2.The fault may be the low mineral content of the water in your area.
Unplug the vaporizer from the electrical outlet and allow to cool. Remove the steam unit al- lowing hot water to first dribble out, then add one or two pinches of salt to the water and mix thoroughly. Replace the steam unit and plug in the vaporizer. It should steam within 5 minutes.
