5.2 Cleaning CPAP 20e
Cleaning the breathing hose
1. Detach the breathing hose from the unit and from the exhalation system.
2. Clean the corrugated hose so no residues remain with a small amount of
detergent in warm water. Rinse the inside of the hose thoroughly.
3. Then rinse thoroughly both inside and outside using clean, warm water.
Caution!
4. Shake the hose thoroughly.
5. Hang up the hose and allow to drip to prevent moisture from getting into the
CPAP 20e.
The breathing hose is dried completely with the help of the CPAP 20e .
6. Plug the breathing hose into the unit outlet.
7. To start the drying process, press at the same time the softstart button
(CPAP 20e switched off) and the on/off switch.
The unit will now switch on and dry the breathing hose (this takes 30 min-
utes). The remaining time is displayed. It switches off automatically at the end
of the drying process.
You can interrupt the process at any time by pressing the on/off switch.
If the breathing hose is still damp in places after drying, start the drying
process again.
