cleaners that might leak through openings and cracks and get on electrical components, or that may
contain solvents that will harm coatings. DO NOT USE chlorine-based bleaches or abrasives, as they
will damage the painted interior.
3.
Rinse with distilled water and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Special care should be taken when cleaning around the sensing heads to prevent damage.

autoclaveable. DO NOT USE spray disinfectants that might leak through openings and cracks and get
on electrical components, or that may contain solvents, corrosives, or abrasives that will harm the
painted coatings. Special care should be taken when cleaning around sensing heads to prevent
damage and around the door gasket so as not to impair the positive seal.
