On the front of the Levoit LV600S, you will find a nicely placed Control Panel with a Display and Icons to tap on and help you effortlessly navigate its settings and control the device. From left to right you have an ON/OFF Icon, Mist, Humidity, Timer, Warm, and Sleep Icon. On the right-hand side, you have an aroma box that you can easily take out, and add 8-10 drops of essential oil onto. With this, the LV600S will begin to diffuse the aroma when it begins operation. Do note that you cannot directly add essential oils inside the tank.

This Levoit Smart Hybrid Ultrasonic Warm/Cool Mist 1.5G Humidifier has its steam nozzle at the top of the tank. The nozzle has two openings that you can adjust 360° respectively and is capable of covering up to 753 ft².

Then, you will also observe a water filter which helps to prevent impurities from getting into the device. You can take out this water filter to clean it by turning it anti-clockwise.

Moving further, you can take out the tank completely by lifting it by the handle on top. You will then find components that make the Levoit LV600S function.

How to use the Levoit Humidifier

Firstly, it is very important for you to use distilled water in the Levoit LV600S Smart Hybrid Ultrasonic Humidifier. This is also applicable to any humidifier you own. This ensures that minerals do not build up and clog the humidifier’s components which would result in wear and tear. Also, using distilled water eliminates frequent cleaning of the humidifier. Then also, distilled water delivers a purer and cleaner mist from your humidifier and is helpful for persons with allergies.

In addition to these, it is worth mentioning that the Levoit LV600S or Levoit Smart Hybrid Ultrasonic Warm/Cool Mist 1.5G Humidifier and the Levoit LV600HH are designed with an Input Power Rating of 110/120 Volts. This will not be applicable in some countries that use 220/240 Volts. But these humidifiers can still be used by using a stepdown converter or transformer. With these said, find a suitable location for the Levoit LV600S (not floors, carpets, or rugs) then, fill its tank with distilled water, place it back on the base of the humidifier, and power up the device.

The display will come ON and show you the current humidity of the room where the LV600S is placed. If you leave the device like this, it will keep increasing the humidity of the room. However, you can set your desired humidity for the room by tapping on the Humidity Icon or Button, then keep tapping (tapping increases the value by 5%) till it gets to the value you want, then stop tapping for the device to accept that value. The Levoit LV600S will then run till it gets to the value you’ve set, and it will go OFF. To negate this, just tap on the humidity button for 3 seconds.

The Mist level button is used to adjust the flow of Mist from Low, Medium, and High. Simply tap on the Mist button to navigate through these three modes. Then, you have the Timer button which allows you to set an amount of time that the humidifier should run, and in the end, it will go OFF. Next, you have the Warm button. This allows you to get warm mist out of the humidifier by tapping on this button, and you get Low, Medium, and High. The last button is the Sleep button which allows you to turn OFF the display on the Levoit Smart Hybrid Ultrasonic Warm/Cool Mist 1.5G Humidifier. This is helpful when you do not want any lights showing on the humidifier while you sleep.

Another remarkable feature of the Levoit LV600S Smart Hybrid Ultrasonic Humidifier is its support for Smart Controls (Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa) and the VeSync app (Android, iOS). Simply download the VeSync app, pair it with the humidifier, and you can then use your phone as a remote control for the Levoit LV600S. From the app, you can change mist levels, set humidity levels between 40% and 80%, toggle between warm and cold, sleep mode, timer, et cetera.
