1. Check the Entrainment Valve. With the airflow turned
off, verify that the entrainment valve flapper is lying flat
so that room air can flow through the large opening in
the valve. Turn the airflow on; the flapper should now
cover the large opening, and air from the CPAP or bi-level
device should flow into the mask. If the flapper does not
close or does not function properly, replace the mask.
2.
Adjust the StabilitySelector™ of the Support Arm to its
uppermost position. Hold the mask cushion gently over your nose. Slide the
headgear over your head. You may want to disconnect one of the swivel clips
before putting on the headgear. Reconnect the swivel clip after you have the
headgear in position.
3. Connect the flexible tubing (included with your CPAP or bi-level device) to the swivel on the mask.
4. Turn on the airflow.
5. Lie down on your back and breathe normally. You may need to readjust the forehead arm to minimize leaks.
6. Loosen the EZPeel™ tabs to unhook the straps and gradually tighten them until the mask has minimal
leaks and fits comfortably. Do not overtighten the headgear! Overtightening can irritate your face, cause or
worsen leaks, or damage the mask.

If you need to replace the forehead pad, contact your home care provider to reorder. Follow the
instructions below.
Step 1 Remove the pad. Slide the pad outward toward
one edge of the forehead support, and lift it
upward so the connection track on that side is
released from the plastic connection slot. Next,
pull the pad in the opposite direction to release
the connection track on the other side from its
connection slot.
Step 2 Install the new pad. Slide one of the connection
tracks on the new pad into its connection slot
on the support. Pull the pad in the opposite direction (toward the center) and slide the other
connection track into its connection slot to lock the pad into place.
