3.2 Filling and connecting the CLICK 2
Before using for the first time
Before using for the first time, rinse the humidifier with copious amounts of water
(see "5. Hygienic preparation" on page 25).
Filling the humidifier
Caution!
•
Do not fill the humidifier when it is connected to the therapy unit
and do not overfill above the maximum level, otherwise water
may enter the therapy unit. This can damage the unit.
•
Do not fill the humidifier with hot water as this might damage the
housing and heating rod resulting in incorrect operation and in-
sufficient therapy delivery.
Note
•
The use of aromatic additives, such as eucalyptus oil, may dam-
age the plastic parts of the humidifier.

Set up of equipment
1. Open the filling cap of the humidifier.
2. Fill the humidifier up to the mark with distilled
water. If no distilled water is available, low calci-
um boiled water can be used instead (but not as
a rule!). Check that the heater rod does not scale
up (see "5.4 Descaling CLICK 2" on page 30).
3. Firmly close the humidifier with the filling cap.
4. After filling, check that the humidifier is not
leaking. Run your finger over the bottom of the
humidifier or place the humidifier on a piece of
kitchen paper. Any escaping water will then be
easy to spot.
