Cleaning your mask in your home
Your mask and headgear should only be handwashed by gently rubbing
in warm (approximately 30°C) water using mild soap. All components
should be rinsed well with drinking quality water and allowed to air dry
out of direct sunlight.
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.
CAUTION
• If any visible deterioration of a system component is apparent
(cracking, crazing, tears or cushion damage), the component
should be discarded and replaced.
• Avoid connecting flexible PVC products (eg, PVC tubing)
directly to any part of the mask. Flexible PVC contains
elements that can be detrimental to the materials of the mask,
and may cause the components to crack or break.
Daily/After each use:
• To optimise the mask seal, facial oils should be removed from the
cushion after use.
• Handwash the separated mask components (excluding headgear).
• If the vent requires cleaning use a soft bristle brush.
Weekly:
• Handwash the headgear. It may be washed without being
disassembled.
