VAPOPADS:
Your Vicks Vaporizer includes a Scent Pad heater so that you can enjoy
Vicks Soothing Menthol vapors to increase your comfort. Vicks Scent
Pads work with heat to gradually release soothing aromatic vapors. One
complimentary menthol vapor Scent Pad is included with your unit.
1) Open scent pad pouch at notch to expose pad. Do not touch exposed pad
directly. If you do touch a pad, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly.
2) Insert the scent pads into the slots located on the top of the steam unit
behind the steam outlet.
3) Vapor intensity can be controlled by using 1 or 2 pads. Insert 1 pad into
one slot for moderate scent release and insert another pad into the
second slot for maximum scent release.
4) Before changing or removing the pads unplug the steam unit from the
outlet and allow to cool for 20-30 mintues. Pads should be replaced after
8 hours of use.

IF YOUR VAPORIZER FAILS TO STEAM AFTER 10-15
MINUTES YOU MAY HAVE LOW MINERAL CONTENT
IN YOUR WATER. For areas where tap water has
low to moderate mineral content ADD SALT. For tap
water of low to moderate mineral content, ADD 1 TO
2 PINCHES (1/8 teaspoon) of ordinary table salt to the
water and mix thoroughly. After 10 minutes if your
vaporizer still does not produce steam add another
pinch or 2 of salt. Salt has no effect on the purity of
the steam or medication.
CAUTION: TOO MUCH SALT CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE BOILING OR
BLOWN FUSE.
NOTE: Please do not add salt to your vaporizer each time you operate the
product. Salt will build up over time and you may not need to repeat
the process. Before adding salt operate your vaporizer following
steps 1-4. If vaporizer does not produce steam after 15 minutes
gradually add salt following the above directions.

USE FRESH WATER AND MEDICATION each time vaporizer is used.

Discoloration/Black Particles
After use, the water residue in the bottom of the container may contain black
particles, and in some areas the water in the bottom of the container may
discolor. These conditions are normal and do not affect the purity of the steam
or medication. The container is easily cleaned with soap and water. Thoroughly
rinse and dry the container after cleaning.
