Disconnecting the Therapy Device

 Caution:

 To avoid spilling, do not disconnect the humidifier from the therapy device with water in the tank. 

Remove the water tank from the humidifier before disconnecting the therapy device.

1. Disconnect power to the therapy device.  

2. Pick up the system.
3. Place one hand on the therapy device and the other on the humidifier.  
4. Press the humidifier release button (1) and pull apart to separate.

Checking the Humidifier Lid Seal

Under normal use, the humidifier lid seal should not require any maintenance or replacement. The seal may be 
cleaned as needed by wiping it with a damp cloth. If necessary, the humidifier lid seal may be removed for further 
cleaning. Gently peel the seal from the humidifier lid and clean it in a solution of warm water and a mild liquid 
dishwashing detergent. Rinse with clean water. Wipe completely on both sides. Allow the seal to air dry. Inspect 
the seal for damage. If the humidifier lid seal show signs of wear or damage, contact your home care provider for a 

replacement.

To install or reseat your humidifier lid seal, fully open the humidifier lid. Position the seal (1) against the inside of the 
lid so the seal’s center hole aligns with the humidifier outlet port. Confirm that the seal is positioned so the wire 
channel (2) in the seal is below the humidifier outlet port (3).

  Note:

 The seal only fits properly in one orientation.

With the seal loosely in place, start at the bottom (1) and gently press the edges of the seal into the channel in the lid 

of the humidifier. Continue sliding your fingers all around the rectangular perimeter of the seal until the outer edge 
is completely seated. Next, press the seal around the humidifier outlet port (2) until the center of the seal is fully 
seated. Finally, go back and run your fingers around the rectangular perimeter of the humidifier lid seal once more to 
confirm it has not become dislodged.
