Using Your Vicks Warm Steam Vaporizer
Instructions
NOTE: Mineral content in water can vary greatly by region and could affect the
performance of your unit. Steps to ensure your vaporizer functions properly are
explained in step # 7 and in the Troubleshooting section.
1.
EXTEND POWER CORD FULLY BEFORE USE. Failure to do so could cause
overheating and possible fire hazard. Always unplug the cord from electrical
outlet before removing steam unit or when not in use. Allow the vaporizer to
cool for at least 20-30 minutes before handling.
2.
FILL WATER CONTAINER. Use finger grips located on
the sides of the steam unit when handling this part.
Steam unit will come in locked position. Remove steam
unit from container by turning the steam unit to the
unlock symbol. Lift the steam unit from the vaporizer
bowl and set the steam unit aside. Fill the container
with tap water to WATER LEVEL MARKING on bowl.
DO NOT OVERFILL. Use fresh water each time vaporizer
is used.
3.
LOCKING STEAM UNIT. Hold down the steam unit for ten
seconds to allow water to enter the housing and seat
properly in water container. Be sure to lock steam unit
into place on the container by aligning the arrow on the
steam unit with the lock symbol on the container. If the
steam unit floats, container is overfilled.
4.
PLACE VAPORIZER IN A SAFE POSITION. Vaporizer
should always be placed on a firm, flat surface at least four feet away from
bedside and out of the reach of patient and children. Be sure the vaporizer
is in a stable position and the power cord is out of the way to prevent the
vaporizer from being tipped over. Protect floor, rug or furniture by placing
the vaporizer on a non-metallic, waterproof, heat-resistant surface.
CAUTION:
furniture. You will still obtain desired level of humidity.
WARNING: KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN,
ESPECIALLY CRAWLING INFANTS AND TODDLERS.
STEAM CAN CAUSE BURNS.
