Kaz Vicks Personal Steam Inhaler

How to use Kaz Vicks Personal Sinus Steam Inhaler

1. Fully unravel cord. Failure to do so could cause overheating and possible fire hazards. Do not use extension cords. Place inhaler on a flat, stable surface for use.
2. Remove Inhaler Hood.
3. Turn the Vent Assembly counterclockwise until the Index Line is aligned with the Arrow on the top of the Base (just above the Switch). Note how the Tabs align with the slots in the Base. Lift the Vent Assembly straight up to remove it.
4. Using tap water, fill the Water Reservoir just below the cup rim. Do not overfill. Use with water only. Do not add any medication or inhalant liquids, such as Vicks VapoSteam or Kaz Inhalant, to the water reservoir. An unsafe condition may result if anything is added to the water.
5. Replace the Vent Assembly. Align the Index Line with the raised Arrow on the Base. Be sure the Tabs align with the slots on the top of the Base, then turn the Vent Assembly clockwise until it locks into place.
6. Replace Inhaler Hood.
7. Connect cord to electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord. Press the On/Off Switch to the ON position. The Indicator Light will illuminate.
8. The Steam Inhaler will take approximately 3-5 minutes to begin making steam. Use caution, the water reservoir and water will become extremely hot.
9. Move the Flow Levers counterclockwise for minimum steam flow. Place your face in the hood as pictured on the cover page. Do not rest your face on the Inhaler Hood because the soft plastic may bend, allowing steam to escape or causing the Inhaler to tip over and spill boiling water. Breathe normally through your nose and mouth, inhaling steam into your nasal and throat passages. Continue treatment for five to fifteen minutes.
10. When vapor therapy treatment is completed, move the On/Off switch to the OFF position. The lamp will go out. Disconnect plug from the electrical outlet. Allow the Steam Inhaler to cool before moving or refilling it (see Care and Cleaning section). Do not operate Steam Inhaler when empty.

How to Regulate Steam Flow and Temperature?

The Steam Inhaler features a patented adjustable Vent Assembly which allows you to use either of the Flow Levers to control the amount of steam you inhale as well as regulate temperature.

• For more steam:
  • Move either Vent Lever clockwise toward the “HI” setting. More steam will increase the temperature; this setting will thus feel hotter.
• For less steam:
  • Move either Vent Lever counterclockwise for lower steam flow and temperature.
  • If the steam is still uncomfortably warm, lift your face one or two inches above the Inhaler Hood and continue to inhale.
