OWNER'S MANUAL
IMPORTANT! For the most effective and safe use of your vaporizer, please READ
AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS ... especially those regarding the addition of salt
to the water. In "soft water" areas, salt must be added to water to generate steam.
In "hard water" areas, the vaporizer may operate without the addition of salt.
WARNING: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
We recognize that many of our customers use vaporizers in homes with young
children. Carefully supervise your children when using a vaporizer, especially
crawling infants and toddlers. Please be sure to take the time to instruct them
that a vaporizer is not a toy....it is a serious medical device that produces hot
steam and could cause severe burns and injuries if they do not stay away from it.
Vaporizer should always be placed on a firm, flat, waterproof surface at least four feet
away from bedside and out of reach of patient and children. Be sure the vaporizer is
in a stable position and power cord is out of the way to prevent vaporizer from being
upset or tipped over. Protect floor, rug or furniture by placing the vaporizer on a
non-metallic, waterproof, heat-resistant surface.
ADDING SALT FOR STEAM FLOW: Steam output depends directly
on the mineral content of the water and the amount of salt you
add. For the vaporizer to operate in areas of low or moderate
mineral-content water, 4 TO 5 PINCHES OF SALT (1/8 teaspoon)
MUST BE ADDED TO THE WATER AND MIXED THOROUGHLY.
If an adequate steam flow is not obtained after ten minutes, add
another PINCH or two as needed, mix thoroughly. CAUTION:
Add salt only by the PINCH, since too much salt can cause
excessive boiling, a blown fuse or
tripped circuit breaker.
If you live in a "hard-water" area, the
vaporizer may operate well without
salt additive. The salt and other miner-
als in your water remain inside the
vaporizer and do not affect the purity
of the steam.
USE FINGER GRIPS when handling
steam unit, grasping from the rear of
outer cap. See Figure C on next page.
Do not move vaporizer while in use.
