CLEANING EXTERIOR SURFACES
For each cleaning method, use the steps described in
Section 5.2.4
. Make sure each area
of the infuser is thoroughly clean and free from all visible soil before proceeding to the
next step.
Note: Do not pour or spray fluid on to the infuser.
Foam or Cotton-Tipped Swab
1. Wearing gloves, dip a swab in an approved
cleaning solution.
2. Press the tip against the solution container
to remove excess fluid.
3. Use the swab to clean hard to reach areas.
Change swabs as needed.
4. Use a cloth dampened in the cleaning
solution to remove any fiber residue left
behind by the cotton swab.
5. Continue swabbing until all visible soil,
organic dirt, or spilled fluid is completely
removed.
Non-Abrasive Brush
1. Wearing gloves, dampen the brush in the
cleaning solution and gently brush seams
and dried soil.
2. Use a cloth dampened in the cleaning
solution or cleaning wipe to clean any
residue left behind by the brush.
3. Continue wiping until all visible soil, organic
dirt, or spilled fluid is completely removed.
Follow these general instructions during cleaning and disinfection:
❏
Always wear gloves when using the cleaning solution.
❏
Use a spiral pattern when wiping, moving from the inner to outer edges to avoid
recontaminating the areas you just cleaned.
❏
Do not allow cleaning fluid to run into the internal parts of the infuser.
