● When the water is filled into the humidifier tank, do not exceed the maximum level
otherwise the water may be entered into the air hose and the breathing machine.
● The distilled water should be used; if there is no distilled water, the tap water should be heated to 100℃
and cooled to the room temperature and is filled into the humidifier tank.
;
1. Connect the heated humidifier and the breathing
machine together.
2. Take out the humidifier tank from the heated

2. Delay pressure rise
It will make the therapy start more comfortable to enable this function; the delay pressure rise time is the time
duration increased from the initial pressure gradually to the minimum pressure or the therapy pressure. The
delay pressure rise range is 0-45min, with a level for each 5min.
How to adjust the delay pressure rise level:
● Locate the cursor on the delay pressure rise button, press the knob to enter into the delay pressure rise
setting interface.
● Turn the knob to select the delay pressure rise time.
● Press the knob again to save the settings and return to the standby interface.
The heated humidifier is used for air heated humidification, making the therapy more comfortable. During
the therapy, if the user feels thirsty, the heated humidification function can be turned on; if there is
some water vapor in the user mask, the heated humidification level should be reduced. There are 0-6 heated
humidification levels, Level 0 is to turn off the heated humidification function, Level 1 is the lowest heated
humidification level and Level 6 is the highest heated humidification level. The heating coil settings (Levels
1-6) are equivalent to the following temperatures (with the accuracy of ±4℃) (Note: This temperatures are
measured without the humidifier tank):
Level 1 = about 33℃, Level 2 = about 35℃, Level 3 = about 40℃,Level 4= about 45℃, Level 5 = about
50℃, Level 6 = about 55℃
How to adjust the heated humidification level:
● Locate the cursor in the heated humidification option, press the knob to enter into the heated humidification
level setting interface.
● Turn the knob to select the heated humidification level, and then press the knob to save the settings and
