Do you add the oils to the side slot or to the water? Written directions and on-line directions are opposite.

I've actually done both, but more often just added it directly to the water to lessen the chance of spillage/waste. It doesn't seem to have aversely affected my diffuser so far; I've had mine since February.

It goes in the tank and mixed with the water (make sure to put the water in first), the side slot can also be used but it will not as effective.

I just added directly to the water. I loved mine, until it died about 3 months after getting it. Don't know what happened. Total bummer!

The oil is added to the water and it somewhat combines with the water which is warmed and diffused into the air. There is still residual oil left in the unit which should be cleaned out periodically.

There is a tray on the bottom that slides out. Put a few drops of your favorite oil in there.

The directions didn't say not to, so I am choosing to use any oil I would like. I am just making sure to clean it often as the directions state. (Every 10 hours of use)

Add a few drops of oil to two or three tablespoons of water. Strength of oil to your liking. I am more sensitive to strength soI use less oil. Enjoy!

There is no place to add oil, and the manual specifically states to only use water in the tank. Given that this is a cool mist humidifier and has no warming ability, it's probably not suitable for oils.

Fill the container and screw the top back on flip it once quickly to right it - some small amount of water will come out and I haven't found a way not to lose a bit of water when turning it, but it is only a little bit.

This is indicated on the product description: Add essential oils (directly into the water tank - not side slot) for aromatherapy benefit and relax by Aroma of your choice.

The little area for the oils is near the top of the bottom part then the outside cover goes down over it. I want to say that this one says use distilled water and putting oil in water can clog it up over time. I purchased another brand that regular water and oil can go in same place. It was a little more expensive but worth the ability to use tap water and oil. Sparks e-oils and Now have diffusers. Look up there's then check out amazon and other sites like it for a better price.

The water & the oil go into the same well. Fill with water & add your drops of your essential oil.

I have been using mine with the oil in the water as well since I got mine in August. Sometimes it seems like there is buildup on the little disc at the bottom of the water reservoir so when the water is gone I wipe that out.

You probably have checked this but just in case, there's a red switch in the back, make sure your water tank is placed correctly and the inlet/outlet piece's spring is moving freely. If you've checked those things already I would probably go for the diffuser assembly to make sure it's correctly attached. Hope I could help!

The bottom of the slot should be closed. As the water passes it pulls text oil molecules from the slot. I have noticed it aids in keeping the tank cleaner & no oil residue there.

I did. I put in what I could fit and then the rest when the oil was low enough. I know for sure it can't hurt and it's not that expensive. I bought extra bottles in case I need them but so far I haven't. Hope this helps you. Ami.

From the owner manual: "You should only add water treatments that are specifically made...Using water treatments that are not recommended could damage the humidifier". Personally, I suspect oil would gunk up the works.

Try mixing the 'mix' with the vinegar and water first. Let it sit to allow the vinegar and water to 'hydrate' the mix. THEN add the oil. Seems to really help.

That is the most ideal way. Water entering on the bottom and exiting on top. However, I know may installers that have use it horizontally with good results. The biggest factor would be actual flow rates being treated.
