USING THE MEDICINE CUP
This humidifier features a Medicine Cup that
can be used with your favorite essential oil
or liquid inhalant (like Vicks VapoSteam) for
added enjoyment. The cup is heated to help
evaporate the oil. This is not a diffuser – the
oil does not come in contact with the water
but is passively evaporated into the air.
Essential oil and inhalant are not included.
1.
Turn off the humidifier.
2.
Add Vicks VapoSteam or essential oil to the Medicine Cup, turn on the humidifier.
WARNING: DO NOT ADD ESSENTIAL OILS, LIQUID INHALANTS OR ANY ADDITIVES TO THE
WATER. DOING SO CAN DAMAGE THE HUMIDIFIER AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
3.
To clean the Medicine Cup wait 5 minutes after turning the unit off. Then gently wipe residue from the cup
with a soft cloth.

HARD WATER AND YOUR HUMIDIFIER
High mineral content in your water, also known as hard water, may cause a white mineral residue to
accumulate on surfaces in the room near the humidifier. This mineral residue is commonly referred to as
white dust. The higher the mineral content (hardness) of your water, the greater the potential that an ultrasonic
humidifier may produce white dust.
With warm mist humidifiers the minerals can cling to the heating element which can prevent it from running
efficiently. It is important to clean the heating element regularly.
White dust is not a result of a defect or flaw in the humidifier. It is a result of the amount of minerals suspended
in the water you are using. Tap water can be diluted with distilled water to reduce white dust.
