5. Operating the steam vaporiser
Note
Follow the instructions in the Chapter “Cleaning and
disinfection” before using the device for the first time or
if it has not been used for an extended period.
1. R emove the device from the packaging. Ensure
that there is amains socket close to the set-up
area.
2.
Place the device on a firm,
even surface and pull the
cover up and off by pressing
the button above the aroma
container/return container.
3. Remove the sticker with
the warning notice from the
cover.
Twist the lid anti-clockwise.
Observe the marking on the
lid when you do this. Re-
move the lid.
4. F ill the water heater tank wi-
th approx. 25 ml of water (do
not fill the water heater tank
above the “MAX” marking).
Always use water to fill the
water heater tank and never
use any other liquids.
5. R efitthelidandcloseittightly byturningitclockwise.
Observe the marking on the lid when you do this.
6. R eplace the cover from above.

6
7. Pull out the aroma container/
return container. Fill the aro-
ma container with the liquid
that you want to atomise
(e.g. salt-water solution).
Never fill the aroma contain-
er above the “MAX” marking
(60ml).
8. Re-insert the aroma con-
tainer/return container into
the device. Make sure that
the suction tube touches
the bottom of the aroma
container.
9. Push the variable steam
regulator down to produce
smaller steam particles, and
push it up for larger ones.
10. M ake sure that the ON/OFF switch is in the
“OFF” position. Arrange the mains cable in
such away that no-one will trip over it. Insert
the mains plug into asuitable socket. The device
must only be connected to the mains voltage that
is specified on the type plate.
11.
M ove the ON/OFF switch to the “ON” position.
12. After approx. 2 minutes, the device will start to
produce steam. During use, sit in an upright and
relaxed position at atable and not in an arm-
chair, so as to avoid compressing the airways
and therefore impairing effectiveness. Since each
person‘s temperature sensitivity is different, we
recommend starting use with sufficient distance.
Do not hold your face directly against the mask.
Gradually reduce the distance. Breathe in deeply.
Ensure that steam does not escape from the
mask and into the eyes. As aresult, it is re-
commended that you close your eyes during
treatment. As soon as the production of steam
starts to diminish (maximum duration approx.
10minutes), turn the ON/OFF switch to the
“OFF” position.
13.
A fter each use, pull the mains plug out of the so-
cket. Allow the device to cool down completely
(approximately 10minutes).
14.
C lean the device and accessories after every
use as described in the “Cleaning and disin-
fection” chapter.
6. Cleaning and disinfection
Warning
Adhere to the following hygiene instructions to avoid
health risks. The device must be switched off, discon-
nected from the mains and allowed to cool down each
time before cleaning.
The device must be cleaned after every use
1. M ake sure that the device has cooled down (ap-
prox. 10 minutes), the ON/OFF switch is in the
“OFF” position and the device has been discon-
nected from the power supply.
2.
Pull the cover of the device up and off by pressing
on the button above the aroma container/return
container.

3.
T wist the lid anti-clockwise. Observe the marking
on the lid when you do this. Remove the lid. Empty
any remaining water from the water heater tank.
Then dry it with aclean cloth or let it air-dry com-
pletely. Residual moisture or wetness represents
an increased risk of bacterial growth.
4. Pull out the aroma container/return container.
5. Clean the aroma container/return container, the
cover, the lid, the extension tube and the mask
with warm water and a mild cleaning agent. Clean
these parts thoroughly and allow them to dry com-
pletely. Residual moisture or wetness represents
an increased risk of bacterial growth.
6.
O nce the parts are completely dry, you can reas-
semble the device.
7. Store the device in acool, dry place.
Cleaning the main unit
• Never submerge the main unit in water.
• Clean the main unit using asoft, slightly damp cloth
and amild cleaning agent. Then wipe dry with asoft,
lint-free cloth. Do not use any chemical or abrasive
cleaning agents.
Note
Any other cleaning method or type of cleaning product
could damage the device. Failure to comply with this
instruction will void the warranty.
Cleaning the nozzle
Note
Periodically, the nozzle that directs the steam into ex-
tension tube may become blocked. When the device
starts to produce significantly less steam, or no steam
at all, you need to clean the nozzle.
1.
P ull the cover up and off.
2.
T urn the nozzle in aclockwise direction. Pull the
nozzle up and off.
3.
I nsert athin object (for example aneedle) into the
nozzle in order to clean the air duct.
4. T o reattach the nozzle, align the grips of the noz-
zle with the recesses on the nozzle head. Turn the
nozzle anticlockwise, until you feel the grips of the
nozzle click into place.
Disinfection
The mask can be disinfected using boiling water.
• Remove the mask from extension tube.
• Place the mask into boiling water for 5 minutes.
• Then dry the mask carefully using asoft cloth.
• Re-attach the mask to the extension tube once it has
completely dried.
