Removing the Mask
To remove the Mirage Liberty:
1 Detach the elbow by squeezing the elbow on both sides and pulling it away
from the frame (C-1).
2 Unclip both of the lower headgear clips (C-2) and remove the mask.
Note: You can detach the elbow from the mask frame and leave the mask on
your face. You may prefer to do this when briefly stopping therapy, for
example to go to the bathroom.
Disassembling the Mask
See section C on the illustrations sheet.
1 Unclip the upper headgear clips from the frame (C-3).
2 Carefully pull the mouth cushion away from the frame (C-4).
3 Push the two nasal pillows down through the mouth cushion (C-5).
4 Remove the ports cap (C-6).
5 Detach the inlet tube assembly from the elbow.
Note: The swivel does not need to be disconnected from the inlet tube.
6 Detach the valve clip from the elbow (C-7).
7 Peel the valve from the valve clip (C-8).
Note: Do not pull on the valve flap, as this may cause it to tear.
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.

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.
