Fitting the mask

The mask frame and headgear should be assembled as described in section 3, Preparing for use.

To fit the mask to your face:

1Loosen the headgear straps and pull the headgear over your head. Make sure the straps are sufficiently loose so that the nasal cushion is not pulled against your nose.

2Position the headgear so that the bottom straps pass below your ears and the top center strap passes over the top center of your head.

Check that the headgear is not twisted at the back of your head.

3Positioning a Bubble Cushion™

If you are using a Bubble Cushion, the flow generator needs to be running to inflate the cushion before it can be securely positioned against your nose. This step is described in the following section, Daily operation.

Positioning a standard cushion

You do not need to inflate a standard cushion before positioning securely on your face. Simply move the mask slightly from side to side and up and down until a comfortable fit is achieved.

4With the mask in position, lie down in your normal sleeping position. Adjust the head- gear straps so that the mask sits comfortably with the forehead pads lightly touching your forehead.

Do not overtighten the straps.

To remove the mask

Stretch the headgear slightly and pull it up and over your head. Alternatively, release one or both

of the bottom straps and remove the headgear. You should not need to adjust the headgear again until it is disassembled, e.g. for weekly cleaning.
