Make sure that you are using an appropriate filter:
o
A (brown): used for most organic chemicals;
o
B (grey): used for most inorganic chemicals;
o
P (white): used only for liquid or powder chemicals;

Before using the mask check the tightness and sealing of it. Check the mask for
damages and make sure that the outer valve is clean and can be closed without any
problems.

Write down the date of the last usage of the filter. The A2P2 filter must be replaced once a
month nevertheless how many times it was used. Filter B must be replaced after every single
use! The filter must be used within 6 months after the packaging of the filter was opened.
