4.2
Cleaning and disinfecting
The facepiece must be cleaned after every use so that it is clean
before it is used by a different individual or, if individually assigned, as
often as necessary to keep in a sanitary condition. Facepieces that are
issued to more than one user must be cleaned before being worn by
different individuals.
The facepiece must be disinfected after every use to keep it in a
sanitary condition. It is fully in the user's responsibility to make sure
that the facepiece is totally free of contaminants after this treatment.
Never use a facepiece again, that has not been properly disinfected.
In case of doubts dispose of the facepiece in accordance with the local
regulations and use a new one.
WARNING
!
The facepiece body must be cleaned thoroughly so that no
residues from skin care products remain on it.
Otherwise the elasticity in the sealing area can be lost and the
facepiece will no longer fit correctly.
If this warning is not heeded, poisoning or death can result.
CAUTION
!
