Suspension framework
Simple Cleaning: The bed base can be damp wiped with non-corrosive household cleaning agents or washed with a
wet cloth. Make sure the bed base can dry well after. Cleaning with an alcohol-based disinfectant is also possible.
Disinfection
The mattress and suspension framework can be cleaned by steam vacuuming. This has to be done to disinfect and
before each reuse.
We recommend two disinfecting methods recognised by the Robert Koch Institute:
• the fractionated vacuum method (vacuum-steam vacuum method) up to a maximum temperature of 110° C.
• the steam flow method up to a temperature of 110° C.
Important note: Thermal treatment above 110° C leads to premature ageing and deforming of the plastic parts which is
why it shouldn’t be done. When using chemical disinfectants always follow the information from the manufacturer to
ensure they are suitable for plastics.
