Remove air filter box at
rear of flow generator
Periodically
All items of the mask and air tubing system are subject to normal wear and tear
and may eventually need to be replaced. Check periodically for excessive wear in
these items.
1 When dirty, remove the headgear and wash it in warm water using a mild
detergent (about every two weeks). Rinse thoroughly and drip dry. Do not
use bleach.
2 Replace the forehead pads if they are dirty or worn (every three to six
months).
3 Clean the exterior of the flow generator when necessary with a damp cloth,
using a mild detergent. Make sure the flow generator is unplugged before
cleaning, and make sure it is dry before plugging in again.
Replacing the air filter
4 The air filter box at the rear of the
flow generator contains two replace-
able air filter strips. Check the air
filter strips periodically and replace
them when they become noticeably
dirty (about every six months, or
more often if your unit is in a dusty
environment).
To remove the air filter box:
• press down firmly on the
center of the filter box between
the two moulded arrows,
• slide out the box.
Detailed instructions supplied with the new filter strips describe how to
disassemble the filter and replace the strips.
CAUTION: • Do not immerse the unit or power cord in water as serious
damage could result.
• Do not use bleach, alcohol-based or chlorine-based
solutions to clean the flow generator, nasal cushion, mask
or air tubing. These solutions may cause hardening and
reduce the life of the products.
• Do not wash or dry the mask frame in a temperature
above 80°C (175°F). Exposure to higher temperatures
may reduce the life of the product.
