Instructions for the V150SG Vicks Steam Guard Vaporizer

A vaporizer produces steam and projects it into the air. You can use a vaporizer to help suppress cold or influenza symptoms or to simply increase the humidity during dry winter months. The Vicks V150SG Steam Guard is a vaporizer with a 1.5-gallon tank built to operate for up to 24 hours without a refill. You can add medicine to the unit to increase its effectiveness. The Vicks V150SG is simple to use, however you must take care, as the unit gets extremely hot.
