Note
The most effective form of nebulisation is by using
the mouthpiece. Nebulisation using a mask is only
recommended if it is not possible to use a mouth-
piece (e.g. for children who are not yet able to inhale
medication using a mouthpiece).
If you are using the adult mask
to your head with the adult mask strap. There is also
a strap for the children's mask
When using a mask to inhale, take care to ensure the
mask fits well and the eyes are unobstructed.
• Before the treatment, pull the atomiser upwards
out of the holder
• Start the nebuliser using the On/Off switch
• Spray mist pouring out of the atomiser indicates
that the device is operating correctly.
6.5 Treatment
• When inhaling, sit upright and relaxed at a table
and not in an armchair to avoid compressing the
airways and therefore impairing the effective-
ness of the treatment.
• Breathe in the atomised medication deeply.
Important
The device is not suitable for continuous operation;
after 30 minutes of operation it must be switched off
for 30 minutes.
Note
During the treatment, hold the atomiser straight (ver-
tically), otherwise the atomisation will not work and
faultless functionality is not guaranteed.
Depending on the battery charge status and acces-
sory used, the inhalation time stated may vary.

These additions are often viscous and can impair
the correct functioning of the device and therefore
the effectiveness of the application in the long-
term. For individuals with a hypersensitive bronchial
system, medications containing essential oils may
under certain conditions cause an acute bronchos-
pasm (a sudden cramp-like restriction of the bronchi
with shortness of breath). Consult your doctor or
pharmacist in relation to this matter.
6.6 Stopping inhalation
Once the mist is only coming out in an irregular flow
or if the sound changes when inhaling, you can stop

7. CHANGING THE FILTER

In normal operating conditions, the air filter must be
replaced after approx. 100 operating hours or one
year. Please check the air filter regularly (after 10–12
nebulisation procedures). Replace the used filter if
it is very dirty or clogged. If the filter has become
damp, it must also be exchanged for a new filter.
Important
• Do not attempt to clean the used filter and reuse
it.
• Only use the manufacturer's original filter, other-
wise your nebuliser may become damaged and
sufficiently effective treatment cannot be guar-
anteed.
• Do not repair or maintain the air filter while it is
in use.
• Never operate the device without a filter.
