SECtioN 5:
Product Maintenance & Care
r
egular care and maintenance will extend the life and proper function of your diffuser and allow you to use a wider range of
aroma blends and essential oils. essential oils may contain small amounts of natural plant waxes or resins. These may build up over
time, unless removed by occasional cleaning. some essential oils i.e. clove oil or cinnamon bark oil, may cause discoloration of the
diffuser (however this will not affect the functionality of the diffuser). some essential oils such as Citronella or Citrus are corrosive
and can cause damage to plastic parts over time, this necessitates frequent cleaning for proper care.
We recommend a quick dry/damped cleaning after each use and a more thorough cleaning once a week, or more often depend-
ing on the intensity of use or type of essential oils used. This regular maintenance will help to preserve the operation of your
diffuser. Your diffuser should always be kept clean and dry when not in use.
Before any cleaning operation:
1. Turn off the diffuser and unplug it.
2. Pour away excess water.
3. Clean the diffuser.
4.
Wipe
Dry.
Note: do not use detergents, acidic or alkaline chemicals, cleaning abrasive agents or corrosive solvents to clean the diffuser.
Never immerse the diffuser in water or let water enter into the air outlets or any other openings. refer to the safety Precautions
section for additional tips.
Diffuser Cleaning Methods:
Cleaning requires wiping down the outer cover, tank lid, inner vault, ceramic disc, sides and the back of diffuser.
• Damped Soft Cloth/Brush Wipe (for regular cleaning)
gently clean and rub down with a damped cleaning sponge, soft cloth, soft brush or cotton swab.
Pay special attention to carefully clean the ultrasonic plate/vibrating disc (on the bottom middle) to
remove any sticky residue and prevent clogs regularly for best performance. Next buff all parts dry to
remove any excess humidity.
• Alcohol/ Vinegar Wipe (to remove essential oil residue)
gently wipe the diffuser using a cleaning sponge, soft cloth, soft brush or cotton swab dipped in
rubbing alcohol or distilled vinegar. Next carefully rinse the diffuser with pure water and then wipe dry.
• Vinegar-Water / Mild Dish Soap-Water Mix (for corrosive oil or occasional cleaning) Use equal parts mild dish
detergent and water, or distilled vinegar and water, to remove mineral deposits or essential oil residue. Let the
mixture sit inside the base for 15-20 minutes to help break up the oils or minerals that may have accumulated
inside the diffuser. Alternatively fill the diffuser with water till the max line and add a few drops of mild dish
detergent or distilled vinegar. run the diffuser for a few minutes, empty the tank and rinse with pure water. if
there’s still any residue left, rub down with a cleaning sponge, soft cloth, soft brush or cotton swab, then rinse
again, when done wipe dry.
