NOTICE
The most effective form of nebulisation is by using the mouthpiece.
Nebulisation using a mask is only recommended if it is not possible
to use a mouthpiece (e.g. for children who are not yet able to inhale
using a mouthpiece).
If you are using the adult mask
with the adult mask strap. There is also a strap for the children's
mask .

When using a mask to inhale, take care to ensure the mask fits well
and the eyes are unobstructed.
• Before the treatment, pull the atomiser upwards out of the hold-
er .

• Start the nebuliser using the On/Off control
• Spray mist pouring out of the atomiser indicates that the device
is operating correctly.
8.5 Treatment
• When inhaling, sit upright and relaxed at a table and not in an
armchair to avoid compressing the airways and therefore im-
pairing the effectiveness of the treatment.
• Breathe in the atomised medication deeply.
IMPORTANT
The device is not suitable for continuous operation; after 30 min-
utes of operation it must be switched off for 30 minutes.
NOTICE
During the treatment, hold the atomiser straight (vertically), other-
wise the atomisation will not work and faultless functionality is not
guaranteed.
Depending on the battery charge level and atomiser set used, the
inhalation time stated may vary.
IMPORTANT
Essential oils, cough syrups, gargling solutions and drops to be
used as a rub or in a steam bath are wholly unsuitable for inhalation
using a nebuliser. These additives are often viscous and can impair
the correct functioning of the device and therefore the effectiveness
of the application in the long term. For individuals with a hypersen-
sitive bronchial system, medications containing essential oils may
under certain conditions cause an acute bronchospasm (a sudden
cramp-like restriction of the bronchi with shortness of breath). Talk
to your doctor or pharmacist about this.
8.6 Stopping the inhalation
Once the mist is only coming out in an irregular flow or if the sound
changes when inhaling, you can stop the treatment.
• Switch off the nebuliser after treatment using the On/Off control
and disconnect it from the mains.

8.7 Cleaning
See section "Cleaning and maintenance".
9. CHANGING THE FILTER
In normal operating conditions, the air filter must be replaced after
approx. 200 operating hours or one year. Please check the air filter
regularly (after 10-12 nebulisation procedures). Replace the used
filter if it is very dirty or clogged. If the filter has become damp, it
must also be exchanged for a new filter.
IMPORTANT
• Do not attempt to clean the used filter and reuse it.
• Only use the manufacturer's original filter, otherwise your nebu-
liser may become damaged and sufficiently effective treatment
cannot be guaranteed.
• Do not repair or maintain the air filter while it is in use.
• Never operate the device without a filter.
To replace the filter, proceed as follows:
IMPORTANT
• First switch the device off and disconnect it from the mains.
• Allow the device to cool down.
1. Pull off the filter cap
NOTICE
If the filter remains in the device after the cap has been removed,
take the filter out of the device, e.g. with tweezers or similar.
2. Re-insert the filter cap
3. Ensure that it is securely in place.
