How to Regulate Steam Flow and Temperature
The Steam Inhaler features a patented adjustable Vent Assembly which allows you
to use either of the Flow Levers to control the amount of steam you inhale as well as
regulate temperature.
FOR MORE STEAM:
1. Move either Vent Lever clockwise toward the “HI” setting. More steam will
increase the temperature; this setting will thus feel hotter.
FOR LESS STEAM:
1. Move either Vent Lever counterclockwise for lower steam flow and temperature.
2. If the steam is still uncomfortably warm, lift your face one or two inches above
the Inhaler Hood and continue to inhale.
How to Use Scent Pads
The Steam Inhaler features a scent pad slot which
allows for the use of Vicks VapoPads.
1. Use Vicks VapoPads, VSP-19 series or VBR-5 series
with your steam inhaler to provide up to 8 hours of soothing vapors.
2. Open VapoPad by tearing notch on pad bag. Do not touch pad with hands.
If pad is touched do not rub face or eyes as it may cause irritation.
3. Insert VapoPad with angled end facing downwards toward the steam inhaler vent.
4. After 8 hours discard scent pad. To continue using scent pads, repeat steps 1-3.
4. Using tap water, fill the Water Reservoir to just below the cup rim. Do not overfill.
Use with water only. Do not add any medication or inhalant liquids, such as
Vicks
®
VapoSteam or Kaz Inhalant, to the Water Reservoir. An unsafe condition
may result if anything is added to the water.
5. Replace the Vent Assembly. Align the Index Line with the raised Arrow on the
Base. Be sure the Tabs align with the slots on the top of the Base, then turn the
Vent Assembly clockwise until it locks into place.
6. Replace Inhaler Hood.
7. Connect cord to electrical outlet. Do not use with extension cord. Press the On/
Off Switch to the ON position. The Indicator Light will illuminate.
8. The Steam Inhaler will take approximately 3-5 minutes to begin making steam.
Use caution, the water reservoir and water will become extremely hot.
9. Move the Flow Levers counterclockwise for minimum steam flow. Place your face
in the hood as pictured on the cover page. Do not rest your face on the Inhaler
Hood because the soft plastic may bend, allowing steam to escape or causing
the Inhaler to tip over and spill boiling water. Breathe normally through your
nose and mouth, inhaling steam into your nasal and throat passages. Continue
treatment for five to fifteen minutes (see next section for How to Regulate Steam
Flow and Temperature).
Never move or lift the Inhaler while it is in use. Steam is produced by
boiling water; tilting can cause water spill and possible burns.
10. When vapor therapy treatment is completed, move On/Off switch to the OFF
position. The lamp will go out. Disconnect plug from electrical outlet. Allow
the Steam Inhaler to cool before moving or refilling it (see Care and Cleaning
section). Do not operate Steam Inhaler when empty.
1. Fully unravel cord. Failure to do so could cause overheating and possible fire
hazard. Do not use with extension cords. Place Inhaler on a flat, stable surface
for use.
2. Remove Inhaler Hood.
3. Turn the Vent Assembly counterclockwise until the Index Line is aligned with
the Arrow on the top of the Base (just above the Switch). Note how the Tabs
align with the slots in the Base. Lift the Vent Assembly straight up to remove it.
