Vicks Sinus Inhaler

Using Your Personal Sinus Inhaler

1. Fully unravel cord. Failure to do so could cause overheating and possible fire hazard. DO NOT use with extension cords or power strip. Place Inhaler on a flat, stable surface for use.

2. Unlock the Top Housing from the Base by twisting the Top Housing counter clockwise. When fully unlocked, the arrow on the Top Housing will align with the unlock symbol on the Base. Lift the Top Housing straight up and set aside.

3. Fill Water Reservoir with up to 2.5 tablespoons (40mL) of cool tap water. DO NOT fill above Heating Element. Use with tap water only. DO NOT add any essential oils, medication or inhalant liquids to the Water Reservoir. These will damage the unit and void the warranty.

4. Place Top Housing on the Base and twist clockwise to lock. When fully locked, you will feel a click and the arrow on the Top Housing will align with the lock symbol on Base.

5. Place Mask on Top Housing and gently push down to ensure Mask is secure. NEVER move, lift, shake or tilt the Sinus Inhaler while it is in use or while it contains hot water. DO NOT remove the Mask or Top Housing after turning ON the Inhaler. Steam is produced by boiling water; tilting or shaking unit can cause water to spill and possible burns. DO NOT block any vents.

6. Connect cord to electrical outlet. DO NOT use with extension cord or power strip. Press the On/Off Switch to the ON position. The Indicator Light will illuminate.

7. The Sinus Inhaler will take approximately 6 minutes to begin making steam. Use caution, the Water Reservoir and water will become hot.

8. Place your face over the Mask. DO NOT rest your face on the Mask. Breathe normally through your nose and mouth, inhaling steam into your nasal and throat passages. Continue application for five to fifteen minutes.

9. Adjusting steam intensity:
A. For More Steam: Move the Steam Disk Control clockwise for maximum steam.
B. For Less Steam: Move the Steam Disk Control counterclockwise for minimum steam. If at any time the application becomes too intense, stop application immediately.

10. When application is complete, move Power Switch to the OFF position. The Indicator Light will go out. Disconnect plug from electrical outlet. Allow the appliance to cool for at least 20 minutes before moving or refilling it (see Care and Cleaning section). DO NOT operate Sinus Inhaler when empty.

NOTE: Sinus Inhaler will automatically shut-off when water runs out. If this happens, move Power Switch to OFF position and unplug unit.

Using Vicks VapoPads

Your Vicks Sinus Inhaler can be used with Vicks VapoPads, to provide up to 8 hours of soothing vapors. Two samples of the VapoPads are included with your device.

To use your unit with scent pads, ensure that the unit is OFF and follow these instructions:

1. Gently slide out the VapoPad Tray from the back of the Top Housing. Note: Only slide Tray out. DO NOT attempt to detach the Tray from the Top Housing.

2. Open VapoPad sachet by tearing notch on pad bag. DO NOT touch pad with hands. If pad is touched, DO NOT rub face or eyes as it may cause irritation.

3. Insert Vicks VapoPad with angled end at the front of the tray. Up to two scent pads can be inserted, one in each slot of the VapoPad Tray. Push VapoPad Tray in to close.

4. When the VapoPad is dried and no longer providing scent, discard.

NOTE: DO NOT operate Sinus Inhaler if VapoPad Tray is missing or not secured. For use with Vicks VapoPads only. Not for use with essential oils or inhalants. These will damage the unit and void the warranty.
