Hunter Fan 35156 - Manual (Page 2)

For the most effective and safe use of Hunter’s Vaporizer, please READ AND
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! Especially those regarding adding salt.
• ALWAYS place this vaporizer on a firm, level, and water resistant surface. ALWAYS place the vaporizer at
least six (6) inches away from walls and heat sources such as stoves, radiators, or heaters.
• ALWAYS place the vaporizer in an area that is out of the reach of children especially infants or toddlers.
Supervision is necessary when the vaporizer is used near children, patients, or pets. Hunter realizes that
many customers use vaporizers in their homes with small children. Please take the time to instruct children
that the vaporizer is not a toy. Vaporizers produce steam that could cause serious burns.
• Before using the vaporizer, extend the cord and inspect for any signs of damage. DO NOT use the product
if the cord has been damaged.
• This product has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a safety feature. This plug will
fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat or override this safety feature.
• ALWAYS UNPLUG the vaporizer when it is not in operation or while it is being emptied, filled or cleaned.
• The vaporizer should always be placed at least four feet from a bedside and out of reach of the patient or
children.
• Always ensure the vaporizer is sitting flat on the surface it is placed and not resting on the cord or other
obstructions. Ensure the vaporizer cord is tucked away as to prevent the vaporizer form being upset or
turned over.
• DO NOT add medication of any type into the water in the container. Do not cover the steam outlet or place
anything over it while the vaporizer is operating. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
• Never fill the humidifier tank with hot water. Always use clean, cool tap water.
1. Remove the plastic bag covering from the vaporizer.
2. Unravel and straighten the cord before use.
3. Remove the steam unit from the tank. Twist the steam unit counter-clockwise
until the power cord lines up beside the unlock symbol and lift it out of the
tank. Figure 1 and 2.
4. Fill the tank with clean, cool tap water until the water level is up to the MAX
mark in the Water Level Window. DO NOT OVERFILL. Figure 3.
CAUTION: DO NOT use the vaporizer with extension cords.
Caution: Never fill the humidifier with hot water.
5. Replace the steam unit in the tank with the power cord lining up beside the
unlock symbol. Twist the steam unit clockwise until the power cord lines up
beside the lock symbol.
NOTE: Protect your floor and furniture by placing the vaporizer on a non-
metallic, waterproof, heat-resistant surface.
6. When using vaporizer medications, fill the medicine
cup on the steam unit as directed by the medicine
package. Figure 4.
NOTE: DO NOT add medication of any type into the
water in the tank.
7. Plug the power cord into 110-120 Volts AC
outlet protected up to 15 Amps. The vaporizer
will produce a gentle flow of steam within a few
minutes.
8. If steaming does not start within ten minutes, unplug the steam unit and allow to cool.
9. Remove the Steam unit from the tank and add 2 to 3 pinches of ordinary table salt to the water and mix
thoroughly.
10. Reassemble the unit.
11. If steaming still does not start after another 10 minutes, add another
pinch or two of salt and mix thoroughly. Do not exceed 1/8 teaspon of
salt, about 4-5 pinches, as excessive boiling or a blown fuse could occur.
Note: Remember the amount of salt you added to start the unit steaming. You
will need to add the same amount each time the unit is refilled. Salt has no
effect on the purity of the steam or medication.
The vaporizer will automatically stop producing steam when the water has reached the minimum level indicated
by the water level in the window on the front of the unit. Figure 3. The power light will remain on indicating that
the vaporizer is still plugged in. ALWAYS unplug the steam unit and allow to cool before removing the tank.

Troubleshooting
4
A. Vaporizer does not operate or steams too slowly:
1. Make sure the vaporizer is plugged in and the power light is on.
2. If the power light is not on, you may have a blown fuse, tripped a circuit breaker, or a defective electrical
outlet. Try a different outlet or check your breaker or fuse in the house.
3. The fault may be low mineral content in the water. To rectify:
I. Unplug the vaporizer from the electrical outlet and allow to cool.
II. Remove the steam unit allowing hot water to first dribble out, then add one or two pinches of salt to
the water and mix thoroughly.
III. Replace the steam unit and plug in the vaporizer. It should steam within 5 minutes. If it does not, add
salt only by the pinch, since too much salt can cause excessive boiling or blowing of fuse.
4. If the vaporizer has been operating normally and is now failing to steam, it may need to be cleaned. See
the weekly maintenance section under ”Cleaning and Storage” on page 5.

Weekly Maintenance:
1. Unplug the steam unit and allow it to cool.
2. Remove the steam unit by turning counter-clockwise until the power cord is beside the unlock graphic and
lift it out of the tank.
3. Let all water drain back into the tank.
4. Turn the tank upside down and empty any water into a sink or tub.
5. Create a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water which should be 1/2 gallon
vinegar and 1/2 gallon water. Pour this solution into the tank. Be sure to
only fill the tank to the MAX line as indicated on the water level window
on the front of the tank.
6. With the steam unit unplugged, place it back into the tank and soak for 30
minutes. After soaking for 30 minutes, remove the steam unit.
7. Empty the solution from the tank and rinse the tank. Fill the tank with tap
water to the MAX line as indicated on the water level window on the front of the tank. Place the steam unit
back into the tank for 30 seconds. Remove the steam unit and empty the water. Repeat the rinsing steps
until the vinegar smell is gone.
8. Dry with a clean cloth. Clean the medicine cup with a slightly damp clean cloth.
Note: The tank has built-in antimicrobial properties to inhibit the growth of
bacteria, mold, and fungi that may affect the water in the tank. Daily and
weekly maintenance are still necessary to prevent the growth of bacteria, mold,
and fungi.
