• Please observe the general hygiene measures when using the steam vaporiser.
• If the device does not work properly, or you feel unwell or experience pain, stop using it immediately.
• Do not position your face too close to the Inhaler Attachment, otherwise the hot steam could cause burn injuries. Close your eyes during the treatment and protect heat-sensitive zones.
• Do not place your face directly on the Inhaler Attachment, there is a risk of the appliance tipping over and a risk of skin burns.
• Never open the device (remove the cover) while it is in operation. Allow the device to cool down first. Otherwise, you may get burnt.

• Never leave the device unattended while in use.
• The device must be switched off and the plug pulled out before every cleaning and/or maintenance procedure.
• Keep packaging material away from children (risk of suffocation).
• To avoid the risk of entanglement and strangulation, store the cable out of the reach of small children.
• Do not use any additional parts that are not recommended by the manufacturer.
• The device must only be connected to the mains voltage that is specified on the type plate.
• Never submerge the device in water and do not use it in the bathroom. Under no circumstances may liquid enter the device.
• Protect the device from heavy impact.
• Never touch the mains cable with wet hands, as you could get an electric shock.

• Do not pull the mains plug out of the socket using the mains cable.

• Do not crush or bend the mains cable, pull it over sharpedged objects or leave it dangling down, and protect it from sources of heat.

• We recommend that the power cable is completely unrolled to avoid dangerous overheating.
• If the mains connection cable of this device is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its customer service department or a similarly qualified person to avoid any risks.
• If the device is opened, there is a risk of electric shock. Disconnection from the power supply network is only guaranteed if the mains plug is unplugged.
• If the device has been dropped, exposed to high levels of moisture or suffered any other damage, it must no longer be used. If in doubt, contact Customer Services or the retailer.
• The steam vaporiser may only be operated with the appropriate accessories.

• Store the device in a location protected against climatic influences. The device must be stored in the environmental conditions specified.

PROTECTION

• The device has a protection fuse. This may only be replaced by authorised specialist personnel.
• The device also has a thermal fuse, which switches the steam vaporiser off if it overheats. In the event of overheating, the light on the ON/OFF button does not turn off. If this happens, proceed as follows:
• Switch off the device first.
• Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
• Wait for at least 30 minutes until the device has cooled down completely.
• Switch the device back on and check whether it is working properly again. If it does, you can continue using the device

again. If it does not, please contact Customer Services or an authorised retailer.

• Do not operate the appliance without water. Unplug this product before filling. Fill with water only. Never add any medications or inhalant liquids to the Water Reservoir. Do not overfill.
• Never move or lift the inhaler while it is in use. Steam is produced by boiling water; tilting can cause water spill and possible burns.
• The appliance should always be placed on a firm, flat waterproof surface. Be sure the appliance is in a stable position and the power cord is out of the way to prevent the unit from being tipped over.
• Never use appliance while sleepy or drowsy.

General notes

IMPORTANT

• The device is suitable only:
• for use on people,
• for the purpose for which it was developed and as specified in these instructions for use.
• Any form of improper use can be dangerous.
• In the event of an acute emergency, providing first aid must take top priority.
• Only use water with low chalk content or distilled water. Other liquids may potentially cause a fault in the steam vaporiser.
• This device is not intended for commercial or clinical use; it is designed exclusively for self-treatment in a private home. In addition, other liquids can cause undesirable behavior, e.g. splashing of the liquid, which in turn can lead to skin burns.

6. TO USE

Follow the instructions in the Chapter "Cleaning and maintenance" before using the device for the first time or if it has not been used for an extended period.

1. Remove the device from the packaging. Ensure that there is a mains socket close to the set-up area.
2. Fully extend the power cord. Place Inhaler on a flat, stable, water-resistant surface for use.
3. Remove the Inhaler Attachment by lifting it straight up.
4. Press the Latching Clip and lift the Vent Assembly straight up to separate it from the Base.
5. Fill the Water Reservoir with clean, clear water up to the MAX mark (1.35 fl oz /40 ml). Do not overfill. Use with water only. Do not add any medication or inhalant liquids to the Water Reservoir.
6. Attach the Vent Assembly. Guide the Latching Clip through the opening provided and press the Vent Assembly onto the base until the Latching Clip clicks into place.
7. Attach Inhaler Attachment.
8. Connect the power cord to an electrical outlet.
9. Press the On/Off Button; the Indicator Light will illuminate.
10. After 3-5 minutes, the Steam Inhaler will begin to emit steam. CAUTION: The water reservoir and water will become very hot.
11. Slide the Flow Lever left to decrease the amount of steam and to the right to increase the amount of steam.
12. Place your face over the Inhaler Attachment. Do not rest your face on the Inhaler Attachment; this may cause steam to es-

cape under the attachment or cause the inhaler to tip over. Keep enough distance from the Inhaler Attachment so that the temperature of the steam feels comfortable and not too hot. Breathe normally through your nose and mouth, inhaling steam into your nasal and throat passages. Continue treatment for five to fifteen minutes.

1. When your treatment is completed, press the On/Off Button to switch off the device. The Indicator Light will shut off. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet. Let the Steam Inhaler cool before moving or refilling it. Do not operate the Steam Inhaler when it is empty.

Treatment during the cold season

During use, sit in an upright and relaxed position at a table and not in an armchair, so as to avoid compressing the airways and therefore impairing effectiveness. Breathe in deeply.

Treatment for cosmetic facial care

Sit in front of the device. Bend forward far enough that your face is over the Inhaler Attachment. After the treatment, wash your face with cold water. Now apply a facial cream or face mask. The open pores allow the active ingredients to penetrate deep into the skin. Do not use the facial sauna for more than a total of 20 minutes per day. It is recommended that 2 to 3 treatments are performed per week. As soon as the production of steam starts to diminish (maximum duration approx. 15 minutes), press the On/Off Button to switch off the device

Using Vapor Pads

1. Make sure that the device is switched off before inserting a vapor pad.

2. Open the package of the vapor pad. Do not touch the pad with your hands. If the pad contacts your hands/ fingers, do not rub your face or eyes as it may cause irritation.

3. Place the vapor pad on top of the Vent Assembly between the two vapor pad holders.

After each use, pull the mains plug out of the socket. Allow the device to cool down completely (approximately 20 minutes). Clean the device and the Inhaler Attachment used after every use as described in the “Cleaning and maintenance” chapter

7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
