2. Important Safety Information

• Always use distilled water in the humidifier water box. Tap water contains minerals that can build up and damage the humidifier or affect its performance.
• Do not overfill the water box. Ensure the water level does not exceed the 'MAX' fill line to prevent water from entering the CPAP machine.
• Ensure the water box is securely closed and properly inserted into the CPAP machine before operation.
• Never operate the CPAP machine with an empty water box if humidification is enabled, as this may damage the humidifier.
• Disconnect the CPAP machine from the power source before filling, emptying, or cleaning the water box.
• Keep the water box out of reach of children and pets.

3. Product Overview

The YUWELL CPAP Humidifier Water Box is a transparent container designed to hold water for humidification during CPAP therapy. It consists of a main reservoir and a removable lid.

Components:

• Water Reservoir: The main body of the water box, featuring 'MAX' and 'MIN' fill lines.
• Lid: The top cover of the water box, which includes the air inlet/outlet and a clear 'INLET' marking indicating the direction of air flow.

4. Setup Instructions

1. Prepare the Water Box: Ensure the water box is clean and dry before first use. Refer to the 'Maintenance and Cleaning' section for detailed instructions.
2. Fill with Water: Open the lid of the water box. Fill the reservoir with distilled water. Observe the 'MAX' and 'MIN' fill lines (as shown in Figure 2). Do not fill above the 'MAX' line.
3. Close the Lid: Securely close the lid onto the water reservoir. Ensure it clicks into place to prevent leaks.
4. Insert into CPAP Machine: Carefully insert the filled water box into the designated humidifier chamber of your compatible YUWELL CPAP machine. Ensure it is fully seated and locked into position according to your CPAP machine's manual.
5. Connect CPAP Machine: Connect the CPAP machine to the power source and turn it on.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the water box is properly installed and filled, the CPAP machine's humidifier function can be activated. Refer to your specific YUWELL CPAP machine's user manual for instructions on how to adjust humidifier settings (e.g., humidity level, heated hose settings).

• The humidifier will begin to heat the water and add moisture to the air delivered through your CPAP mask.
• Monitor the water level daily. Refill as needed, always using distilled water and adhering to the 'MAX' fill line.
• If you experience excessive condensation in your tubing or mask, consider lowering the humidity setting on your CPAP machine. If the air feels too dry, increase the setting.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning of the humidifier water box is crucial for hygiene and optimal performance.

Daily Cleaning:

1. Disconnect the CPAP machine from the power outlet.
2. Remove the water box from the CPAP machine.
3. Open the lid and discard any remaining water.
4. Rinse the water box and lid thoroughly with warm, distilled water.
5. Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or refilling.

Weekly Cleaning:

1. Perform the daily cleaning steps.
2. Wash the water box and lid in warm water using a mild dish soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
3. Alternatively, you can use a solution of one part white vinegar to three parts distilled water for soaking the water box for 30 minutes to remove mineral deposits. Rinse thoroughly afterwards.
4. Rinse all components thoroughly with distilled water to remove any soap or vinegar residue.
5. Allow all parts to air dry completely out of direct sunlight before reassembling or storing.

Note: Do not wash the water box in a dishwasher unless explicitly stated in your CPAP machine's manual, as high temperatures can damage the plastic.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your humidifier water box, consider the following:

• Water Leakage: Ensure the lid is securely closed and the water box is correctly seated in the CPAP machine. Check for any cracks or damage to the water box or its seal.
• Insufficient Humidification: Verify that the water box is filled to the appropriate level with distilled water. Check your CPAP machine's settings to ensure the humidifier is turned on and set to your desired level. Ensure the air inlet/outlet on the water box is clear.
• Mineral Buildup: If you notice white or colored deposits, this indicates mineral buildup, likely from using tap water. Perform a thorough cleaning with a vinegar solution as described in the 'Maintenance and Cleaning' section. Always use distilled water.
• Unusual Odor: A strange odor may indicate inadequate cleaning or bacterial growth. Clean the water box thoroughly. If the odor persists, consider replacing the water box.

For persistent issues, consult your CPAP machine's manual or contact YUWELL customer support.
