OPERATING YOUR STEAM INHALER
Follow the cleaning instructions in this guidebook under “Cleaning Technique” prior to using your Steam

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 unit on a flat and stable surface within reach, with the mask facing towards you, Fig. 1.
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. 2.
4. Using the included measuring cup, fill the water heater tank with approximately 25ml of tap
water, Fig. 5. Do not fill water above the five square-shaped vents on the wall of the tank.

with the bottom of the tank.
8. Position the extension tube to a comfortable position by manually extending or retracting the
tube.

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.

11. Turn the POWER switch to the “ON” position.
12. Start your treatment.
13. The Steam Inhaler will begin to output steam in approximately 75 seconds. Once the level of

and unplug the power cord from the outlet.
