6.2 CLEANING THE DEVICE
1. Unplug the device, and wipe the outside of it with a cloth slightly dampened with water and a mild
detergent. Let the device dry completely before plugging in the power cord.
2. Inspect the device and all circuit parts for damage after cleaning. Replace any damaged parts.
6.3 CLEANING AND REPLACING THE FILTERS
Under normal usage, you should clean the gray foam filter at least once every two weeks and replace it with a
new one every six months. The white ultra-fine filter is disposable and should be replaced after 30 nights of use
or sooner if it appears dirty. DO NOT clean the ultra-fine filter.
1. Disconnect the device from the power source.
2. Remove the filter(s) from the enclosure by gently squeezing the filter in the center and pulling it
away from the device.
3. Examine the filter(s) for cleanliness and integrity.
4. Wash the gray foam filter in warm water with a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly to remove all
detergent residue. Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinstalling it. If the foam filter is torn,
replace it. Only Respironics-supplied filters should be used as replacement filters.
5. If the white ultra-fine filter is dirty or torn, replace it.
6. Reinstall the filters, inserting the white ultra-fine filter first if applicable.
