Add salt only by the pinch, since too much salt can cause excessive boiling or blowing of fuse.
If the vaporizer has been operating normally and is now failing to steam, it needs to be cleaned.

Overboiling, flickering lights, blown fuse or heavy steam flow 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 to cool.
Pour out the water and rinse the ToteAwayTM tank. Rinse steam unit as described in the weekly
maintenance section. Refill with fresh water but do not add salt. If vaporizer now does not
operate or steams too slowly, follow instructions in above section A.
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 the vaporizer from the electrical outlet and allow to cool.
Remove steam unit allowing hot water to first dribble out, then pour out water and rinse the
ToteAwayTM tank. Rinse steam unit as described in the weekly maintenance section. Refill with
fresh water but do not add salt.
If unit still steams too rapidly, use 1/2 distilled water and 1/2 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

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.

the vaporizer from the electrical outlet, allow to cool, remove steam unit allowing hot water to
first dribble out. Fill the ToteAwayTM tank with tap water to MAX water level marking.

Remove the plastic covering from the vaporizer. Remove
the tape from the water level indicator.
Unravel and straighten out the cord before use.
Always unplug the cord from the electrical outlet and
the steam unit before removing the steam unit or when
not in use. Allow vaporizer to cool before handling.
Remove the steam unit from the ToteAwayTM tank. Twist
the steam unit counterclockwise and lift it out of the
ToteAwayTM tank. Refer to Figure A & B.
Fill the ToteAwayTM tank with tap water. Fill the container until the water level indicator shows the MAX

Add salt. For tap water of low or moderate mineral content, add 4 to 5 pinches (1/8 teaspoon) of ordinary table
salt to the water and mix thoroughly. Salt has no effect
on the purity of the steam or medication.
If an adequate steam flow is not obtained after ten minutes, add another pinch or two as needed and mix thoroughly.
If you live in a “hard-water” area, the vaporizer may operate well without salt additive.

1. Make sure the vaporizer is plugged in and the NiteGloTM power light is on.
If the NiteGloTM power light is not on, you may have a blown fuse, 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. 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 allowing 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.
