Daily Use

1. Place the connected therapy device with humidifier on a firm, flat surface lower than your sleeping position.
WARNING: The humidifier must always be positioned below the breathing circuit connection at the mask and
the air outlet on the device. The humidifier must be level for proper operation.
CAUTION: Do not place the humidifier directly onto carpet, fabric, or other flammable materials.
CAUTION: Do not place the device in or on any container that can collect or hold water. Take precautions to
protect furniture from water damage.
CAUTION: Do not turn the humidifier on without the water tank installed. The Humidifier number setting must
remain on 0 if there is no water in the water tank.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to fill the tank while it is still inside the humidifier.
WARNING: Allow the humidifier heater plate and water to cool down for approximately 15 minutes before
removing the water tank. A burn may result from: touching the heater plate, coming in contact with the heated
water, or touching the tank pan.
2. Lift up on the release lever to open the humidifier door until it locks in an open position. You will hear a "click"
once the door is opened far enough to remain in an open position. Remove the water tank by grasping the front of
the tank and sliding it out of the humidifier base.
CAUTION: The humidifier door must be set in the open position before removing the water tank. Do not
remove the water tank without making sure that the humidifier door locks into the open position.
