Operating Instructions

1. Ensure the device is properly assembled and medication is loaded into the nebulizer cup.
2. Sit upright in a comfortable position.
3. Turn on the compressor unit by pressing the power switch. The compressor will begin to produce a fine mist.
4. If using the mouthpiece, place it between your teeth and seal your lips around it. Breathe slowly and deeply through your mouth.
5. If using a mask, place it over your nose and mouth, ensuring a snug fit. Breathe normally.

7. Once the treatment is complete, turn off the compressor unit and unplug it from the power outlet.

Note: The device may become warm during operation. This is normal. If it becomes excessively hot or emits unusual odors, discontinue use immediately and contact customer support.
