Wash all the components, including the headgear, by hand, using
a mild detergent, such as pure soap, in luke-warm water. Rinse
well and allow all parts of the mask system, including headgear,
to air dry out of direct sunlight.
It is important to always handwash the headgear. Also note that
the dye may run during the first wash.
CAUTION
Do not use chlorine-, alcohol-, or aromatic-based solutions,
bleach, scented oils, moisturising or antibacterial soaps to clean
the cushion, mask frame, forehead pads, headgear or air tubing.
These solutions may cause hardening and reduce the life of the
product.
Do not expose any part of the mask system or tubing to direct
sunlight, as it may deteriorate the product.

The Mirage Mask system, including the mask frame, forehead
assembly, nasal cushion, forehead pads and main air tubing
may be cleaned using the thermal disinfection process. It is
recommended that the temperature does not exceed 75°C.
Tests by ResMed have shown the mask materials can
withstand up to 20 cycles of thermal disinfection up to this
temperature. However, it is recommended that the mask
components are inspected after cleaning to ensure their
integrity.
