Humidifier has a strong plastic or chemical smell when new

Safety: Operate in a well-ventilated area initially.

Steps:

• Initial run: Run the humidifier on high in a well-ventilated room for several hours to off-gas new plastic odors.
• Clean tank and base: Wash the tank and base reservoir with mild dish soap and rinse thoroughly before first use.
• Avoid additives: Do not add oils or fragrances unless the unit is specifically designed for them, as they can worsen odors.
