SECTION 5—USING THE HUMIDIFIER
SECTION 5—USING THE
HUMIDIFIER
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.1.
1. Place the assembled CPAP and humidifier on a firm, flat
surface at a level lower than your sleeping position.
2. Remove and rinse out the water reservoir assembly. Refer
to Cleaning Water Reservoir Assembly on page 15.
ALWAYS remove the water reservoir assembly from the
heated humidifier before filling with water.
3. Fill the water reservoir assembly to the fill line with water
(approx. 1½ cups or 350 ml). Invacare recommends using
distilled water. DO NOT overfill the water reservoir
assembly.
4. Replace the reservoir cap.
NOTE: Reservoir cap only needs to be finger‐tight to ensure proper
seal.
ALWAYS reattach the water reservoir assembly to the
heated humidifier immediately after filling with water.
Allowing water to sit in the reservoir when it is not
connected to the humidifier may cause the reservoir plate
to separate from the reservoir causing water to leak.
Take precautions to protect furniture from water
damage.
