Important Note for Overseas Travelers
The VapoTherapy Electric Steam Inhaler is compact.
You can take it anywhere you go, even when traveling
overseas. In fact, a change in your travel environment
can often trigger just the type of respiratory ailments
that the VapoTherapy Electric Steam Inhaler is designed
to help relieve.

For travel, the VapoTherapy Electric Steam Inhaler has a
dual voltage feature which automatically adjusts to the
electrical supply from 120 volts to the 240 volt current
found in many countries. You may, however, need a plug
adapter in some countries. Your local luggage or hard-
ware store can help you choose the right plug adapter
for your travels or call our Consumer Service
Department at 800-477-0457 to order a Plug Adapter Kit.
This kit includes five adapters for worldwide use and a
cloth storage/travel bag. Order model # M-200 for $9.99
plus $3.00 postage and handling.

Congratulations!

Your new VapoTherapy Electric Steam Inhaler provides all
of the benefits of steam inhalation therapy at home, at the
office or when traveling.

Doctors recommend vapor therapy for symptomatic relief
of colds, flu, bronchitis, sinusitis, laryngitis and allergies.
The Electric Steam Inhaler provides a steady flow of warm
moist air directly to the nose and throat for quick relief of
nasal, sinus and chest congestion, coughs and parched
throat.

Why steam inhalation therapy works
Breathing warm, moist air (natural steam) provides immedi-
ate relief by lessening mucus production, nasal congestion,
coughing, sore throat discomfort and headache pain.

— Prevention Magazine 12/89

The National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases
recommends inhaling steam to lessen discomfort and pro-
vide quicker relief for sinusitis and allergies.

Pub. No. 83-540

How the VapoTherapy Electric Steam Inhaler helps
Use your Steam Inhaler for five to fifteen minutes, two or
three times a day while symptoms persist. Inhaling steam
provides natural therapy. No medication, Vicks®
VapoSteam® or Kaz Inhalant should be added directly to
the water reservoir of the steam inhaler.

Kaz Inhalant Pads
Try Kaz inhalant pads with your VapoTherapy Electric
Steam Inhaler. These pads are designed to work with your
inhaler to provide soothing menthol and eucalyptus vapors
while the steam relieves upper respiratory congestion. Kaz
inhalant pads are available where Kaz or Vicks® Steam
Inhalers are sold, or directly from Kaz at 
(800) 477-0457.

To maintain a healthful level of room humidity, the use of a
Kaz or Vicks® humidifier or vaporizer is recommended to
complement your use of the VapoTherapy Electric Steam
Inhaler.
