(1)The rate of oxygen flow, in liters per minute;
(2)The duration of oxygen flow, in minutes, for the replaceable generator element; and
(3)A warning that the replaceable generator element may be hot, unless the element construction is such that the surface temperature cannot exceed 100 degrees F. [Amdt. 25-41, 42 FR 36971, July 18, 1977, as amended at 79 FR 13519, Mar. 11, 2014]
