Important tip:
DO NOT leave the humidifier plugged in for prolonged periods (i.e. several days or more) without use. This causes premature failure of the circuitry. When the humidifier is not in use, press the control button until the light goes off, then UNPLUG it.
Conseil important:
: Ne laissez pas l'humidificateur branché pendant de longues périodes (c'est-à-dire plusieurs jours ou plus) sans utilisation. Cela provoque une défaillance prématurée des circuits. Lorsque l'humidificateur n'est pas utilisé, appuyez sur le bouton de commande jusqu'à ce que le voyant s'éteigne, puis débranchez-le..

Table of contents
We're experts in improving indoor air quality, and our ultrasonic humidifier will dissipate dryness and increase moisture wherever you choose to use it. To ensure optimal performance, please read this guide carefully before use. The ultrasonic humidifier atomizes water into ultra-fine particles using the principle of ultrasonic high-frequency oscillation, and diffuses water into the air through a pneumatic device to evenly humidify the air.

-
3 Twist open the valvе.
-
4 Fill with water.
DO NOT add any other substance other than tap water or filtered water. -
5 Reattach valve to water tank and reposition water tank onto the base with the water level window on the right side of the water tank. If using the handle to reposition the water tank onto the base, place another hand underneath the tank for support. NOTE: Allow about 10 seconds for water to flow from water tank into the base before you turn the unit on.
-
6 OPTIONAL: Add essential oil to the white sponge in the essential oil tray located on the backside of the base.
-
7 A. Press the control button to set your desired mist output level. Refer to the illustration below.
B. NIGHT LIGHT OPERATION: Press and hold the control button at any time for three seconds to turn on or turn off the LED night light located inside the water tank. The water level window on the front side of the unit and underneath the water tank should light up blue.

Maintenance
IMPORTANT TIP: DO NOT leave the humidifier plugged in for prolonged period (i.e. several days or more) without use. This causes premature failure of the circuitry. When the humidifier is not use, turn the knob to the OFF position and UNPLUG it.
WARNING
Before performing any type of maintenance and cleaning, be sure to unplug the unit from its power source.
CLEAN THE WATER TANK (ONCE EVERY 2-3 WEEKS)
Turn unit OFF and unplug from the wall socket.
CLEAN BASE (ONCE A WEEK)
Turn unit OFF and unplug from wall socket.
Warning: Use both hands to lift entire base and tilt to one side to pour water out as shown in (Fig. 7). Use mild dish soap and water to clean the base and clean away any residue near the floater and the atomizer with a brush as shown in (Fig. 7). Only pour water into the base using a cup, never direct from a faucet. Never place the base under running water as this could cause water flow to reach the motor located at the bottom of the base.
