What temperature should the water be?
Use hot, but not boiling, water. Boiling water can be dangerous and may damage the inhaler.
Can I add essential oils or menthol to the water?

How often can I use the Medisure Steam Inhaler?
You can use the steam inhaler as needed to relieve symptoms. However, listen to your body and do not overuse it, especially if you feel any discomfort.
Is the nasal mask comfortable to use?
Yes, the nasal mask is designed to be PVC-free and fits over the nose and mouth to aid comfortable inhalation of steam.
How do I store the steam inhaler?
After cleaning and ensuring it is completely dry, store the inhaler in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Inhaler feels unstable
Ensure the inhaler is placed on a completely flat and stable surface. Check that the non-slip base is clean and free from debris.
Steam output is low
Verify that the water used is hot enough (but not boiling). Ensure the nasal mask is fitted snugly to prevent steam from escaping. Check for any blockages in the mask or inhaler.
Inhaler is difficult to clean
Disassemble the nasal mask from the cup. Use a soft brush with warm, soapy water to clean all parts. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely.
Water spills easily
Make sure to use the handles provided for carrying and positioning. Do not overfill the inhaler. Use with caution, especially when feeling unwell.
