Your Breather will be exposed to a quantity of saliva during training. We recommend cleaning your device 1x daily on the days you use the device.
Do not wash it in the dishwasher and never use boiling water, as this voids your warranty.
CLEANING STEPS
- Add a few drops of dish soap in a bowl of warm water.
- Separate the body section of the device from the mouthpiece.
- Swirl both sections in a soapy water solution.
- Rinse well
- Shake off, then tap the device 3-5 times against your palm to dispel extra moisture.
- Set dials to 1 and 1, and inhale and exhale sharply to release moisture seal.
- Towel dry outer surfaces 8. Air dry, and store in a non-humid location.
DEEP CLEANING
