Home Cleaning: Tubing; Caring For The Filters - Philips DreamStation 2 User Manual

Home cleaning: tubing

Hand wash the tubing, mask adapter (if included), and connectors (if included) before first
use and weekly. Discard and replace the tubing every 6 months.
1. Disconnect the flexible tubing from the device.
2. Gently wash the tubing, including any adapters or connectors, in a solution of warm
water and a mild liquid dish soap solution to adequately remove adhering substances
from the tube, adapters, and connectors. Be sure to clean the entire inner surface of the
tube by ensuring it is fully immersed in the detergent solution during gentle agitation by
hand.
3. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue from the tube, adapters, and connectors
with water and allow to air dry. Make sure all parts are dry before next use.
4. Visually inspect the tubing for cleanliness. Repeat the cleaning if not visually clean.
5. Inspect the tubing for damage or wear (cracking, tears, punctures, etc.). Discard and
replace if necessary.

Caring for the filters

Notes
• Only Philips supplied filters should be used as replacement filters.
• Replace the blue disposable, ultra-fine filter if it is damaged or has accumulated debris.
Under normal usage, you should rinse the grey reusable filter at least once every two weeks
and replace it with a new one every six months.
The disposable, ultra-fine filter should be replaced after 30 nights of use, or sooner, if it
appears clogged. DO NOT rinse the ultra-fine filter.
1. If the device is operating, press the Therapy button to stop the airflow. Unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet.
2. Remove the water tank to access the filter area, then remove the filter from the device.
Refer to the "Install/replace the air filters" section earlier in this manual.
3. Take the reusable filter to a sink and run warm tap water through the white middle
portion of the filter to rinse away any debris.
4. Shake the filter to remove as much water as possible.
5. Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinstalling it. If the filter is damaged, replace
it.
6. Reinstall the filter into the filter access area on the device.
