Warnings

For the most effective and safe use of Hunter’s Vaporizer, please READ AND

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! Especially those regarding adding salt.

• ALWAYS place this vaporizer on a firm, level, and water resistant surface. ALWAYS place the vaporizer at least six (6) inches away from walls and heat sources such as stoves, radiators, or heaters.

• ALWAYS place the vaporizer in an area that is out of the reach of children especially infants or toddlers.

Supervision is necessary when the vaporizer is used near children, patients, or pets. Hunter realizes that many customers use vaporizers in their homes with small children. Please take the time to instruct children that the vaporizer is not a toy. Vaporizers produce steam that could cause serious burns.

• Before using the vaporizer, extend the cord and inspect for any signs of damage. DO NOT use the product if the cord has been damaged.

• This product has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a safety feature. This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat or override this safety feature.

• ALWAYS UNPLUG the vaporizer when it is not in operation or while it is being emptied, filled or cleaned.

• The vaporizer should always be placed at least four feet from a bedside and out of reach of the patient or children.

• Always ensure the vaporizer is sitting flat on the surface it is placed and not resting on the cord or other obstructions. Ensure the vaporizer cord is tucked away as to prevent the vaporizer form being upset or turned over.

• DO NOT add medication of any type into the water in the container. Do not cover the steam outlet or place anything over it while the vaporizer is operating. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.

• Never fill the humidifier tank with hot water. Always use clean, cool tap water.

Troubleshooting

A. Vaporizer does not operate or steams too slowly:

1. Make sure the vaporizer is plugged in and the power light is on.

2. If the power light is not on, you may have a blown fuse, tripped a circuit breaker, or a defective electrical outlet. Try a different outlet or check your breaker or fuse in the house.

3. The fault may be low mineral content in the water. To rectify:

I. Unplug the vaporizer from the electrical outlet and allow to cool.

II. Remove the steam unit allowing hot water to first dribble out, then add one or two pinches of salt to the water and mix thoroughly.

III. Replace the steam unit and plug in the vaporizer. It should steam within 5 minutes. If it does not, add salt only by the pinch, since too much salt can cause excessive boiling or blowing of fuse.

4. If the vaporizer has been operating normally and is now failing to steam, it may need to be cleaned. See the weekly maintenance section under ”Cleaning and Storage” on page 5.
