Filling Humidifier with Water

The humidifier consists of two parts:

    - the fan module with the hygrometer and the control display
    - the water cartridge         

The two parts snap into each other by hand. In order to disconnect the parts slide them first and move apart.




Water cartridge comes without water. It has to be filled before use and re-filled after certain period of time
depending on intensity of the operations. If the humidifier does not maintain humidity the cartridge needs to 
be refilled.

Fill the cartridge with distilled water in the large hole on top of the water cartridge.

Please use ONLY DISTILLED water for refills.

Please allow the water to be absorbed by the foam inside the water cartridge.
