AKO Aromatherapy Deffuser

Easy to use for home or office! Fills the air quickly with wonderful aromas; use in one small room or all the way up to 1000 sq. ft.

No muss, no fuss, simply add drops of your favorite essential oil to the water reservoir, and the cool condensation and quiet fan sends the scent into the air. Operates on two settings; continuously or, two minutes on, 28 minutes off. (2 minutes on every half hour.) Water reservoir and stirring coil are dishwasher safe.

This diffuser is perfect for personal use, yet is being operated in numerous institutional settings-nursing homes, hospice, therapeutic recreation and more.

The key is to obtain a sufficient level of fullness of scent without becoming either too strong or too faint. This depends on the size of the room, height of the ceilings, number of open doorways, areas of draft and dryness or moisture in the air COMBINED with the amount of essential oil added to the amount of water.

Start by filling the square (dish) 3/4 full with water. Add 5 drops of essential oil. Turn setting on to "1" for continuous operation. Allow unit to operate continuously for at least 10 to 15 minutes to determine the level of fullness of scent in the area desired. You will most likely need to add more oil, but Less is best with Aromatherapy! Drop amounts have ranged from 5-150.

The initial trial & error period helps you to determine the amount of drops needed to reach a preferred level for your area. Remember you can add more water to dilute the concentration, or more essential oil to increase the concentration. When the level has been generally determined, turn the setting to "2" for 2 minutes on and 28 off. The scent will diffuse for 2 minutes approximately every half hour. Of course you may let it operate continuously if you wish.

Determining comfortable level of scent is an important aspect for mood enhancement whether using the diffuser for family & friends, working area staff or patients/clients.
