Operating Your Inhaler

Follow the cleaning instructions in this guidebook under ‘Cleaning Technique’ prior to using your Steam Inhaler for the first time or after it has been stored for an extended period of time.

REMEMBER: Always unplug the Inhaler and make sure the POWER switch is turned to the ‘OFF’ position before cleaning, assembling and before or after each use.

1. Place the Inhaler on a flat, stable surface within reach, with the mask facing towards you, Fig. 3.

2. Gently pull straight up on the cover of the Inhaler to remove lid.

3. Remove the cap to the water heater tank by turning it counterclockwise, Fig. 4.

4. Using the included measuring cup, fill the water heater tank with approximately 25 mL of tap water, Fig. 5. Do not fill water above the five square-shaped vents on the wall of the tank.
   NOTE: Do not use anything except water in the water heater tank.

5. Reattach the cap and the cover.

6. If desired, remove the aromatherapy/drain tank from the unit. Fill the aromatherapy tank with up to 60 mL of saline or aromatherapy water, Fig. 6.

7. Return the aromatherapy/drain tank to the unit making sure that the suction tube makes contact with the bottom of the tank.

8. Position the extension tube to a comfortable position by manually extending or retracting the tube.

9. Slide the variable steam control down for small-sized particles of steam. Smaller particles are ideal when inhaling steam through the nose. Slide the control up and large-sized particles will result. Larger particles are ideal when inhaling through the mouth.
   NOTE: Extending the tube also lowers the temperature of the steam.

10. Check that the POWER switch is in the `off’ position. Plug the power cord into a main outlet.

11. Turn the POWER switch to the ‘ON’ position.

12. Start your treatment.

13. The Steam Inhaler will begin to output steam in approximately 60 seconds. Once the level of steam becomes weak (approximately 6-9 minute’s ), turn the POWER switch to the ‘OFF’ position and unplug the power cord from the outlet.

IMPORTANT!

The Inhaler will automatically shut off if it becomes overheated. If/when this happens, immediately:

1. Turn the POWER switch to the ‘OFF’ position.
2. Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
3. Allow the unit to cool for approximately 30 minutes.

Before restarting the unit, make sure that the air vents on the extension tube are not obstructed.

After Every Use

1. Unplug the unit from the power source.
2. Allow the unit to completely cool (approximately 10 minutes).
3. Carefully remove the aromatherapy/drain tank and pour out any remaining water.
4. Follow the cleaning procedures provided in this guidebook.

NOTE: Occasionally the nozzle that directs the steam into the extension tube may become obstructed. If the Steam Inhaler begins to produce a significanty smaller amount of steam or no steam at all, the nozzle needs to be cleaned. To clean the nozzle, remove the cover from the Steam Inhaler. Firmly grasp the nozzle and twist clockwise to remove, Fig. 7. Insert a fine gauge needle or the pin which is stored under the bottom of the Steam Inhaler into the nozzle to clear the airway, Fig. 7. To reattach the nozzle, align the nozzle brackets with the grooves on the nozzle base. Turn counterclockwise until the nozzle locks into place.
