Cleaning and Care
SHOCK HAZARD:
Unplug the bed from its power source before servicing or cleaning the
bed. Otherwise, a shock hazard exists. Refer to the
Resident
TM
LTC Bed
In-Service Manual and to specific sections in this manual for additional
precautions.
General Cleaning
Clean the bed frame with a lightly dampened cloth and ordinary disinfectants.
Do not subject any area to excessive amounts of liquid.
Steam Cleaning
Do not use any steam cleaning device on the Resident
TM
LTC bed. The
excessive moisture involved can damage mechanisms and components in the
bed.
Hard to Clean Spots
Use standard household cleaners and/or a soft bristle brush to remove
troublesome spots or stains. Heavy dried-on soil and excreta may first require
soaking to loosen.
CAUTION:
Do not use harsh cleaners, solvents, or detergents. Damage to the
equipment may occur.
Disinfection
Dilute disinfectants and/or germicides as specified on the manufacturer’s label.
Mattress Care
Clean the mattress fabric’s surface with neutral soap suds and lukewarm water.
Rinse with clear water, and allow the fabric to dry.
CAUTION:
Repeated soaking of the mattress materials will accelerate wear.
Improper cleaning procedures may void the warranty.
