IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VAPORIZER AND
SAVE THESE IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR EASY REFERENCE.
When using any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions
should be followed including:
1. Always
place this vaporizer on a firm, flat and level surface, at least 4 feet (1.2
meters) away from
any person. It may not work properly on an uneven surface.
2. RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS
- STEAM EMITTED CAN CAUSE BURNS. NEVER POINT THE STEAM OUTLET
DIRECTLY TOWARD ANY PERSON.
3. Do not place the vaporizer
near any heat sources such as stoves, radiators or heaters.
4. Before
using the vaporizer, check the power cord for any signs of damage. If the
cord is found to be
damaged, DO NOT USE and
return the vaporizer to Honeywell under the warranty agreement for repair.
Never allow the power cord to be immersed in water or other liquid.
5. This product is equipped
with a polarized AC-line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature.
NEVER connect the vaporizer to any power source other
than a 120V AC polarized outlet.
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet,
try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact an
electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
DO NOT defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
6. Never
plug in vaporizer without filling with water and always UNPLUG and
empty the vaporizer before moving, filling, cleaning, or storing. UNPLUG the
vaporizer before removing the electrode heating assembly.
7. RISK
OF FIRE NEVER add
salt to the water. This can cause excessive boiling and electrical overloading
of your household electrical system.
8. DO
NOT add
vaporizer medicine or any medicine directly into the water. Place in the
medicine cup and fill it halfway. Honeywell assumes no responsibility for
consequences resulting from the use of medications in this vaporizer.
9. Do not OVER-FILL the
vaporizer.
Doing so may result in electrical shock.
10. This
vaporizer requires regular cleaning. Refer to the CLEANING instructions
provided. Never clean the vaporizer in any manner other than as instructed
in this manual.
11. Unplug the vaporizer if
the relative humidity exceeds 60%. For proper humidity readings use a hygrometer
which is available in many hardware and department stores, or by ordering
one from Honeywell (see Care Products and Accessories).
12. DO NOT ADD ANY ROBITUSSIN® DIRECTLY
INTO THE UNIT OR WATER.
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USE AND CARE
SET-UP
1. Select
a firm, level, flat location at least six inches (15 cm) from any
wall for proper air flow and convenient to an electrical outlet. Be
sure that the steam outlet is pointed away from any persons.
2. Place
the vaporizer on a water-resistant surface, as water can damage furniture
and some flooring. Honeywell
will not accept responsibility for property damage caused by water spillage.
FILLING
We recommend that the vaporizer be disinfected prior to
first use. Please see CLEANING instructions.
1. To remove the heating assembly
from the base; insert the plug into the back of the heating assembly to release
the safety lock (Figure 1). While holding the plug in this position, lift
the power head off the unit base.
2. Fill
the base with COOL tap water to the FILL LINE" located on the inside
of the unit (Figure 2). DO NOT USE HOT WATER.
DO NOT over-fill the vaporizer as this may result in electrical
shock.
This unit can be filled in the vertical or horizontal
position (Figure 3). Never add any chemicals or
solutions to the water.
Exclusive, Helping Handle :
The Helping Handle makes
the unit easy to carry when filled. Use this handle to return the filled
unit back to the area of use (Figure 4).
Place the unit down in a horizontal position prior to
use (Figure 5).
3. Reposition the heating assembly
onto the base.
4. Whenever refilling be sure
to wipe out any residual water with a clean cloth or paper towel.
OPERATION
DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT IN AN UPRIGHT VERTICAL POSITION
(FIGURE 6).
Plug the filled vaporizer into a polarized 120V AC outlet.
DO NOT FORCE THE POLARIZED PLUG INTO THE OUTLET; it
will only fit one way.
CAUTION: DO NOT PLUG IN THE VAPORIZER WITH WET HANDS AS
ELECTRIC SHOCK COULD OCCUR.
NOTE: If
the vaporizer does not start producing steam within 25 minutes, it means
that your waters mineral content is too
low to allow for electrical current flow. Unplug and remove the Heating Assembly.
Add a 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda per tank of water to initiate steaming
action. Make sure to thoroughly mix the baking soda with the water in the
base. Adding too much baking soda can cause excessive
boiling and hot water spurting, which may cause burns.
1. If the vaporizer boils excessively,
spurts hot water or blows fuses without having added any chemical additives,
the water mineral content is TOO HIGH. Unplug the vaporizer and clean per
the CLEANING instructions. Refill using 1/2 tap water and
1/2 distilled water, which will dilute the mineral content of your water.
2. The vaporizer will automatically
shut off when the water level drops below the heating electrodes.
3. When you are finished using
the vaporizer unplug it and clean after each use.
4. ALWAYS be sure to discard
any unused water in the base before storing or refilling.
USING THE MEDICINE
CUP (OPTIONAL)
Place medicine in the medicine cup which is located on
the top of the power head. HONEYWELL ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY
FOR CONSEQUENCES OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE USE OF MEDICATIONS IN THIS
VAPORIZER.

2. With vinegar still in the
base, clean all interior surfaces of the base with a soft brush or cloth
to remove scale. Carefully wipe the exterior of the Heating Assembly and
remove any scale buildup.
3. Flush the base thoroughly
with clean, warm water to remove scale and cleaning solution before disinfecting
base.
STEP TWO:
WEEKLY
DISINFECTING (Base and Heating Assembly)
