Cleaning and Maintenance

You should regularly carry out the cleaning and maintenance described in this section.

Daily Cleaning

Mask

Clean the mask according to the instructions supplied with the mask.

Air tubing

Disconnect the air tubing from the VPAP unit (and humidifier, if used) and hang the tubing and mask in a clean, dry place until next use.

CAUTION

! Do not hang the air tubing in direct sunlight as the tubing may harden over time and eventually crack.

Humidifier

If you are using a humidifier, clean it according to the instructions in the humidifier user manual.

Weekly Cleaning

1.Remove the air tubing from the VPAP unit and the mask.

2.Wash the air tubing in warm water using mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly, hang and allow to dry.

3.Before next use, assemble the mask and headgear according to the user instructions.

4.Reconnect the air tubing to the air outlet and mask.

CAUTION

! • Do not use bleach, chlorine-, alcohol- or aromatic-based solutions (including all scented oils), moisturising or antibacterial soaps to clean the air tubing or the VPAP. These solutions may cause hardening and reduce the life of the product.

• Do not hang the air tubing in direct sunlight as the tubing may harden over time and eventually crack.

Periodic Cleaning

1.Clean the exterior of the VPAP unit with a damp cloth and mild liquid soap.

2.Inspect the air filter to check if it is blocked by dirt or contains holes. See “Replacing the Air Filter” on page 18.
