Ozone Safety SoClean 3 uses Activated Oxygen, an effective, invisible disinfectant. Activated Oxygen, also known as ozone, contacts the CPAP equipment only, not the user, during the Disinfecting Cycle. SoClean 3 is designed to produce a sufficient level of ozone for disinfection of your CPAP equipment. The smell of ozone is detectable at low concentrations by some people and you may smell ozone briefly during the Disinfecting Cycle. The scent of ozone has the characteristic of a sweet chlorine-like smell.

DISINFECT CYCLE The SoClean 3 can be used daily to disinfect your CPAP equipment in approximately 1 hour with the Disinfect Cycle. CAUTION: The SoClean 3 device will not operate without the mask and hose present in the securely closed Chamber.
USING YOUR S OCLEAN 3 STEP 3: Push the Lid down until it latches shut.

Your SoClean 3 will automatically run after this Cycle Delay expires.
USING YOUR S OCLEAN 3 During the selected delay time, the Cycle Delay button and indicator(s) above the button will illuminate blue until the Disinfect Cycle starts.
