The Vicks Warm Steam Vaporizer does not require cleaning tablets. After each use, empty any unused water from the container, rinse thoroughly and drain and wipe with a dry, clean cloth. The stainless steel heater is also easy to clean. After prolonged use (greater than 150 hours) the heater surface should be cleaned. To do this, simply soak the unit in 8cm of white vinegar for 10 minutes, then using a butter knife to gently remove any minerals from the metal heater surface.
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Refer to the Vicks Warm Steam Vaporizer Operating Manual for full instructions for use and care.
WARNING: Keep out of reach of children.
Carefully supervise young children when the vaporizer is operating. Although air intake vents provide 25% lower temperature and are safer than conventional vaporizer, steam could still cause burns.
Do not direct steam flow directly at patient, walls or furniture.
Steam can cause burns. This appliance is not intended for use by children without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Unplug the appliance during filling and cleaning.
