- The Power Indicator Light will illuminate in green indicating that there is enough water in the Humidifier Base and mist will begin emitting through the Mist Lid.

absorbed by the room air.

This is a safety feature to prevent the humidifier from possibly overheating and damaging the Nebulizer. Turn the humidifier off and unplug the unit before removing and refilling the water tank.
