THE ESSENTIAL OIL DIFFUSER The Essential Oil Diffuser disperses essential oils without heating them so they retain their therapeutic benefits. With Young Living's® innovative air pump, oils are dispersed in a micro-fine vapor, allowing them to remain suspended in the air for extended periods of time. How to use: Using the Diffuser: The Young Living Diffuser consists of an air pump, an oil well base, and a glass nebulizer connected by a flexible air tube. Attached to the air tube is a flow control valve. You can set the pump on the floor or under a table so that it is out of sight. For your convenience, you can attach the pump to an appliance timer so it will turn on and off automatically. Assembly: Carefully remove the parts from the packaging. Connect one end of the clear plastic tube to the air pump outlet and the other end to the air inlet of the well. Place the glass nebulizer over the jet. Operating Instructions: Pour 15 to 20 drops of oil directly into the well approximately one-quarter inch deep. You only need enough oil for the mist to start coming through the top of the nebulizer. You may wish to place the bottle of essential oil upside down in the well located next to the nebulizer. Be sure that the plastic orifice (drop reducer) is still in the bottle opening. Turn the knob on the flow control valve. How much oil will be used?: Thicker oils will diffuse more slowly than thinner ones. Typically you place 15-20 drops into the well base, depending upon the oil/s selected this should diffuse for 15 to 45 minutes. You have the option of only diffusing 15 to 20 minutes in the morning, late afternoon and evening to maintain 24 hour coverage because the oils continue to work long after the diffuser is turned off. However, some individuals like the continuous aromas and leave their diffusers on throughout much of the day. Notes: 1.) Never add water to oils or thin them with another substance. This could clog the jet and possibly alter the oil's effects. 2.) If you are diffusing Thieves Essential Oil blend to combat a mold problem you can leave the bottled oil upside down on the well for continuous activity and saturation. Changing Oils: You can change from a single oil to a
blend or from a blend to a single. Simply allow the first oil to be completely
diffused. If there is too much oil left to diffuse, use the enclosed eyedropper
to return it to its bottle. Mixing Oils: Avoid mixing two or more blends, as this may change the desired results. A single oil may be added to a blend, or several single oils may be mixed together and diffused. Avoid using vegetable oils such a V-6 Mixing Oil, massage oils, or other vegetable-based oils in your diffuser. Oils of this thickness may clog the diffuser. Cleaning the Diffuser: Disconnect the plastic tubing from the air outlet on the well. Remove the glass nebulizer and clean it with soapy water or rubbing alcohol. Seal both ends of the nebulizer and shake. Rinse with water or alcohol. Let dry completely. Use a blow dryer on low heat for quicker drying. Thoroughly clean the inside of the well with rubbing alcohol or soapy water. Note: 1) HeavenScent
Marie retains an empty 5ml essential oil bottle and when her diffuser is not
being used she places upside down to cover the well from household dust. How long should a diffuser be used?: In the home, a diffuser may be used for any length of time-anywhere from 5 minutes to continuous use. Short periods of 5 to 15 minutes are recommended for anyone who is experiencing oils for the first time. In large offices or commercial areas, the diffuser should be used for 15 to 30 minutes at a time until everyone in the area becomes acquainted with the oils. After that point, it may run continuously. Cautions: The glass nebulizer should always be placed over the jet before starting the diffuser. Low grade oils or "perfume essences" may clog the air jet. The diffuser should be placed on a steady surface that is protected in case spills occur. Note: 1) HeavenScent Marie has tested other diffusers and Young Living’s is the very best for therapeutic-grade essential oil dispersement into the air. Many commercial diffusers gobble up the same 10 to 20 drops in less that a minute! In addition, Young Living’s diffuser is made to give you range - - - this diffuser covers 800 to 2000 square feet. The reason why the area coverage is so vastly different is because not all air is equal. In a dryer, less humid, climate the oils travel further. If you are one of the lucky ones (like me) to own one of ThePowerHour’s SUN-AIRE room purifiers - - - which works in total harmony with the essential oil diffuser - - - - you will get the full range of square footage coverage when they are both run simultaneously! Troubleshooting: When a diffuser is functioning properly, you can see oil being projected through the glass nebulizer as it turns into a mist. If this is not happening, check the following: No air output. Be sure the pump is plugged into an active electrical socket and the tubing is properly attached. Check to make sure that the knob on the control valve is turned. Make sure there is oil in the well or in the bottle. Ingredients: The Complete Diffuser includes: The Colored Well (with jet), a Pump, a Glass Nebulizer, an Oil Dropper, and Tubing. NOTE: On the newest models the well and jet is one unit. Removing the jet will render the diffuser inoperable. If you should accidentally break your glass nebulizer, replacement parts are available through Young Living.
