Decontaminating
Before the disinfection process, each component must be cleaned and rinsed so no visible
contamination is present.

Clean all components with a soft bristled brush for one minute while soaking in detergent
solution (see table below). Pay particular attention to all crevices and cavities.
2.
Thoroughly rinse each component according to the detergent manufacturer's instructions.
