6 Detach the valve clip from the elbow (C-7).

7Peel the valve from the valve clip (C-8).

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.

•Do not soak any components of the mask.

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 and pillows before use.

Handwash the mask by gently rubbing in warm (30°C) water using mild soap or diluted dishwashing detergent.

Clean the walls of the nasal pillows, including the space between the walls, of any debris using a small brush.

Do not twist the valve during cleaning as this may damage or tear the valve membrane or hinge. Take care when handling the valve.
