1) Make sure that the unit has cooled
(approx. 10 minutes), the POWER
switch has been turned to the 'OFF'
position and the unit has been
disconnected from the power source.
2) Remove the cover
from the body of the
Steam Inhaler.
Remove the cap to the
water heater tank,
Fig. 1.
3) Carefully remove the
Fig. 1
one-piece
aromatherapy/drain

Fig. 2
water from the water
heater tank.
6) Dry with clean towels or allow to
completely air dry.
7) Reassemble the Steam Inhaler and store
in a cool, dry place.
Cleaning Technique
(Performed once a week or before first time
use):
1) Follow steps 1-5 under 'Rinsing
Technique.'
2) Wash aromatherapy/drain tank, cover,
water heater tank cover, extension tube
and mask in warm water and a mild
detergent. Thoroughly rinse and allow to
completely dry.
Cleaning the Steam Inhaler
NEVER submerge the main unit in water.
Wipe the Steam Inhaler using a soft, slightly
water-moistened cloth.
NOTE: Any other form of cleaning or
cleaning agents may damage the unit and
void your warranty.

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
Fig. 3
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
Fig. 4
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
Fig. 5
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 minutues), 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.
