Cleaning Your Mask At Home; Daily/After Each Use - ResMed AirFit N20 User Manual

•
Adjustment tips:
−
To resolve any leaks at the upper part of the mask,
adjust the upper headgear straps. For the lower part,
adjust the lower headgear straps. Adjust only enough
for a comfortable seal.
−
The upper strap adjustment is the key to seal and
comfort.
−
Do not overtighten the lower straps because they
mainly serve to keep the cushion in position.

Cleaning your mask at home

It is important to follow the steps below to get the best
performance out of your mask.
WARNING
•
As part of good hygiene, always follow cleaning
instructions and use a mild liquid detergent. Some
cleaning products may damage the mask, its parts and
their function, or leave harmful residual vapours that
could be inhaled if not rinsed thoroughly.
•
Regularly clean your mask and its components to
maintain the quality of your mask and to prevent the
growth of germs that can adversely affect your health.

apparent (cracking, crazing, tears etc), the component
should be discarded and replaced.
