021. Precautions
Warning: This is not a medical device and is not considered life-sup-
port or life-sustaining equipment.
Warning signs on the product are designed to help users understand and
use this product correctly to prevent damage and a property loss.The
main warning signs and meanings are as follows:
▲The machine shall be placed indoors. Keep the room well-ventilated
and avoid direct sunlight. Keep the product more than 30 meters away
from the walls and other objects.
▲Do not place miscellaneous items and liquid containers on the machine
case.
▲It is prohibited to stack sundries at the ventilation hole on the back of
the machine to prevent clogging of intake and exhaust, which may lead to
excessive temperature and thus cause improper shutdown or a decrease
in oxygen concentration.
▲To avoid the machine being interfered by strong electromagnetic
environment or interfering with other electrical appliances, please keep it
at least 3 meters away from other household appliances when using.
▲Do not place the machine upside down or laid it horizontally.
▲If the voltage is unstable and exceeds the range of 220±15V, please
connect the voltage regulator before use.
▲Please use a safe and qualified socket and a terminal block with safety
electrician certification.
▲Oxygen is a combustion-supporting gas. Therefore, when using the
machine,do not smoke and keep away from the fire source to avoid a fire
hazard.
▲Do not turn on and off the machine too often. Turn off the machine for
3-5 minutes before restarting to maintain the normal service life of the
machine.

032. Working Principle
▲No oil or greasy substance should be used in any part of the machine.
▲Do not use the machine without an air filter.
▲Do not bend the oxygen-inhalation tube when using the machine,
otherwise, it will affect the normal output of oxygen.
▲Unauthorized personnel should not disassemble the cover.
▲Do not bend the oxygen-inhalation tube when using The machine
otherwise it will affect the normal output of oxygen.
▲Unauthorized personnel should not disassemble the cover.
Air enters the compressor after being filtered through the inlet filter device,
and is compressed into the molecular-sieve tower for oxygen-nitrogen
separation. Oxygen passes through the molecular-sieve tower and enters
the fine sieve tower, while nitrogen is adsorbed by the molecular sieve
and discharged into the atmosphere through the separation valve. With
the increase of oxygen concentration in the fine sieve tower, oxygen is
finally delivered to the user through the oxygen delivery pipe under the
control of the electronic flow control valve.

3. Product Description
4. List of Attachments
This product is applicable to AC 230V/50Hz(110V/60Hz) voltage. It is
equipped with a pure copper oil-free compressor and a high-quality
molecular sieve. It uses air as raw material to produce high-purity oxygen
through a new Pressure Swing Adsorption method (PSA) at room
temperature, which can be used for household supplementary oxygen
absorption.
The product is designed according to a standard higher than the standard
for household appliances. It is fitted with a large clear LED display screen.
With intelligent chips controlling the circuit, the machine has automatic
fault alarm function, timing function and overheating circuit protection
function. When the working temperature of the compressor is too high, it
will automatically stop working to better protect the safety of the compres-
sor and the whole machine.
This product is easy to operate, lightweight and portable. It is not only
suitable for home use, but also can be used in a car by using the automo-
bile power supply.Suitable for household oxygen supplement.

11. Maintenance and Repair
Clean the shell
The shell surface should be cleaned at least once a month. Cut off the
power supply and wipe it with a clean, soft, slightly wet cloth soaked in
disinfectant. Prevent the liquid from seeping into the interior of the
machine.
Clean or replace filter and filter pad
The white air filter at the back of the machine can reduce noise, keep the
dust out and purify air. Timely cleaning and replacement of the filter are of
great importance to protect the compressor and molecular sieve and
prolong the service life of the machine. So please clean or replace it in
time.
Do not operate the oxygen concentrator when the filter and filter pad
are not installed or are wet, which could cause permanent damage to the
machine.
Generally, filters and filter pads shall be cleaned or replaced every 100
hours.
Use of atomization function (NT-4/VH03 model)
1. Unscrew the nut on atomizing port anticlockwise before starting the
machine.
2. Connect one terminal of the Atomizing tube to the atomizing port.
Please use it as needed or under the guidance of a professional doctor,
and wear it as required.
3. Turn on the machine, press “ON/OFF” and confirm the gear is set to 1L,
and then the oxygen machine will be switched to atomization purpose.
※When the atomization is finished, press "ON/OFF" key to shut down the
machine. Remove the atomizer connecting pipe and install the atomiza-
tion port nut back in place and tighten it.

▲ Disassembly: Pull out the air inlet cover outward from the back of the
machine to remove the filter.
Whether to clean or replace the filter and filter cotton shall be determined
according to the actual use conditions. If the filter is dirty or clogged, it
should be cleaned or replaced immediately regardless of the using time.
Note: Filters and filter pads are consumables and need to be replaced
regularly.
▲ Cleaning: Clean with diluted detergent first and rinse with water. Install
it on the machine after it is completely dry.
Clean the oxygen inhaler and atomization components
Cleaning should be done after each use. The nasal suction heads on the
nasal cannula should be cleaned and disinfected after each use. Soak in
5% potassium permanganate solution for 5 minutes, and then clean it with
clean water; or wipe it with alcohol.
Fuse replacement
Unplug the power, use a slot screwdriver to pry open the fuse cap (as
shown in the diagram), remove the invalid glass fuse, and then install a
new one. Put the fuse cover back in place and tighten it.

Long-term idle
Make the following preparations if the machine shall be in long-term idle.
1. Cut off the power supply and put away the power cord.
2. Store the machine in a dry environment at room temperature. Do not
bend the tube.
3. Avoid direct sunlight and pollution.
4. Place the machine out of reach of infants and children.
Make the following preparations before using the machine which has
been in long-term idle.
1. Check the power cord for normal use.
2. Clean the oxygen tube and inhaler to avoid clogging or bending.

12. Trouble Shooting
※If the machine does not operate normally after following the above
methods, please call the customer service hotline for advice. Do not
disassemble the machine. 16No. Problems
Odor in the air stream When the machine is used for the first
several times, the connection tube and
other plastic parts will emit a smell,
which is normal.
This odor is a normal smell emitted by
silicone tubes and ABS plastic parts. It
has been tested to be non-toxic and
harmless. With the use of the machine,
it will gradually disappear.
The machine makes a
chuffing sound every few
seconds.
The machine runs normally
after starting up, but the flow
rate is small.
After powering on, the
indicator light is normal, but
the machine fails to work
properly (abnormal working
sound )
This is the sound of nitrogen discharge
when the machine is normal, which is
a sign of the good operation of the machine.
Low flow rate has been set. Turn up the level of flow rate.
Tube is twisted or blocked. Straighten the tube.
The connecting tube inside the machine
is disconnected or broken.
Disconnect the power supply and have it
repaired by professional maintenance
personnel.
Compressor failure Disconnect the power supply and have it
repaired by professional maintenance
personnel.
Ambient temperature is too high.
Self-protection program of the oil-free
compressor is activated.
The connecting tube inside the machine
is disconnected or broken.
This is a normal phenomenon. The
machine will restart automatically when
the temperature lowers down.
Disconnect the power supply and have it
repaired by professional maintenance
personnel.
