Follow the cleaning product manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to do so could cause injury or
equipment damage.
WARNING:
Unplug the unit from its power source. Failure to do so could cause injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Do not expose the unit to excessive moisture that would allow for liquid pooling. Injury or
equipment damage could occur.
CAUTION:
Do not use harsh cleansers/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 sleep deck 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
