lukewarm, soapy water. Use pure soap
(an example of pure soap is Dove

unscented; made by Unilever). Rinse the
components well and allow them to air dry
out of direct sunlight.

reduce the life of the product.
• Do not expose any part of the mask
system or tubing to direct sunlight as
it may deteriorate.

component is apparent (cracking,
crazing, tears etc), the mask
