  5. Turn on the humidifier as normal. The mist will carry the aroma into the air.
  6. To change scents or clean, remove the tray, discard the used pad, and wipe clean with a dry cloth.

WARNING! Use only 100% pure, water-soluble essential oils. Do not use fragrance oils, perfume, or other chemicals. Overuse of oils may damage the plastic. Clean the tray regularly to prevent clogging.
