gas-sterilise it nor use cleaning and disinfecting methods which might cause moisture to
form inside the unit.
The unit can be deterged with a soft cloth or gauze soaked in an enzymatic substance or an
other EPA registered disinfecting media. Make sure that liquid substances do not drip inside
the unit, while cleaning.
Dry with a soft cloth, clean and dry. Abrasive materials are not to be used.
