• Never block the air intake grills on the side of the compressor
• Position the equipment on a clean surface – do not place on a carpet or any surface where fibres can be drawn into the unit when in use
• Always keep electrical leads away from sources of heat
• Do not use if either plug or power cable are damaged
• Always disconnect the nebuliser compressor (machine) from the electricity supply when cleaning and when not in use
