BED OPERATION
A Word About Optional Bed Rails
Optional bed rails are sold separately and come with an instruction sheet. Do not install the bed
rails until you have read and understand all instructions. Variations in bed side rail design and
thickness, size or density of the mattress could cause entrapment. Use ONLY authorized
Medline products. Improper use of some bed accessories such as bed rails can cause patient
injury or death.

Cleaning the Bed
Follow these steps for keeping your Medline bed in clean condition:
1. Unplug the full or semi-electric bed before cleaning.
2. Medline beds should
not
be washed down with a pressure washers or steam cleaner. Doing so
can result in problems with the electrical system.
3. Inspect bed components for any exposed metal. To prevent rusting, Medline recommends
covering exposed metal areas with touch-up paint. Contact Medline Bed Technical Support for
paint.
4. Electrical components (motor, junction box, and pendant which are rated as IP66), frame and
head board/foot boards are washable with standard water pressure.
5. The headboard and footboard should be disconnected from the frame before cleaning. When
cleaning the headboard and footboard, stand them in an upright position, and use a mild
detergent and soft cloth. Gently scrub all exterior surfaces. The headboard and footboard can be
rinsed thoroughly with warm water. Do not exceed a water temperature of 110 degrees F.
6. Thoroughly dry all bed parts and components.
7. Disassemble the headspring and footspring assemblies before washing. When cleaning
headspring and foot spring assemblies, stand the assemblies on edge and wash with a mild
detergent. Using a soft sponge or brush, scrub all exterior surfaces. Rinse thoroughly, then
completely towel dry all components.
8. To disinfect the bed, wipe down all surfaces of the bed with a disinfectant and allow to dry
completely.
