HOW AND WHY TO USE DEMINERALIZATION CARTRIDGES
- The Homedics demineralization cartridge will help reduce the potential for white dust, a deposit of minerals left behind from using hard water in your humidifier. 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.
TO FILL WITH A PITCHER
- Remove 1 demineralization cartridge from the packaging and soak it in water for 10 minutes.
- Remove the tank cover to fill the tank
- Fill with clean, cool water or distilled water (if in an area with hard water) until the water level reaches the MAX fill line. DO NOT fill with warm or hot water.
- CAUTION: Never add essential oils or other additives to the water tank or water reservoir.
TO FILL IN THE FAUCET
- Remove 1 demineralization cartridge from the packaging and soak in water for 10 minutes.
- Use 2 hands to carry the water tank. Fill with clean, cool water or distilled water (if in an area with hard water) until the water level reaches the MAX fill line. DO NOT fill with warm or hot water.
- CAUTION: Never add essential oils or other additives to the water tank or water reservoir
- Add the soaked demineralization cartridge to the water tank.
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 TO OPERATE
POWER BUTTON
- Turns humidifier on/off.
WARM MIST
- Press to turn warm mist on/off. The warm mist icon will illuminate on the display. Once warm mist is selected, it will take 20-30 minutes to warm the mist.
TIMER
- Press the timer button until the desired auto-shutoff timer setting is displayed. The timer button will cycle through the following settings: 2, 4, 8, 12, and 0 hours. To cancel the timer at any time, press the timer button until 0 hours is displayed.
NOTE: Always be sure the humidifier has a full tank of water prior to using the timer setting. NIGHT-LIGHT/DISPLAY LIGHTS
- Press the night-light button once to turn on the night-light. The light at the bottom of the humidifier will turn on. Press the button a second time to leave the night-light on, but turn off display panel. Press the button a third time to turn off the night-light and display panel. Press the night-light button a fourth time to turn the display lights on.
PROGRAMMING THE HUMIDITY LEVEL
- The default humidistat setting is CO (continuous on). The programmable humidistat can be set in 5% increments, from 35% to 55% humidity or continuous on. The humidity level will increase by 5% each time the button is pressed and will be displayed on screen.
NOTE: Humidifier will turn off when the set humidity level is reached. Humidifier will turn on when the humidity level drops 5% below the set humidity level.
NOTE: To eliminate any programmed humidistat setting, continue to press the programmable humidistat button until you reach CO, one level after 55%. MIST OUTPUT
- Mist adjusts from the lowest output (1) to the highest output (5). To increase the mist output, press the mist output button. The corresponding mist level will be lit on the display. Use the 360-degree rotating mist nozzle to adjust the mist output direction. Do not point the mist nozzles toward walls or furniture
HOW TO USE OIL TRAY
- The oil tray is located on the back side of the humidifier at the bottom of the humidifier base.
- Push to open and remove the tray. Use the 1 pre-installed essential oil pad in the oil tray (3 total included).
- Add 5–7 drops of essential oil to the pad. You may use more or less depending on personal preference.
- CAUTION: Only place essential oil on the pad and NOT directly into the tray.
ARE ESSENTIAL OILS SAFE TO USE AROUND PETS?
- We should always exercise caution when using essential oils around pets. Keep all essential oil and aromatherapy products (like diffusers) out of the 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 wellventilated 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.
CLEANING THE OIL TRAY
- Open the oil tray and remove the pad.
- Rinse the oil tray with water and wipe dry with a soft cloth. DO NOT clean with detergent or liquid cleaners.
- NOTE: If continuing to use the same scent, set the oil pad aside for reuse. DO NOT leave a used pad in the oil tray when storing.
STORAGE
- Store in a cool, dry location.
Before storing
- Descale the humidifier following the Scale Removal instructions.
- Clean the oil tray following the Cleaning The Oil Tray instructions. DO NOT leave a used pad in the oil tray when storing.
REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY REPLACEMENT
- Use a small Phillips-head screwdriver to unscrew the battery compartment screw.
- NOTE: The screw is not removable.
- Remove the battery cover.
- Remove the button cell battery and dispose of per local regulations.

3. Nightlight button: Controls the nightlight function.
Additionally, there is a power/out of water indicator light near the nightlight button.
What settings are available on a HoMedics humidifier?
You can adjust the humidity level in 5% increments between 35% to 55% or set it to continuous mode. Once the set humidity level is reached, the humidifier will automatically turn off.
How do I reset my HoMedics humidifier?

How do I turn off my humidifier on the thermostat?
To turn off the humidifier connected to your thermostat, set the humidistat to the off position or adjust it to the lowest humidity setting.
How often should I clean my HoMedics humidifier?
Clean your humidifier every 2-3 weeks by using a mixture of 50% distilled water and 50% white vinegar. Lightly wipe the base and ultrasonic nebulizer with a cloth dampened in the mixture, then dry the unit.
How do humidifiers work without heat?
Cool mist humidifiers use either a fan to evaporate water from a wick or ultrasonic vibrations to break water into small particles, dispersing them as cool vapor into the air, raising humidity without increasing temperature.
What is the working principle of a dehumidifier?
A dehumidifier works by drawing humid air through a fan and passing it through a heat exchanger, which condenses moisture into water droplets. The dry air is then expelled outside, reducing indoor humidity.
What happens if my ultrasonic humidifier runs dry?
If the humidifier runs out of water, it should automatically shut down to prevent damage. Newer models are equipped with an auto-shutoff feature that stops the unit when water levels are low.
Is the HoMedics humidifier good?
Yes, users find the HoMedics Ultrasonic Humidifier to be stylish, quiet, and efficient, making it an excellent addition to any room.
