operation.
CAUTION: Abaxis recommends only the cleaning methods
described in this section. If for some reason
another method is needed, contact Abaxis
Technical Support beforehand at

ommended cleaning methods.

10.1 Cleaning the Analyzer

Clean the analyzer's external case and display at least weekly, as
described below.
10.1.1 Cleaning the Case
Clean the analyzer with a soft cloth, dampened with a mild, non-
abrasive detergent or cleaning solution, such as Simple Green
a 10% bleach solution, or a 30% isopropyl alcohol solution. Pre-
soaked towelettes (isopropyl alcohol) may be used as an alter-
nate. Purchase isopropyl towelettes from computer retailers.
Do not spray or pour any detergents, solutions or other liquids
directly onto the analyzer. Dampen a soft cloth or disposable
paper towel with the detergent, then apply to the analyzer.
Note: While cleaning, inspect the analyzer's casing to
make sure it is not cracked or damaged.
