Quick Cleaning Instructions

IMPORTANT: 

1. Do not touch the tiny yellow mesh screen in the spray assembly!

2. After cleaning the nebulizer parts with water, ensure that they are thoroughly dried before storage or use. This minimizes the risk of bacterial or fungal growth.

1. Remove the medication cup from the main unit by sliding it forward. 

2. Soak the medication cup, mouthpiece, and masks in warm distilled water for 5 minutes. 

3. Shake out any remaining drops from the medication cup.

4.  Wipe all components with clean cloth and allow to air dry.

5. Charge fully until solid blue light is displayed. 

After each use (to clean):

1. Remove the mouthpiece and any accessories.

3. Run a full cycle through the nebulizer.
