!

Connect the power cord to the socket at the rear of the flow generator. Plug the other end of the power cord into a power outlet (D-1).

WARNING

Make sure the power cord and plug are in good condition and the equipment is not damaged.

The air filter cover protects the device in the event of accidental liquid spillage onto the device. Ensure that the air filter and air filter cover are fitted at all times.
