•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.

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.
