Solution
If the vent requires cleaning, use a soft
bristle brush.
Remove the elbow from the mask and
then reassemble according to the
instructions.
Ensure that the swivel ring on the elbow
has not been inserted too far into the
cushion.
Refit or reposition your mask.
Readjust the back strap to bring the mask
closer to the face and improve your seal.
Check that your mask is assembled
correctly.
