Remove the filter, exhalation valve, inhalation valves, spectacle frame and speech diaphragm. Clean
the facepiece and the components with lukewarm water and mild detergent (neutral, pH 6-8) (e.g.
washing-up liquid). A brush can be used for stubborn dirt. Do not use solvents (e.g. acetone,
turpentine), hot water or bleaching agents (perborate, percarborate).
5.8 Disinfection
After cleaning, disinfect the mask with a disinfection solution and let it dry for a while. Finally,
reassemble the mask. See Service Table.
