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.
If the vaporizer is plugged in and the nightlight is on, the fault may be the low mineral
content of the water in your
area.
allow it to cool. Remove the steam unit 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.
If unit still steams too rapidly, use ½ distilled water and ½ tap water.
Food and drug stores usually stock distilled water. In "hard water" areas
it is advisable to clean the unit every few days in accordance with the
"Weekly Maintenance"section of Care and Cleaning Instructions.
C. Vaporizer is making crackling/buzzing/humming sounds or
water container is unusually hot:
1.
You may have added too much salt. See section B above.
2.
You may live in a "hard water" area. See section B above.
3.
This condition can happen when the water level in the container is low.
Disconnect vaporizer from electrical outlet, allow to cool, remove steam
unit allowing water to first dribble out. Fill the container with tap water to
water level marking.
Unplug the vaporizer from the electrical outlet and
