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

To optimise the mask seal, facial oils should be removed from the cushion
before use.
Handwash the mask by gently rubbing in warm (30°C) water using mild soap
or diluted dishwashing detergent.
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.

Weekly

Handwash the headgear in warm (30°C) water using mild soap or diluted
dishwashing detergent. Rinse well and allow it to air dry out of direct
sunlight.
