Unlocking Your Doctor Aroma Diffuser: A Step-By-Step Guide

To open a Doctor Aromas diffuser, you will first need to remove the top of the diffuser. This may involve lifting, rotating, or popping the top off. Once the top is removed, you can access the internal water tank or reservoir. Fill the diffuser with lukewarm water up to the fill line, then add 3-10 drops of your chosen essential oil. Finally, replace the top of the diffuser and turn it on to enjoy the aromatic benefits.

Remove the top of the diffuser

To remove the top of the Doctor Aromas diffuser, you will need to unlock the cover. To do this, insert the unlocking key into the top socket. This will open the cover, allowing you to access the inside of the diffuser.

Once the cover is open, you can lift the top of the diffuser straight up and off. If your diffuser has been in use, be sure to turn it off and unplug it before attempting to remove the top. It is important to ensure the diffuser is switched off and unplugged for safety reasons and to avoid any potential spills.

After removing the top, you will be able to access the interior of the diffuser, including the battery compartment and any other components that may require maintenance or cleaning. Remember to follow the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines when handling and cleaning your diffuser to ensure safe and proper use.

When you need to close the diffuser again, simply align the top cover with the base and gently press down until you hear a soft click, indicating that the cover is securely locked in place.

Fill with lukewarm water

Filling your Doctor Aroma diffuser with lukewarm water is a simple process. First, remove the top of the diffuser by lifting it or twisting it open. Then, using a small measuring cup or glass, fill the diffuser with lukewarm water to just below the maximum fill line.

The ideal water temperature for your diffuser is room temperature, or around 69 °F (21 °C). You can test the water with your finger—it should feel slightly cool, but not cold. Once you've added the water, simply replace the top of the diffuser and turn it on to start enjoying the aromatic benefits.

It's important to note that the water temperature plays a crucial role in the diffuser's functionality. Using water that is too cold can cause the diffuser to malfunction, as it may need to warm up before operating properly.

Add 3-10 drops of essential oil

Adding essential oil to your Doctor Aromas diffuser is a simple process. Once you have chosen your favourite scent, you can add 3-10 drops of essential oil to the diffuser. The number of drops you add depends on the size of your diffuser and the type of oil you use.

If you are using a Doctor Aromas aromatherapy stone diffuser, the recommended amount of essential oil is 3-5 drops. This is because stone diffusers only use one drop of fragrance oil at a time, making them highly efficient.

However, the number of drops you add may vary depending on the size of your diffuser. For example, if your diffuser has a capacity of 200 ml, you will need 6-10 drops, whereas a 500 ml diffuser will require 15-20 drops.

It is important to note that some essential oils are stronger than others, so you may need to use less to achieve the same strength of scent. Additionally, if you are using a blend of multiple oils, 2-3 drops per oil will create a nice blend.

When adding essential oil to your diffuser, always refer to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure you are using the correct amount.

Replace the top and turn on

Once you have added your chosen essential oil to the diffuser, it's time to replace the top and turn on the diffuser. This step will vary depending on the type of diffuser you have, but here are some general instructions to follow:

• Place the lid or casing back over the reservoir, ensuring it is secure and sitting properly.
• If your diffuser has multiple settings or lights, you can adjust them according to your preferences. Check your manufacturer's instructions if you are unsure how to operate these settings.
• Plug in the diffuser and use the button or switch to turn it on.
• Enjoy the aromatic benefits of your chosen essential oils!

It is important to always follow the manufacturer's instructions when using your diffuser. Different diffusers may have specific instructions for replacing the top and turning on the device. Some diffusers may have a simple on/off button, while others may have different settings to control the intensity or duration of diffusion. Always refer to the user guide or manual that came with your diffuser for specific instructions.

Clean after use

To clean your Doctor Aromas diffuser, you should perform routine cleaning after each use, as well as a deep clean at least once a month.

Routine Cleaning

Always unplug the diffuser before cleaning for safety reasons. Empty the diffuser after each use, as water left standing can develop mould and mildew spores. Next, wipe out the diffuser's interior with a paper towel dampened with white vinegar. This will prevent any leftover oil from mixing with the next oil you use, and will also help to prevent corrosion. You can substitute the vinegar with water and a small amount of all-natural dish soap if you prefer.

To clean the ultrasonic plate or chip, dip a cotton swab into rubbing alcohol and rub it over the plate or chip to remove any excess oil build-up. Finally, dry and reassemble the diffuser before refilling it.

Deep Cleaning

Unplug the appliance and empty any standing water and essential oils. Never submerge any part of the diffuser in water or get moisture into any control buttons. Fill the diffuser halfway with plain water and add a teaspoon of white vinegar. Do not use any other type of vinegar or cleaner. Plug the diffuser back in and run it for 5-15 minutes so the vinegar can disperse through all components. Then, unplug the diffuser and empty the reservoir. Clean any loose components, such as the mist vent, separately with warm water and dish soap, and dry them completely.

To clean the reservoir, wipe down the surfaces with a cloth dampened with a 1:1 solution of water and white vinegar. Then, use a cotton swab dampened with white vinegar to clean the delicate misting chips and tackle any build-up along the walls of the reservoir. Allow the entire system to air dry before use, which will help any lingering vinegar scent to dissipate.
