In morning I shut down machine. No way! Really????? I assumed run hours are hours the motor is running. And the motor isn't running when it's just heating up (or with the ResMed, also cooling down).

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I believe Dave has it right on the run hours. I preheat only if I have a cold as it helps with the congestion. Plus it just feels better than cold air.
