Changing The Filter - Beurer IH20 Instructions For Use Manual

Important
Essential oils, cough medicines, solutions designed for gargling, and drops for appli-
cation to the skin or for use in steam baths are wholly unsuitable for inhalation using
a nebulizer. These substances are often highly viscous and can impair the correct
function of the device and hence affect the effectiveness of its application in the long
term.
In the case of oversensitivity of the bronchial system, medicines containing essential
oils can sometimes cause acute bronchiospasm (a sudden, cramp-like tightening of
the bronchi accompanied by breathlessness). Always ask your doctor or pharmacist
for advice!
• End of inhalation: If the spray is only output sporadically or if the noise changes
6
during inhalation, you can end the treatment.
• After treatment, turn off the compressor at the switch [3] and disconnect it from
the mains.
• After use, replace the atomizer [9] in its holder [7].
7 Clean the device.
See section "Cleaning and maintenance" on page 28 and "Disinfecting the atomizer
and accessories" on page 26.

Changing the filter

Check the filter at regular intervals (e.g. after every 10th use). If the filter is very contami-
nated or blocked, replace the used filter. If the filter has become wet, it must also be re-
placed with a new one.
CAUTION:
• Do not try to clean and re-use the used filter!
• Only use original filters supplied by the manufacturer. Otherwise, your nebu-
liser may become damaged or effective therapy can no longer be guaranteed.
• Never operate the device without a filter.
To replace the filter, proceed as follows:
CAUTION:
• First switch off the unit and unplug it.
• Let the unit cool off.
Pull the filter cap [5] forwards and turn it.
