Cleaning and Storage

If the respirator is to be used for more than one shift it should

be cleaned at the end of each shift and stored between shifts

in the original packaging. To clean the respirator, the faceseal

should be wiped with a cloth moistened in warm soapy water

(the water temperature should be below 40°C) and dried at room

temperature. The product MUST NOT be immersed in water

during cleaning. Alternatively, faceseal may be cleaned using the

3M™ 105 Face Seal Cleaner. Always check that the product has

not exceeded the use by date before use.

Respiratory Protection is only effective if it is correctly selected,

fitted and worn throughout the time when the wearer is exposed

to respiratory contaminants.

3M offers advice on the selection of products, and training in the

correct fitting and usage.
