7.1 Cleaning and care
Steel tubes and vanished metal parts:
Please use a wet wiper and a standard, mild household deter-
gent for the cleaning and care of these surfaces.
Wooden-, decorative-, and plastic elements:
All standard furniture cleaners and cleaning detergents can be
used. The cleaning of the plastic elements using a wet wiper
without detergent additives should generally be sufficient. For
the care of the plastic surfaces you should use a product, which
is specifically suitable for plastics.
Drive:
In order to prevent the intrusion of moisture into the drive, it is
recommended to use a slightly moist wiper to clean the housing
of the drive.
Spring systems ripolux, ripoplan and ripolux neo:
Use a moist wiper without adding any detergents or, if deemed
necessary, a detergent which is exclusively suitable for plastics
to clean the supporting- and spring elements as well as the pla-
stic surfaces. In case of heavy contamination, just remove the
spring elements from the supporting elements . The dismounted
plastics elements can be rinsed or spray-washed with hot water
to get them clean. As regards the disinfection, the components
should be sprayed with a detergent suitable for plastics. Most of
the moisture drips off the plastic surface by slightly shaking it,
while the rest will dry on its own within a short time. Remount
the elements after they have completely dried. If required you
can also remove each of the individual lying surface elements
from the frame to clean them. Remount the elements after they
