to disinfect the main unit. Warranty does not cover damage caused by
unapproved substances or methods.

• We make no claims regarding the efficacy of the listed chemicals or
methods as a means for controlling infection. For the method to control

• Never immerse any part of the main unit in liquids or allow liquid to enter
the interior.
• Any contact of disinfectants with connectors or metal parts may cause
corrosion.
• Do not pour or spray any liquid directly on the main unit or permit fluid to
seep into connections or openings.
• If you spill liquid on the main unit, disconnect the power supply, dry the
main unit, and contact your service personnel.
• Never use abrasive materials (such as steel wool or silver polish), or
erosive cleaners (such as acetone or acetone-based cleaners).
• Dilute and use the disinfectants according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
• Check the system after disinfection. If there is any sign of damage, remove
it from use.
