before your first use and at least once a week
using the following procedure:

10 minutes into continuously boiling water.

Afterwards, put the mouthpiece on a fresh
paper towel and let it air dry.
3.
Reassemble the mouthpiece on the
measuring tube.

Alternatively, you can disinfect the mouthpiece by putting it into commonly
available disinfecting solutions. Please carefully follow the instructions for the
disinfecting solution! Make sure that it is suitable for a mouthpiece.
