3. 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. 4. Place the oil tray back in its compartment and push to close. The scent will start automatically when the mist is turned on. 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 AND WHY TO USE DEMINERALIZATION CARTRIDGES The HoMedics Demineralization Cartridge will help reduce the potential for white dust. 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. Replace the cartridge when you notice an increase in white dust buildup. If white dust still forms around the humidifier after a new cartridge has been installed, consider using distilled water. If you live in an area with hard water or use a water softener, we recommend using distilled water for better results from your humidifier. Never use water-softening additives in your humidifier. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Remove demineralization cartridges from packaging and let them soak in water for 10 minutes. 2. Fill the tank with water as shown in the How to Fill section of the instructions. 3. Add the soaked demineralization cartridge into the tank.
