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.

If any visible deterioration of a system component is apparent (cracking,
crazing, tears etc), or, if after cleaning, any component remains unclean,
the component should be discarded and replaced.
