Do not use the CleanSpace Respirator if there are any signs of severe mechanical damage.
IN THE EXTREMELY RARE CIRCUMSTANCE THAT THE BATTERY IS DAMAGED AND ELECTROLYTE COMES IN CONTACT WITH
EYES, FLUSH WITH WATER IMMEDIATELY AND SEEK URGENT MEDICAL ATTENTION.
14. Cleaning
It is recommended that the CleanSpace Respirator be cleaned after every use. The mask, Power Unit, neck support, and
harness should be cleaned separately. Remove the mask, neck support, and harness from the Power Unit before cleaning.
CleanSpace cleaning wipes are recommended as a simple and effective method of cleaning the Power Unit and mask.
CLEANING THE MASK
Before cleaning.
Half Mask: The exhalation valve cover must be removed. Locate the small slot under the
lower inside edge of the valve. Use a fingernail to unclip the cover and push away from
the mask. See Figure on the right.
Full Face Mask: The rain cover must be flipped up to reveal the exhalation valve leaf.
There are two methods for cleaning the mask.
1. CleanSpace Respirator Non-Alcohol Wipes for face piece
•
CleanSpace Cleaning Wipes are impregnated with benzalkonium chloride, a bactericidal solution ideally suited for silicone
face pieces.
•
To clean the exhalation valve, remove the valve cover as per the instructions above, then gently wipe the leaf and valve
seat. For Half Mask, once the mask is dry, replace the valve cover by aligning the pin opposite to the slot on the valve seat
and pushing down. The valve cover will gently snap back into place.
2. Hand wash in warm soapy water
•
Wash the mask thoroughly with a mild detergent in warm water at a temperature lower than 50°C.
•
A soft brush or sponge can be used to remove any stubborn dirt or grit.
•
To clean the exhalation valve, gently wash the warm water solution through the valve and use a sponge to gently clean
the valve seat
•
Rinse the mask and valve thoroughly in warm running water. IMPORTANT: If the mask is not rinsed thoroughly, residue
from cleaning solution may irritate the wearer’s skin or cause the valve to stick. For Half Mask, once the mask is dry,
replace the valve cover by aligning the pin opposite to the slot on the valve seat and pushing down. The valve cover will
gently snap back into place.
Drying the mask
After cleaning, allow the mask to air dry in a clean environment, with the valve facing upwards to prevent water pooling. The
mask can also be hand-dried with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Note: Do not dry the mask by exposing it directly to heat (e.g. hair dryers or heaters).
