RE: Humidifier cleaning frequency
If you run the machine without the humidifier the air will just jet out the side instead of going through the hose. Unless you have the block off plate.
Using FlashAir W-03 SD card in machine. You can download your data through wifi with FlashPAP or Sleep Master utilities.

I wanted to learn Binary so I enrolled in Binary 101. I seemed to have missed the first four courses. Big Grinnie

Stick it to the man, Download OSCAR and take back control of your data!

Thanks Ian. Like I didn't have enough Honey-Do projects to tackle. Mornincoffee

That there is a design "bug" not a feature.

I dump the water daily. Have excellent tap water and good pipes. I refill with boiled tap water. I wash the humidifier tub, mask, and hose weekly. The hose I just rinse thoroughly. I air dry them all.
