HOW TO USE
ESSENTIAL OIL
Use your favorite essential oil to deliver scent into the air.
NOTE: For use with the included HoMedics essential oil pads only.
NOTE: Do not leave a filled essential oil pad in the oil tray of the humidifier if it will be out of use for a
long period of time.
HOW TO FILL
CAUTION: Before filling tanks with water, turn the power off and unplug the unit from the outlet.
NOTE: Always use 2 hands to carry the water tank.
1. Remove the tank from the humidifier
base. Turn the tank upside down
and remove the tank cap by turning
counterclockwise.
2. Fill the water tanks with clean, cool (not cold)
water. We recommend using distilled water if
you live in a hard water area.
CAUTION: Never add essential oils or any other
additives to the water tank or water reservoir.
Even a few drops will damage the unit.
3. Replace the tank cap by turning clockwise until tight. Turn over and place the tank back on the
humidifier base, making sure it is firmly seated. Repeat the process for the second tank.

ARE ESSENTIAL OILS SAFE TO USE AROUND PETS?
We should always exercise caution when using essential oils around our pets. Keep all essential oil and
aromatherapy products (like diffusers) out of reach of pets. Keep open bottles away from pets to avoid
internal consumption. We do not recommend the topical use of essential oils on pets, as they have a
strong sense of smell and cannot get rid of the oil if they don’t like it or it is disturbing them. When
diffusing essential oils around pets, always diffuse in a well-ventilated area and leave an option for them
to remove themselves from the space, such as leaving a door open. Every animal is different, so carefully
observe how each animal responds when introducing an essential oil for the first time. If irritation occurs,
discontinue the use of the essential oil. We recommend seeking medical attention if ingestion of essential
oil occurs.
ADDING ESSENTIAL OILS
WARNING: PUTTING OIL ANYWHERE BUT THE OIL TRAY WILL DAMAGE THE HUMIDIFIER.
1. The oil tray is located on the
back of the humidifier under
the water tank.
2. Push to open and remove the tray. Place 1 essential oil
pad (3 included) into the oil tray.
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. Remove the tanks from humidifier base and turn them over.
3. Unscrew the tank caps by turning counterclockwise.
4. Fill each tank with water as shown in the How to Fill section of the instructions.
5. Add the soaked Demineralization Cartridge into each tank.
6. Replace the tank caps by turning clockwise.
7. Turn the tanks over and place back on the base.
Demineralization Cartridge
To purchase new Demineralization Cartridges, Model # UHE-HDC4, go back to the retailer (where you purchased your humidifier), or visit
