Yet another Resmed S9 humidifier question

[Jason1975]

I just bought a brand new, Resmed S9 autoset from a guy. I didn't go through a DME or anything like that. Zero hours on it. I have an Aussie Heated hose I hooked up to it last night. My hose selection was set to "Standard". I turned off the "auto" mode for the humidifier and switched it to "manual" with a setting of 3. Woke up this morning, ice cold heating plate with zero water evaporation. I don't have a climateline hose so a lot of the suggestions to try on previous threads are out of the question. I was just wondering what else I could do other than turning up my humidity setting? Is there some other kind of setting that I have to use? I noticed the "Patient" setting. What exactly is that? Would I have anything to do with that considering I don't have a climateline hose? I'm sorry if these were already stated but I had looked at some previous threads and could not find an answer.

Another thing is what if I have a faulty unit? The guy I bought this from said to call him if anything was wrong with it but I want to make sure first. If it turns out I do need a replacement, would I have to go through this guys DME or could I just go through a manufacturer's warranty?

Another question I have is this. When you initially get the S9, the Climatel Control defaults to "Auto". That is only good if you have a climateline hose right? Why is this set to this setting when a slimline hose comes with it? Shouldn't it be set to "manual" or am I way off here? Can someone please explain.

Why not just turn up the setting until you get the level of humidification you need?

I guess I didn't phrase that question very good. I meant what else can I do if turning up the humidity setting doesn't work.

I strongly suggest that you wait an see the outcome of turning up the setting, before getting concerned about things that may not happen
