3. Safety instructions

3.1 Safety rules

Please read these operating instructions carefully. They are an integral part of the device
and must be kept available for reference at all times. Always use the device only for the
purpose described (see "2.1 Uses" on page 4).
For your own safety and that of your patients, and in accordance with the requirements of
Directive
93/42/EEC, please observe the following points:
Operating the appliance
Caution!
• Check that the mains voltage shown on the device matches your local
mains voltage. The device can run on a mains voltage of 115 V or 230 V.
It automatically adjusts to one of these voltages. For running on 12 V DC
or 24 V DC, use one of the power inverters which are available as an
accessory.
• Do not place the device close to heating systems (radiators etc.), and do
not expose it to direct sunlight, as this can cause additional heating of
the air for breathing and the internal parts of the device. This could result
in condensation forming in the humidifier and condensing out in the
hose system.
• Make sure the device is not covered by bedding etc. This would block the
air inlet and could cause the device to overheat. This could result in inad-
equate therapy for the patient and damage to the device.
Caution!
• Maintain a safe distance between SOMNOsoft + and equipment that
emits HF radiation (e.g. mobile phones). Otherwise there is a risk of
malfunction (see page 36).
• To prevent infection or bacterial contamination, please observe section
"6. Hygienic preparation" on page 19.
