REATMENT
To stop your treatment at any time, remove your mask and press the Start/Stop key.
Alternatively, if your flow generator has the SmartStart function available, simply
remove your mask and treatment will end.
Some flow generators continue to blow air gently after you have stopped your
treatment. This can continue for up to one hour to assist the heater plate in cooling.
However, you can unplug the device from the power outlet at any time and allow the
heater plate to cool without airflow.

W HY IS THERE CONDENSATION IN MY MASK AND / OR AIR TUBING ?
You may experience excessive condensation in your mask or air tubing. This may occur
seasonally, particularly when the room temperature is low or cool air is circulating
around the tube. Turn the control dial down to a lower setting until the condensation
decreases.
You may have to adjust your humidity setting from season to season.
D
O I HAVE TO USE DISTILLED WATER IN THE WATER CHAMBER ?
Using distilled water will maximize the life of the water chamber and reduce mineral
deposits. See “Cleaning your HumidAire 3i” on page 11 for further details.
