Learn how to set up and use the Refresh 8 aromatherapy air circulator day to day, from aiming airflow to essential oil use and simple maintenance.
Quick answer
To get the most from the Refresh 8, place it on a stable surface, aim the head where you want airflow, add your essential oil according to the product instructions, and choose one of the three airflow settings. Clean the unit regularly and store it safely when not in use.
Why placement and aiming matter more than speed
The Refresh 8 swivels 360° and tilts 45°, so you can direct air almost anywhere in the room. Start with the head angled toward the area you want to cool or scent, then adjust the base to fine-tune the direction. A higher speed is not always better; a well-aimed lower setting often feels more comfortable and uses less energy.
Essential oil use: start small and ventilate
The Refresh 8 is designed for aromatherapy, but essential oils are potent. Begin with a small amount and increase only if the scent is too faint. Keep the room ventilated, and avoid using oils around pets or people with respiratory sensitivities without consulting a doctor. Never mix oils or add other substances unless the manual explicitly allows it.
Step-by-step: daily use and care for the Refresh 8
- Place on a stable, level surface: Set the Refresh 8 on a sturdy table or floor where it won't tip. Keep it away from edges and loose fabrics that could block airflow. Check that the power cord is not a tripping hazard.
- Aim the airflow: Swivel the base 360° and tilt the head up to 45° to point air toward your seating area or across the room. Avoid aiming directly at your face for long periods. Adjust the angle before turning it on to feel the difference immediately.
- Add essential oil (if using): Follow the instructions for your model to add a few drops of essential oil. Do not overfill or mix oils unless directed. Start with less and add more only if needed. Keep oils out of reach of children and pets.
- Select an airflow setting: Choose from the 3 airflow settings. Use a lower setting for continuous background scent and a higher setting for quick cooling or stronger diffusion. If the scent is too strong, lower the setting or reduce the oil amount next time.
- Clean the unit regularly: Unplug before cleaning. Wipe exterior surfaces with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not immerse in water. Remove and clean the aromatherapy pad or reservoir according to the manual to prevent oil buildup. Clean the aromatherapy components weekly if you use oils daily.
- Store safely when not in use: Unplug, clean, and store the Refresh 8 in a dry place. Coil the cord loosely and avoid wrapping it tightly around the unit. Store essential oils separately and securely.
