Cleaning Guidance
• Vernacare recommends that the outside of the machine, the underside of the lid and the
top cover are cleaned daily.
• Opening and closing the lid to clean the top cover and underside of the lid will cause a
cycle to run if the machine has auto-start enabled; this can be considered part of the
normal cleaning process.
• There is no need to manually clean inside the hopper.
• Cleaning products should be chosen according to local guidance and protocols.
• Do not use abrasive materials or organic solvents.
• If the machine is not used for a period of 7 days we recommend running a cycle with the
machine empty.
Note
If disinfection is required refer to the local infection control policy. ICNA guidelines (2000)
recommend the use of powder-free vinyl examination gloves for general cleaning tasks.
A plastic apron should be used to prevent soiling of uniform.
RULES
ONLY load a maximum of one (1) Vernacare single use disposable product per cycle.
