filled to the MAX fill line, replace the top part of the unit back onto the water tank, fasten the water tank fixtures, and slide the pump paddle back into the water tank.

OTHER USES
This unit can also be used as a fan. Before using as a fan only, use the ‘air dry’ function to completely dry the unit and the honeycomb filter. Follow steps
