Hello again.

I just hit the power button on top and leave it.  I don't unplug it or anything else.  I gleaned from this board that this is fine.

Good luck with your therapy!

I leave my machine on. Your question made me think!
However, it's plugged into a new surge suppressor.

I always use a surge suppressor to protect my machine. I want to keep my machine running and protected from electrical surges.

Same as Dave. I use a surge protector. I've never turned off my machine unless moving it for some reason.

Every morning, I just hit the power button.

You can do as others suggest, just leave it on or you can do as I do, set it to power saving mode.

I just leave mine on then I pick up the mask at night pop it on and breath, no hassle no crawling arround on the floor to plug in/switch in the machine. It works for me

If your machine was supposed to shut down completely after use they would have manufactured it to do so.

Press the power button as you are supposed to do.

If you should unplug the machine, the recommendation will be in the manual which I am fairly certain it is not.

I've never turned mine off. I just hit the stop button on top. I use a surge protector.

When you hit the stop button on top of the machine of ResMed machines they power down the motor to very low to dry and residual humidity out of the hose and that can run for quite some time. On my PR machine it just stops the air flow.

I know if you wanted to prolong the life of the power supply unit that turning it off at the surge protector would accomplish that.

There is enough ritual already incorporated into CPAP use without creating unnecessary steps. Laugh-a-lot
