Frequently Asked Questions - Ovi DUUX

How to fill the water tank of the Duux Ovi humidifier?

Remove the top cover and pour water slowly through the filling opening, preferably using a jug or watering can to avoid splashes. Stop when the red indicator blocks the water inlet. Never fill above the maximum level.

Why is the operation indicator flashing red?

The flashing red indicator means the water level is too low. Add water from the top of the device to continue using it.

Can I use essential oils with this humidifier?

Yes, the Duux Ovi humidifier has an aromatherapy function. Pour a few drops of essential oil into the small plate provided on the top of the device. Never put oil directly into the water.

Why does the humidifier not produce visible mist?

This device uses a natural evaporation system. Moisture is diffused as invisible vapor, not as visible mist. This is normal.

How often should I clean the humidifier?

It is recommended to clean daily the water tank and fill it with fresh water. Weekly cleaning of the filter and the outside of the device is necessary to prevent limescale and bacteria.

How to clean the anti-scale filter?

Remove the filter, immerse it in hot water at a maximum of 40 °C, then let it air dry in the shade. Do not use harsh detergents.

What is the lifespan of the filter?

The filter should generally be replaced every 3 to 6 months, depending on tap water hardness. Beyond that, it loses its effectiveness.

Why does the humidifier make noise?

The noise comes from the fan which runs continuously to evaporate water. This noise is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

What to do if the humidifier does not turn on?

Check that the plug is properly inserted and that there is power. Make sure the water tank is correctly installed in the device.

How should I position the humidifier for optimal operation?

Place the device on a horizontal and stable surface, at least 10 cm from walls and 50 cm from furniture or curtains to avoid moisture damage. Avoid direct sunlight exposure.
