3 Positioning the flow generator
• Place the flow generator on a table close to the head of your bed.
Position it carefully so that it could not be bumped from the table
during the night. Make sure that you could not trip on the power cord
when walking near the bed.
• Make sure that the area around the unit is kept dry and clean. If dust or
foreign particles are drawn into the unit it may affect treatment.
• Keep the unit well clear of articles such as clothing, bedding or towels.
If these obstruct the air inlet at the rear of the unit it may cause
overheating and damage the unit.
• Do not place the unit near a heater or a source of hot or cold air.
4 If using a water humidifier, do not position it so that water could spill from
the humidifier to the flow generator if the humidifier is bumped or over-
turned. Do not position a water humidifier on top of the flow generator.
CAUTION: If water is spilt inside the flow generator, turn off the main
switch at the rear and unplug the unit from the power
outlet. Return the unit to your equipment supplier for
checking.
