To avoid the possibility of electrical shocks and damage to the electrical system,
unplug the power cord from the host unit before cleaning the device.
Clean the front panel and the outside of the case with a soft cloth that has been
moistened with warm water or mild detergent. Before plugging in the power cord,
make sure that the device is completely dry.

replaced between each use by a different user.
When cleaning the tubing and mask, please refer to the Mask User Manual.

Remove the water tank, open the upper lid, and clean the internal walls of the
humidifier unit. Clean and rinse the water tank thoroughly.

Please ensure that the unit seals tightly after each cleaning.

component is contaminated or if the device is used in a clinic setting, the device
should be sterilized with any sanitizer gel available from a pharmacist.

sanitizer manufacturer’s instruction for the type of material being cleaned.
Always use clean water to completely rinse the device components that
