condition fused for at least 15 Amps.
Do not

This product has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other)
as a safety feature. This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does

ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT THIS
SAFETY FEATURE.
Vaporizer will produce a gentle flow of steam within a few minutes.
If steaming does not start within ten minutes, you may need to add salt.
Please see step 7 and the
Troubleshooting
checklist.
Vaporizer will automatically stop producing steam when water has
reached minimum level
(about 3/4 inch from bottom of container).
The night-light will remain on
, indicating that the vaporizer is plugged in.
ALWAYS
unplug steam unit and allow to cool for 20-30 minutes before
removing from the water container.
Under conditions of rapid boiling and near the end
of each operation, steam may emerge from SAFETY
VENTS
(above and on both sides of the steam vent).
This condition is normal, preventing over boiling by
relieving steam pressure
.
Do not
lift or move the vaporizer while it is in 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.
