by inserting the plug of the power cord into the outlet, while the illumination
of the power button flashes on the control panel for 5 minutes.

Press the «ON / OFF» button, the device will automatically start to work,
the button illumination will light and the display of the steam output and the
current humidity value will appear on the display.

At the very beginning of the work, the level of spraying can be unstable,
due to the difference in temperature and water quality. It will take some time
for the water to vaporize on the ultrasonic membrane, and this process
has stabilized. After 10-25 minutes of operation, the spray level gradually
stabilizes.

Steam output intensity adjustment

To change the intensity of the steam output, press the «ON / OFF» button
several times, the intensity of the steam output will vary: low, medium, high,
