Hi there, Buttah! Thank you for choosing Holmes&reg;️. We hope you are doing well and safe. We are more than happy to assist you. The Red Indicator Light will flash 10 times once the tank is empty. This indicates that the humidifier is in low water level condition. Unplug the unit when this happens. Before refilling the tank, empty any residual water from the base and tank. Follow daily maintenance instructions. Follow the Filling Water Tank instructions from the manual to fill the tank, and operate the humidifier normally. We hope this information helps. Thank you and have a good one!

<div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="7858960">
Hi there Bonnmos! Thank you for choosing Holmes&reg;. We hope you are healthy and staying safe. No medication should ever be added directly into the water. We recommend that no scents or oils be added to the humidifier as we do not or understand the effects they may have on the humidification process. We have created and tested some scent tablets for the water that are available for purchase. We hope this information helps. Thank you and have a wonderful day!

The cleaning instructions indicate to fill the humidifier tank 1/2 full with water and 1/2 tablespoon of bleach. Does this also clean the humidifier housing? Should I be emptying the humidifier housing each day?

Hi there, eks1234! Thank you for choosing Holmes&reg;️. We hope you are doing well and safe. We are more than happy to assist you regarding the cleaning maintenance of your humidifier. Disinfecting only cleans the tank of the humidifier. For daily maintenance, yes, the tank and the base's remaining water should be drained and be sure to rinse thoroughly to remove any sediment or dirt. Wipe clean and dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. We hope this information helps. Thank you and have a good one!

Hi CCPinoy! Thank you for reaching out to Holmes&reg;️ and for letting us know about your concern. We are more than happy to help. The sticky black line on your aromatherapy tray is normal. As the water passes the aromatherapy from the water base, the water builds up into it. We advise that you follow the weekly maintenance of this unit and also by properly disinfecting the unit. We hope this helps. Have a good one!
