Troubleshooting: What To Do If…

A. Vaporizer does not operate or steams too slowly:

1.Make sure the vaporizer is plugged in and the night-light is lit. If the night- light is not on, you may have a blown fuse, a tripped circuit breaker or a defective electrical outlet. Try a different outlet. You may want to contact an electrician to check the potentially defective outlet.

2.The fault may be the low mineral content of the water in your area. Unplug the vaporizer from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool. Remove

the steam unit allowing allowing the water to drain out, add one or two PINCHES (1/8 tsp) of salt to the water and mix thoroughly. Replace the steam unit and plug in the vaporizer. It should steam within 5 minutes. Add salt only by the PINCH, since too much salt can cause excessive boiling or blow a fuse.

3.If the vaporizer has been operating normally and is now failing to steam, it needs to be cleaned. See the “Weekly Maintenance” section of Care and Cleaning Instructions.

B.Vaporizer operates too fast, fuse blows:

Overboiling, flickering lights, blown fuse or heavy steam flow from Safety

Vents generally indicates one of the following causes...

1.Too much salt was added to the water. To correct the condition: Disconnect the vaporizer from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool. Pour out water and rinse container. Rinse steam unit as described in “Weekly Maintenance” section of Care and Cleaning Instructions. Refill with fresh water but DO NOT ADD SALT. If the vaporizer now does not operate or steams too slowly, see directions in Section A above.

2.You live in a “hard water” area and minerals in the tap water are causing the vaporizer to steam too rapidly.

To correct the condition: Disconnect vaporizer from electrical outlet and allow to cool. Remove steam unit allowing hot water to first dribble out, pour out water and rinse container. Rinse steam unit as described in “Weekly Maintenance” section of Care and Cleaning Instructions. Refill with fresh water but DO NOT ADD SALT.
