• Check the electric socket with another appliance or try another electric socket

• Check electric cable for damage

• The Ventalair

MAX is fitted with a thermal fuse which cannot be checked and is not replaceable

• If still not operational return for service

• Replace your jet nebuliser bowl every 6 months if it is used regularly.

• Check that the centre jet (8b) is in place.

• Check that the hole in the jet (8b) is not blocked with dry medication. Soak the jet nebuliser bowl in

water and try again. Do not tamper with the holes, as this will alter the particle size of your medication.

• Check inlet filter (3) for blockage and change if the filter is discoloured

• Check the tubing for leaks, cracks or kinking

completion, operate pump to pass air through the tube until dry
