WARNING
•
Always unplug the support surface power cord before cleaning or disinfecting to avoid the risk of shock.
•
Do not immerse the support surface or foot box in cleaning or disinfectant solutions.
•
Do not allow fluid to pool on the support surface. Fluids may cause degradation of components and may cause
unpredictable safety and performance of this product.
•
Always inspect the support surface covers (top and bottom) for tears, punctures, excessive wear, and misaligned
zippers as you clean the covers. If the cover is compromised, remove the support surface from service immediately
and replace the cover to prevent cross-contamination.
•
Always perform preventive maintenance based on the usage level of the product. An increase in usage which may
include more frequent cleaning and disinfection, may adversely affect the life of the support surface.
•
Always make sure that you wipe each product with clean water and thoroughly dry each product after cleaning or
disinfecting. Some cleaning and disinfecting agents are corrosive in nature and may cause damage to the product if
you use them improperly. If you do not properly rinse and dry the product, a corrosive residue may be left on the
surface of the product that could cause premature degradation of critical components. Failure to follow these
cleaning or disinfecting instructions may void your warranty.
