Changing The Filter - Beurer IH 58 Mode D'emploi

6.5 Treatment
• When inhaling, sit upright and relaxed at a table and
not in an armchair to avoid compressing the airways
and therefore impairing the effectiveness of the treat-
ment.
• Breathe in the atomised medication deeply.
Important
The device is not suitable for continuous operation; after
30 minutes of operation it must be switched off for 30
minutes.
Note
During the treatment, hold the atomiser straight (vertical-
ly), otherwise the atomisation will not work and faultless
functionality is not guaranteed.
Important
Essential oils, cough syrups, gargling solutions and drops
to be used as a rub or in a steam bath are wholly unsuit-
able for inhalation using a nebuliser. These additions are
often viscous and can impair the correct functioning of
the device and therefore the effectiveness of the applica-
tion in the long-term. For individuals with a hypersensitive
bronchial system, medications containing essential oils
may under certain conditions cause an acute bronchos-
pasm (a sudden cramp-like restriction of the bronchi with
shortness of breath). Consult your doctor or pharmacist
in relation to this matter.
6.6 Stopping inhalation
Once the mist is only coming out in an irregular flow or
if the sound changes when inhaling, you can stop the
treatment.
• Switch off the nebuliser after treatment using the On/
Off switch [1] and disconnect it from the mains.
• Place the atomiser [7] back in its holder [3] after the
treatment.
6.7 Cleaning
See "Cleaning and disinfection" on page 20.

7. Changing the filter

In normal operating conditions, the air filter must be re-
placed after approx. 100 operating hours or one year.
Please check the air filter regularly (after 10–12 nebu-
lisation procedures). Replace the used filter if it is very
dirty or clogged. If the filter has become damp, it must
also be exchanged for a new filter.
Important
• Do not attempt to clean the used filter and reuse it.
• Only use the manufacturer's original filter, otherwise
your nebuliser may become damaged and sufficiently
effective treatment cannot be guaranteed.
• Do not repair or maintain the air filter while it is in use.
• Never operate the device without a filter.
To replace the filter, proceed as follows:
Important
• First switch the device off and disconnect it from the
mains.
• Allow the device to cool down.
1. Pull off the filter cap [4]
towards the front.
Note
If the filter remains in the device after the cap has been
removed, take the filter out of the device, e.g. with twee-
zers or similar.
2. Re-insert the filter cap [4] with a new filter.
3. Ensure that it is securely in place.
