OPERATION
IMPORTANT: When your vaporizer is plugged in, it is ON - however it will take
time (20-25 minutes) for the vaporizer to heat the water and produce steam.
The heating process is silent, so the vaporizer will not make any noise until
the water comes to a boil, at which time you may hear a gentle bubbling or
boiling sound.
1. If the Vaporizer does not start producing steam within 25 minutes…
Your water’s mineral content is too low to allow for electrical current flow and
the water will not come to a boil.
• Unplug and remove the Steam Assembly.
• Add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda per gallon of water (or 1 packet of
Duracraft’s DuraStart following the directions on the package) to help the
water come to a boil. Be sure to thoroughly mix the Baking Soda or
DuraStart with the water in the Base.
NOTE: Adding too much baking soda or DuraStart can cause boiling and/or
hot water spurting, which may cause burns.
2. If the Vaporizer boils excessively, spurts hot water or blows fuses…
Your water’s mineral content is too high.
• Make sure no chemicals have been added to the water. If any chemicals
were added, turn off and unplug the vaporizer. Empty Base and refill with
tap water only.
• If no chemicals have been added, turn off and unplug the vaporizer.
CLean per the cleaning instructions.
• Refill using 1/2 tap water and 1/2 distilled water, which will lower the
mineral content of your water and prevent excessive boiling.
• When you are finished using the vaporizer, unplug it and clean after
each use.
• ALWAYS be sure to discard any unused water in the base before storing
or refilling.
