7.4 Cleaning the Meter
caring for the meter is easy: just keep it free of dust. If you need to clean it, follow these guidelines carefully
to help you get the best performance possible:
DO
• Ensure the meter is off
• Gently wipe the meter’s surface with a soft cloth slightly dampened with one of these cleaning solutions:
‑ 70 % isopropyl alcohol
‑ Mild dishwashing liquid mixed with water
‑ 10 % household bleach solution (1 part bleach plus 9 parts water) made the same day
• Squeeze out any excess liquid from the cloth before you wipe the meter surface
DO NOT
• Get any moisture in the code key slot or test strip slot
• Spray any cleaning solution directly onto the meter
• Put the meter under water or liquid
• Pour liquid into the meter
