WARNING

! Beware of electric shock. Do not immerse the flow generator or power cord in water. Always unplug the flow generator before cleaning and be sure that it is dry before reconnecting.

! Do not attempt to open the VPAP. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repairs and internal servicing should only be performed by an authorised service agent.

Replacing the Air Filter

Please refer to the illustrations in section A of the illustration sheet.

Inspect the air filter every month to check if it is blocked by dirt or contains holes. With normal use of a VPAP unit, the air filter needs to be replaced every six months (or more often if your unit is in a dusty environment). To replace the air filter:

1.Remove the air filter cover at the back of the VPAP (I-1).

2.Remove and discard the old air filter.

3.Insert a new filter with the blue tinted side facing out (I-2).

4.Replace the air filter cover (I-3).

WARNING

! Do not wash the air filter. The air filter is not washable or reusable.

Note: The air filter should be inspected once a month.
