stable surface. Be sure you can easily reach the 

controls when seated. Do not use this device on the 

floor. 

3.  With the power switch in the O (OFF) position, plug 

the power cord into an appropriate electrical wall 

outlet. 

4.  Connect one end of the tubing to the compressor 

air-outlet connector. 

5.  Assemble the nebulizer cup and add indicated 

medication to the nebulizer’s cup before use. 

6.  Attach the other end of the tubing into the air-inlet 

connector founded at the bottom of the nebulizer cup.

this occur, turn the I/O (ON/OFF) switch to the O 

(OFF) position and allow the motor to cool down for 

approximately 30 minutes before turn it on again. 

2. If the overload protector shuts off the motor frequently, 

you may have an unstable voltage situation.
