READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE
OPERATING THIS PRODUCT.
WARNING
The use of oxygen therapy requires that special care be
taken to reduce the risk of fire. Any materials that will
burn in air, and some that will not, are easily ignited and
burn rapidly in high concentrations of oxygen. For safety
concerns, it is necessary that all sources of ignition be kept
away from the product and preferably out of the room in
which it is being used. NO SMOKING signs should be
prominently displayed.
A spontaneous and violent ignition may occur if oil, grease or
greasy substances come in contact with oxygen under pressure.
These substances MUST be kept away from the oxygen concen-
trator, tubing and connections, and all other oxygen equipment.
DO NOT use any lubricants unless recommended by Invacare.
For optimum performance, Invacare recommends that each
concentrator be on and running for a minimum of 30 minutes at
a time. Shorter periods of operation may reduce maximum
product life. If it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working
properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water,
call Qualified Service Personnel for examination and repair.
Keep the cord away from HEATED or HOT surfaces.
NEVER drop or insert any object into any opening.
NEVER block the air openings of the product or place it on a
soft surface, such as a bed or couch, where the air opening
may be blocked. Keep the openings free from lint, hair and
the like. Fill humidifier with water to the level shown by the
manufacturer. DO NOT overfill.
