7.3 Cleaning
NOTICE
Improper cleaning of the wheelchair seat cushion
Risk of damage to seat cushion due to user error
► Do not machine wash the foam components.
► Do not dry the seat cushion and its components in the tumble dryer.
► Gently wipe the surface of the foam components with a soft, damp cloth or sponge; do not
rub. Do not use a brush or similar on the surface.
To prevent mould formation, the foam components must be completely dry before putting
►
them into the cover.
► Do not wash the cover at a temperature higher than specified. The cover can shrink when
washed at higher temperatures. This could impede the seat cushion's ability to redistribute
pressure and damage the fabric.
► Do not use any bleaching agents or fabric softeners for cleaning.
INFORMATION
► In case of advanced wear and tear, replace the components that are available as spare
parts.
► To disinfect the cover, add a standard hygiene detergent during washing.
In case of heavy incontinence, an additional incontinence cover should be used. Please
►
observe the care and cleaning instructions for the incontinence cover.
Clean the product every month.
