Changing The Filter - Beurer IH 58 Kids Mode D'emploi

6.5 Treatment
• Hold or place the baby or infant to be treated in the
most upright position possible. Do not use the device
when the baby or infant to be treated is lying down.
• When inhaling, older children and adults should sit
upright and relaxed at a table and not in an armchair to
avoid compressing the airways and therefore impairing
the effectiveness of the treatment.
• 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.
Depending on the battery charge status and accessory
used, the inhalation time stated may vary.
Important
Essential oils, cough syrups, gargling solutions and
drops to be used as a rub or in a steam bath are wholly
unsuitable for inhalation using a nebuliser. These addi-
tives are often viscous and can impair the correct func-
tioning of the device and therefore the effectiveness of
the application in the long term. For individuals with a
hypersensitive bronchial system, medications contain-
ing essential oils may under certain conditions cause an
acute bronchospasm (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 after the treat-
ment [3].
6.7 Cleaning
See "Cleaning and disinfection" on page 22.

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.
