I just got mine today but there are no instructions. I can't figure out how to fill it. Can someone help? Thanks in advance

There is a small twist cap on the bottom of the water container. I didn't figure it out at first either... If you miss the opening you may get some water in the decorative case but just turn it over, over the base and the small amount of water will go in there. This one is by far may favorite so far, I have bought 5 of them, two of which I had to send back.

lift it off its base, turn it upside down, you should see like a knob thingy, untwist it , fill it, twist it back on and set on base again.

Take the entire top half off and there is a screw top on the bottom of the unit. You unscrew it and fill with water and add your essential oils if you are using them. Screw the lid back on and place it back on the bottom of the unit. Then put the top with the directional spouts back on and turn on your unit. Works great!

on the bottom of the tank there is a white part that unscrews you fill it from there, it took me a few minutes to figure it out myself!

Take off the little white cap of top, then pull outside cover (the decorated plastic) off, turn it upsidedown, carefully turn the cap off to the left.fill with distilled water and your drops of essential oils if you use, put cap back on And then I put base in place while it is inside down and the quickly and carefuel turn it right side up holding it together:)

If it leaks, you have over filled it. Read the directions. Also, taking the rubber seal out, rinsing it, and fitting it back in will help as well. There is a max fill line. No liquids over the line. Its a great machine. I flipping love mine.

I have the same problem. I just wrote to Homedics to ask them where I can get it. I couldn't find it on their website even though they have a section for parts. In the meantime I've been using it anyway. I don't fill the water tank too much and just quickly put it into place. It seems to work okay this way but you have to be doubly careful to not let it tip over. Hope that helps. Patricia

I followed the instructions that were included, there are several sizes. I filled mine about half full and then repeated , hope this helps.

Mine didn't come with one and this is the first I'm hearing about a filling funnel. I was wondering if there was an easier way to fill the oil canister. Good question I'm definitely going to research this.

I need more info on HOW u were trying to fill it ??? I use a small funnel and pour slowly from plastic bottle if chain oil.WAS OIL LEAKING out as u tried to fill it? U should have it over newspaper when u try to fill, or over a catch pan. On mine I found that the OUTLET hole is too big and even tho I fill mine, it slings out oil off the blade and 15-20 mins into cutting its empty. Sooo I just put in an oz or two to lube the chain and use it for an hr or two, then wiped it down and put it away. I think they thought the chain bar against the oil out hole would regulate outflow, but it really doesn't. GOOD unit but the oil thing is really the only prob I have had... GOOD LUCK!

You have to open the top... I always use a hot pad and a 1qt pitcher to fill mine. This works out well for me... Ps I love my dragon:)

I didn't get a video or manual either. I called the company and they quickly sent me the manual, however the video wasn't available. Plug in fill using water bottle. Make sure you use distilled water. turn on using both buttons and wait till lights turn on for use. makes sure you tighten cap before turning on but not too tight. to fill water open large cap. Green light indicates it is ready to use and yellow light means it needs more water. If it ever turns off on you during use check that hoses are properly connected it happened to me once. during use if you feel there isn't enough pressure just give it a few minutes to build more pressure, you will see the needles move. The small dial to the left of the large cap for filling water is used to regulate how much steam is being used. adjust to your needs.

To fill you rotate to the backside and you will see a hole labeled "gas". Insert butane nozzle and fill.Hope this helps

Agree, filling from the bottom is a pain. I just tried drilling a hole in the top and the water just runs out. Based on other responses it looks like I ruined it.

I over fill it and then carefully press the top down, then cover the hole and flip to dump the excess. I always get a perfect ball. I will try the hot water method and see if it freezes clearer..........

Most likely you are overfilling the water container. Fill it up to 1/2 inch from the top.

It is not very easy to fill, I used a funnel and that helped. I also worried it was not quite heavy enough so i bought a small sand bag and just set it on top of the base and that makes it very stable.

You have to put the little black cap on small hole the take the bignblack top off then fill. I hang mine to keep water cleaner. This water is awesome

Not to sound like captain obvious or anything but perhaps you are putting in to much water? I would play with the levels a bit. I fill it to just below the line and mine come out great every time. It takes some experimenting but is worth it once you get it down. Good luck

I'm trying to figure that out too! A video would be nice. The step-by-step instructions aren't clear.
