Clean with a damp cloth or sponge (be careful not to scratch the visor). Use lukewarm water and
mild detergent (neutral, pH 6-8) (e.g. washing-up liquid). Let dry.

Remarks, limitations
"Open" facepieces, such as helmets or hoods,
do not provide suffi cient protection in case of
breakdown or inferior output of the blower.
Therefore, devices of class TH1 must never be
used against carcinogenic, very poisonous or
radioactive gases and vapours.
For devices with combined fi lter apply the
relevant limitations of gas and particle fi lters.
