If oxygen is used with this device, the oxygen flow must be turned off when the
device is not operating.
If oxygen has been left on, turn off the flow generator, then wait 30 minutes before
turning on the flow generator again.
Explanation: When the CPAP device is not in operation and the oxygen flow is
left on, oxygen delivered into the air delivery tubing may accumulate within the
CPAP machine enclosure and create a risk of fire. This applies to most types of
CPAP machines.

Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen should not be used while you are
smoking or in the presence of an open flame.
