Cleaning the Mask in the Home

Notes:
• The mask and headgear can only be cleaned by handwashing.
•
The headgear may be washed without removing the headgear clips.
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.
•
Do not iron the headgear as the material is heat sensitive and will be
damaged.

Daily/After Each Use

before use.

or diluted dishwashing detergent.
Do not twist the valve during cleaning as this may damage or tear the valve
membrane or hinge. Take care when handling the valve.
If the vent requires cleaning use a soft bristle brush.
Rinse all components well with drinking quality water and allow them to air dry
out of direct sunlight. Do not soak the mask.
