Cleaning your mask in the home
Your mask and headgear should only be gently handwashed.
Daily/After each use:
• Disassemble the mask components according to the disassembly
instructions.
• Thoroughly clean the separated mask components (excluding headgear),
by gently rubbing in warm (approximately 86°F/30°C) water using mild
soap.
• To optimize the mask seal, facial oils should be removed from the cushion
after use.
• Use a soft bristle brush to clean the vent.
• Inspect each component and if required, repeat washing until visually
clean.
• Rinse all components well with drinking quality water and allow to air dry
out of direct sunlight.
• When all components are dry, reassemble according to the reassembly
instructions.
Weekly:
• Handwash the headgear. It may be washed without being disassembled.
• Handwash the soft sleeves.
WARNING
•
Do not use aromatic-based solutions or scented oils (eg, eucalyptus
or essential oils), bleach, alcohol or products that smell strongly (eg,
citrus) to clean any of the mask components. Residual vapours from
these solutions can be inhaled if not rinsed thoroughly. They may also
damage the mask, causing cracks.
CAUTION
•
If any visible deterioration of a system component is apparent
(cracking, crazing, tears etc), the component should be discarded and
replaced.
• Avoid connecting flexible PVC products (eg, PVC tubing) directly
to any part of the mask. Flexible PVC contains elements that can
be detrimental to the materials of the mask, and may cause the
components to crack or break.
