B.
Parts may be boiled between 15 to 20 minutes.
After boiling, carefully remove the parts, shake
off excess water and allow to air dry in a clean
environment.
Note
: Do not boil Air tube, Mask (PVC), Air filter and Air filter
cover.
Caution: Handling the Vaporizer Head
• Always wash the vaporizer head after each use.
• Do not use a brush or pin to clean the vaporizer head.

Remove the inhalation top together with
the accessory adapter and vaporizer
head from the medication tank.
4.
Add the correct amount of prescribed
medication to the medication tank.
Reattach the vaporizer head to the
medication tank.
5.
Put the inhalation top and accessory
adapter back inside the medication tank.
6.
