    ***To fill the unit with water***
    Lift the tank off the base with the handle on top. Flip the tank over. There's a screw down lid on the bottom of the tank. Unscrew this lid. Fill the tank with water and tightly replace the cap. Flip the tank back over and carefully place the tank back onto the base, making sure that the base is on a level surface and being careful not to accidentally hit the small spring-loaded plunger on the bottom of the tank. The plunger on the bottom should line up with the round peg in the base. Make sure the tank is secure and the water will bubble down into the base automatically.

      Is the element clean? If the grey element is not clean and free of mineral buildup, the element won’t heat correctly and may shut off.

    • @FansandCars

      Sometimes moisture can condense on the bottom because of the temperature difference between the room and the hot boiling water inside the humidifier. So I just use a small towel underneath to prevent this.

      Disassembly is pretty easy but cleaning the inside of the tank is kind of difficult without a brush to help you reach all the way inside. You can also clean around the gray heater element with a toothbrush.

    • @FansandCars
      @FansandCars  Год назад

      I’ve had mine for almost 3 years and no issues so far. I have hard water so the heating element requires frequent cleaning of the minerals and scale but no leaks from the base. There was one occasion that it started leaking from around the tank but that was because I didn’t put the tank cap on correctly and the tank overflowed the base.

      @@FansandCars Do the feet on yours all have a tiny pinhole in each? I didn't notice this when I first got it. But when water goes down in the base, it just leaks right out of the pinhole in each foot. I'm either going to Flex Seal them closed, or just use a water catching tray under it. Still don't know if something happen to it, or design that way.
