I'm seeing a flashing blue snowflake icon in the display. Anyone know what it means?

I had to look that up on my own Aircurve. It means the blower is still running to dry the hose. Only ResMed does this. I'm not sure how long it runs but it does turn off. You can feel the flow that continues after you stop your machine.

from the Manual :

Humidifier cooling
If you're not part of the solution you're just scumming up the bottom of the beaker!

Get the Clinicians manual here : http://apneaboard.com/adjust-cpap-press ... tup-manual

Here is from the manual. It lasts 20 mins.

Therapy has stopped, but the device is still blowing air
Device is cooling down. Device blows a small amount of air in order to avoid
condensation in the air tubing. It will stop automatically after
20 minutes

Aha! Built in hose dryer. After washing hose (if one is into that),
Reattach to machine {with empty or freshly washed tank} hit power button twice,
and you get twenty minutes of gentle airflow to dry hose and tank.
I can do that.

What manual discusses this? I looked in the User Guide, disinfection guide and others posted on line. Am I missing a manual?

If you don't have the Clinical Manual here is a link. https://sleep.tnet.com/home/files/resme ... -guide.pdf
When it describes the icons it shows the snowflake as Humidifier Cooling. To get more specific you have to look to ResMed. Here is a link to Q&A's and at the bottom it describes the Warm-up Mode and what happens when therapy is not started. The cool down works the same when stopping therapy after use. http://www.resmed.com/us/en/consumer/ai ... -faqs.html

If you see it while you are still sleeping, it's a dream.

The cat heard it!
I had to hide my p10 under my pillow.
Tooth/claw holes would whistle, too.

My cat was drinking distilled water out of the plastic tray, by sticking her little paw in the water, and licking her paw.

I read it as "Iconic Flashing Snowflakes" and thought we had been invaded by Liberals again, my bad! Jim
