CLEANING
WARNING:
Follow the product manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to do so could cause personal injury or
equipment damage.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug the bed could cause injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Do not expose the unit to excessive moisture which would allow liquid to pool. Personal injury or
equipment damage could occur.
CAUTION:
Do not use harsh cleansers or detergents such as scouring pads and heavy-duty grease removers, or
solvents such as toluene, xylene, and acetone. Equipment damage could occur.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the metal platform is dry before placing the mattress back onto the bed. Failure to do so
could cause equipment damage.
If there is no visible soilage with possible body fluids, we recommend that you clean the unit with a mild
detergent and warm water. If disinfection is desired, you may use a combination cleanser/disinfectant as
explained in “Disinfecting” on page 6-2. In either case, make sure that the metal platform is dry before
placing the mattress back onto the bed.
STEAM CLEANING
Do not use any steam cleaning device on the unit. Excessive moisture can damage mechanisms in this
unit.
CLEANING HARD TO CLEAN SPOTS
To remove difficult spots or stains, we recommend that you use standard household cleansers and a soft
bristle brush. To loosen heavy, dried-on soil, you may first need to saturate the spot.
