All you can do is try boiling the A11 tank and see what happens.

I washed my airsense 10 tub in the top rack, and it worked alright. Didn't know you were suppose to have it on delicate cycle, or is the 11 different?

RE: Airsense 11 Water Chambers
For my AS10, I have the original and one 'cleanable' (dishwasher safe) version and I always just hand wash both. I just fill the sink with warm water and a little Dawn and let soak around 15 minutes and give it a good cleaning with a small soft brush. Too simple.
The little manual with the AS10 cleanable tank said a max of 65° C which converts to roughly 149° F. So, it seems they rated the same.
RE: Airsense 11 Water Chambers
Wow seems crazy to want to boil the tub, I have used tub for over a year every day and never did Anything other than use a paper tower to wipe away minerals, no vinegar no hot water washing. Why would anyone think to even do such a thing?

I agree, I don't even use distilled water, don't empty in morning and just dump and refill at bedtime usually, sometimes just top off water in reservoir. I think the hose is more likely to have bacteria issues.
RE: Airsense 11 Water Chambers
I'm not going to advocate one way or another, but you'd be surprised at the amount of critters that will eventually build up in these tanks. Certainly doesn't hurt to wash the tank, tube, and mask at reasonable intervals. I find the tank is the easiest of all to clean, Especially when you remove the top, so while you're at it, why not? Takes an extra 60 seconds.
