Warning:

To avoid electrical shock, always unplug the power cord from the wall outlet or

DC power source before cleaning the device.

Caution:

Do not immerse the device in liquid or allow any liquid to enter the enclosure,

inlet filter, or any opening.

1. Unplug the device, and wipe the outside of the device with a cloth slightly dampened with water

and a mild detergent. Let the device dry completely before plugging in the power cord.

2. Inspect the device and all circuit parts for damage after cleaning. Replace any damaged parts.

Caution:

Operating the device with a dirty filter may keep the system from working

properly and may damage the device.

Under normal usage, you should clean the gray foam filter at least once every two weeks and replace it

with a new one every six months. The white ultra-fine filter is disposable and should be replaced after

30 nights of use or sooner if it appears dirty. DO NOT clean the ultra-fine filter.

Caution:

Dirty inlet filters may cause high operating temperatures that may affect device

performance. Regularly examine the inlet filters as needed for integrity and

cleanliness.

1. If the device is operating, stop the airflow by pressing the

button.

Disconnect the device from the power source.

2. Remove the filter(s) from the enclosure by gently squeezing the filter in

the center and pulling it away from the device, as shown in Figure 7–1.

3. Examine the filter(s) for cleanliness and integrity.
4. Wash the gray foam filter in warm water with a mild detergent. Rinse

thoroughly to remove all detergent residue. Allow the filter to air dry

completely before reinstalling it. If the foam filter is torn, replace it.

(Only Respironics-supplied filters should be used as replacement filters.)

5. If the white ultra-fine filter is dirty or torn, replace it.
6. Reinstall the filters, inserting the white ultra-fine filter first if applicable, as

shown in Figure 7–2.

Caution:

Never install a wet filter into the device. It is recommended that

you clean the filter in the morning and alternate using the two

foam filters provided with the system to ensure sufficient drying

time for the cleaned filter.
