headgear is clean and detergent free. Wash and rinse again if
necessary.

Troubleshooting (AirFit F20)
Problem/possible cause
Mask is uncomfortable.
Headgear straps are too tight.
Mask could be the wrong size.
Mask is too noisy.
Elbow incorrectly installed or
incorrect assembly of the mask
system.
Vent is dirty.
Solution
The cushion membrane is designed to inflate
against your face to provide a comfortable seal with
low headgear tension. Adjust straps evenly. Ensure
that the headgear straps are not too tight and that
the cushion is not creased.
Talk to your clinician to have your face size checked
against F20 fitting template. Note that sizing across
different masks is not always the same.
Remove the elbow from your mask, then
reassemble according to the instructions. Check
that the mask is correctly assembled according to
the instructions.
Use a soft bristle brush to clean the vent.
