correctly attached.

temperature: increase the desired humidity.
Detergent residue in the water tank: Wash the water tank
out and try again.
The surface of the ultrasonic disk is dirty. Clean with
white vinegar.
The water in the unit is too cold: Replace with cool, but
not cold water.

It may take 10-15 min. before warm humidity is created.

Hard water may deposit a certain amount of dust. Dust in
the air also settles because of added humidity in the room.
Use distilled water if this becomes a nuisance.
