Cleaning the mask
The 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 can be washed without being disassembled.
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.
CAUTION
If any visible deterioration of a system component is apparent (cracking,
crazing, broken parts, tears etc), or, if after cleaning, any component
remains unclean, the component should be discarded and replaced.
