CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
The steam inhaler mask(s) and accessories should be thoroughly cleaned after each use and
disinfected each day if being used to treat an illness unless a different cleaning regimen is
specified by your healthcare professional.
Always make certain that the unit has cooled completely after a therapy session before
attempting to dismantle or clean the steam inhaler.
CLEANING/RINSING:
1. Ensure that the power is set to OFF and the power cord is
disconnected from the power outlet.
2. Disconnect the mask(s). Remove the secondary fill tank,
the top portion of the unit housing and the lid of the
water heating tank.
3. Empty any remaining water from the water heat tank.
4. Use warm water to rinse the mask(s) and secondary fill tank; if an aromatherapy product or
saline water was used, you may wash the pieces with a mild detergent.
5. Allow the unit to completely air dry or dry thoroughly with a clean, soft towel. Do not store
any parts wet as remaining moisture creates a risk for bacterial growth.
6. Never wash or submerge steam inhaler housing or power cord. Occasionally wipe the
body of the unit with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry. Only clean the body of the unit
when it is unplugged and completely cool.
NOTE: Steam inhaler parts and masks are NOT dishwasher safe.
DISINFECTION:
The same general process may be followed when disinfecting the parts of the steam inhaler.
Mix one part white vinegar with three parts distilled water in a volume sufficient to fully
immerse all of the parts. Submerge the parts in the water and vinegar mixture for thirty
minutes, then rinse all parts thoroughly with water.
