other natural oils. These substances may degrade the
device and accessories.
To avoid incorrect therapy:
Only clean the device and accessories according to the
cleaning instructions below.
To avoid adverse effects:
Do not use ozone to clean this device. Residual ozone
may result in adverse respiratory effects such as irritation
of the nose, throat and lungs.
Cautions
General:
Replace the device and accessories if there is any sign
of cracking, deformation, discoloration or leaking. It is
recommended that you inspect the device, breathing
tube, water chamber, chamber seal, outlet seal, air filter
and elbow, on a regular basis after cleaning. See section
6.4 – Replacement Parts
.
Do not use ozone as it can degrade the device and
accessories.
6.2.1 Wash after each use
The following accessories should be cleaned after each use:
• Breathing tube
• Water chamber
• Chamber seal.
Warnings
To avoid incorrect therapy:
Do not clean or disinfect the ThermoSmart breathing
tube with hot water. This may cause deformation of the
tube and reduce therapeutic pressure.
1. Hand-wash the elbow, water chamber, chamber seal
and breathing tube in a tub of warm, soapy water with a
mild dishwashing detergent. Ensure that all visible soil is
removed.
2. Rinse the elbow, water chamber, chamber seal and
breathing tube thoroughly in a tub of clean water for
30 seconds. Ensure that all soap residue has been
removed.
3. Repeat the rinsing process again, using clean water.
4. Hang the breathing tube, with both ends pointing to the
floor, to dry away from direct sunlight or heat e.g. heated
towel rails.
5. Leave the water chamber and chamber seal to dry out of
direct sunlight or heat.
Note:
The elbow and the standard breathing tube need to
be separated when washing after each use. If dirt remains
inside the breathing tube after rinsing, use a soft, non-
metallic brush to remove it. Rinse the tube again. If the dirt
cannot be removed, the breathing tube should be replaced.
The use of distilled water is recommended during therapy to
reduce mineral deposits and stains. Should mineral deposits
occur, you can reduce these by soaking the water chamber
for 10 minutes in a solution of 1 part white vinegar to 2
parts water. Empty the solution and rinse thoroughly with
clean water. Repeat the rinsing process again, using clean
water. Leave to dry out of direct sunlight or heat before
reassembling.
6.2.2 After 7 days’ use
The device and accessories below should be washed after
7 days’ use:
• Outlet seal
• Elbow
• Device.
Outlet seal and elbow
1. Disconnect the elbow from the standard breathing tube.
2. Hand-wash the outlet seal and elbow in a tub of warm,
soapy water with a mild dishwashing detergent. Ensure
that all visible soil is removed.
3. Rinse the outlet seal and elbow thoroughly in a tub of
clean water for 30 seconds. Ensure that all soap residue
has been removed.
4. Repeat the rinsing process again, using clean water.
5. Leave to dry out of direct sunlight or heat.
6. Reconnect the elbow to the standard breathing tube.
Device
1. Turn the device off at the power supply, then remove the
power cord from the rear of the device.
2. Wipe the exterior and chamber housing of the device
with a clean, damp (not dripping wet) cloth and warm,
soapy water using a mild dishwashing detergent.
3. Leave to dry out of direct sunlight or heat.
Warnings

• Do not pull on the power cord as it may become
damaged.
• Do not immerse the device in water or any other
liquid.
Dishwashing
Once every 7 days, you can clean the water chamber,
chamber seal, and outlet seal in a domestic dishwasher.
Place the water chamber on the top shelf of the dishwasher
and ensure the chamber seal and outlet seal are placed in a
secure location.
