Once the humidifier can't work normally, don't repair it manually, so as not to cause wiring errors of components, which will lead to short circuit and accidents when it is used next time.

Humidifier needs frequent water change and cleaning. When cleaning scale, you can brush it with a brush, and then clean it with detergent when the machine is dry. When cleaning, remember to clean the water outlet channel of the water mist except the water tank, water tank and other parts.

Don't put any essence in the water of the humidifier. Although a smell can be added to the water mist, improper use of essence will make the smell emitted by the water mist very heavy, which will cause discomfort symptoms such as dizziness for a long time.

Don't rely too much on the humidifier. Pay attention to the time when using the humidifier. You can't keep it running at high load for a long time. Although the quality of the machine is good, the air humidity is too high, which is not particularly good. According to the dry weather outside, this is the best.
