6 Detach the valve clip from the elbow (C-7).
7 Peel the valve from the valve clip (C-8).

Cleaning the Mask in the Home
Notes:
The mask and headgear can only be cleaned by handwashing.
The headgear may be washed without removing the headgear clips.
Do not soak any components of the mask.
WARNING
Do not use aromatic-based solutions or scented oils (eg, eucalyptus or
essential oils), bleach, alcohol or products that smell strongly (eg,
citrus) to clean any of the mask components. Residual vapours from
these solutions can be inhaled if not rinsed thoroughly. They may also
damage the mask, causing cracks.
Do not iron the headgear as the material is heat sensitive and will be
damaged.
Daily/After Each Use
To optimise the mask seal, facial oils should be removed from the cushion and
pillows before use.
Handwash the mask by gently rubbing in warm (30°C) water using mild soap
or diluted dishwashing detergent.
Clean the walls of the nasal pillows, including the space between the walls, of
any debris using a small brush.
Do not twist the valve during cleaning as this may damage or tear the valve
membrane or hinge. Take care when handling the valve.
