Figure 10: Maximum reservoir water level

4.3.3. Remove the yellow plug from the oxygen outlet port using a flat-headed

screwdriver. Screw the oxygen line adapter into the hole. Attach the oxygen gas
outlet tube to the outlet at the top of the H-Genie

®

. Ensure the other end is

attached to the rear of the fume hood cabinet to ensure the tube does not move
when oxygen gas is released.
