CARE, CLEANING & DISINFECTION
Clean and disinfect the bed before placing into service and before each re-use. To clean the
care bed, wipe the bed by hand with a damp cloth. Use suitable cleaning and conditioning
agents for wooden and synthetic furniture.
Household cleaners without ammonium or scouring agents are allowed, but should be
dermatologically tested.
Solvents and scouring agents are not permitted as they damage the various surfaces of the
care bed.
To disinfect: In the homepage of the Robert Koch Institute < http://www.rki.de > you will
find a list dated of 31.05.2007 of approved and generally accepted disinfection agents and
treatments and their use.
Before cleaning and disinfection the mains plug must be unplugged
and hung up safely. Plugs for the handset and the motors which are
inserted in the control unit MUST remain plugged in. This is necessary
to ensure water does not enter the control system.
The brakes must only be released to move the bed. Refer to the Safety

life.
The test according to the regulation EN 62353 contains the following minimum requirements:
• Visual check
• Measurement of leakage resistance

The service life of the care bed depends essentially upon the handling and servicing.
To guarantee safe operation, a visual and functional test including an electrical test must be
carried out at least once a year. For this purpose, proceed according to the technical safety
checklist as per regulation EN 62353 in section 10.2
If you have any doubts about the safety or functionality of the bed or
