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:
Do not
direct steam flow directly at people, walls or
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.
