Helpful Hints

Symptoms of Dryness Still Present
If you are still experiencing symptoms of dryness you may be breathing through
your mouth. Mouth breathing or mouth leaks cause drying and irritation of the
upper airway. If this is a problem, a full face mask or chin strap may help. Consult
your clinician or equipment supplier for details.
Nasal Infection or Illness
If you have a cold or nasal infection, be sure to clean the HumidAire 2iC
thoroughly each day. Do not put aromatic oils or decongestants into the water
chamber.
CAUTION
!
Do not use additives, in particular aromatic additives (eg, scented oils and
perfumes). They may reduce the humidification output of the device and/or
cause deterioration of the water chamber materials.
Scaly Mineral Deposits
You may notice a white powder or deposits in the water chamber base. These
are mineral deposits from the tap water. To remove these deposits, rub the
water chamber base gently using a mild washing detergent.
To prevent these deposits forming, fill the water chamber with demineralised
water.
